SUMMARY:Virtual Walking Tour: Florence\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:The Jewish presence in Florence dates to at least 1437\, when the Florentine Republic called upon a group of resident Jews to restructure their banks to take over the indispensable function of lending money\, thereby saving Christian bankers – and their souls – from the damning sin of usury. On this live virtual tour\, we will walk the streets that date back to Roman times. See the original site of the very first Jewish Temple and the Piazza della Repubblica\, the former location of the now-destroyed ghetto. Finally\, see the crowning glory of the city’s Jewish community: the Grand Synagogue\, hailed as one of the most beautiful in Europe.

SUMMARY:Virtual Walking Tour: Ljubljana\, Slovenia
DESCRIPTION:From a once-thriving medieval community to one of the smallest Jewish communities in Europe today\, with only 150 Jews remaining\, Slovenia’s Jewish community has survived cruel medieval expulsions and the ravages of the wars of the twentieth century\, only to find itself eroding even more during subsequent years of socialist rule.

Our guide will also discuss Jewish life in a Christian society and talk about the city’s notable Jewish residents.

SUMMARY:The American Way: A True Story of Nazi Escape\, Superman\, and Marilyn Monroe
DESCRIPTION:Family lore had it that author Bonnie Siegler’s grandfather Jules crossed paths with Marilyn Monroe in Midtown Manhattan late one night in 1954\, her white dress flying up around her as she filmed a scene for The Seven Year Itch. Siegler wasn’t sure she quite believed her grandfather’s story…until\, cleaning out his apartment\, she found the film reel. That discovery would prompt her to investigate her grandfather’s seemingly-tall tales — and lead her in pursuit of a remarkable\, poignant piece of forgotten history\, bridging old Hollywood\, the birth of the comic book\, and the Holocaust. The American Way is a kaleidoscopic tale of hope and reinvention\, of daring escapes and fake identities\, of big dreams and the magic of movies\, and what it means to be a real-life Superman. Authors of The American Way\, Bonnie Siegler and Helene Stapinski\, will be joined in conversation by NY Times contributor Bob Morris.

SUMMARY:Queer History: Drag and the Waterfront
DESCRIPTION:Why are queer communities often found at geographic peripheries like the waterfront? What is the connection between drag and the seaport? Join the Seaport Museum for a conversation with drag legend\, Linda Simpson\, who will answer these questions while illuminating the “herstory” of drag and sharing her first-hand account of the rise and evolution of drag in the 1980s and 90s in New York City. This lively presentation will include personal photos and memories––assembled just for this event––which highlight drag history on the waterfront\, including the annual Wigstock and a drag-themed boat cruise that embarked from the South Street Seaport. Registration required.

SUMMARY:Governors Island Winter Ice Sculpture Show
DESCRIPTION:Live ice carv­ing\, enjoy music and warm drinks\, and vote on their favorite works for the ​“People’s Choice Award\,” pre­sent­ed to the fan favorite. Ice sculp­ture com­pe­ti­tions and exhi­bi­tions have a long his­to­ry around the world but are not typ­i­cal­ly seen on a grand scale in New York City — and are often lim­it­ed to artists who spe­cial­ize in ice carv­ing. The Gov­er­nors Island Win­ter Ice Show strives to democ­ra­tize this pop­u­lar activ­i­ty\, trans­form­ing it into one open to all artists regard­less of dis­ci­pline and pre­vi­ous experience.
