Innovative
Theater Troupe to Appear in NYC for Jewish Music and Heritage
Festival. Thu, 18 Aug
2005 16:27
On September 15th at 8:00 PM, an incredible troupe of 12 deaf-blind actors will take the stage at Lincoln Center/Rose Hall. Their performance showcases talent, imagination, and courage. Audiences will not only lose themselves in the riveting experience, but they will also be moved to tears by the overall vision this group brings to the stage and beyond. For these performers, their world is one of total silence and darkness -- and yet, they've come together under the guidance of a remarkable woman named Adina Tal to create a one-hour show titled Light is Heard in Zig Zag. The actors suffer from Usher Syndrome, which begins with congenital deafness and tunnel vision and develops over the years, progressively restricting the visual field until total blindness occurs. Without sight or hearing, these men and women rely solely on their sense of touch to communicate with one another: hence the name of their non-profit troupe, Nalaga'at, which means "Do Touch" in Hebrew. Adina Tal will be available for interviews beginning September 5th, and the rest of the group arrives on September 10th. Attached, you will find a press release about the performance and a PDF of the event flyer. Photography and DVDs are also available upon request. More information about the troupe can also be found at http://www.nalagaat.org.il/. Contact: Elizabeth Baxter or Liz Lane 212.845.4212 or 212.845.4236 elizabeth.baxter@eurorscg.com or liz.lane@eurorscg.com . To contact the group: info@nalagaat.org.il
First and Only Deaf-Blind Theater Troupe from Israel Makes Rare U.S. Appearance
A Theater Performance That Transcends Sight and Sound Will Inspire All To Believe In Their Dreams
Photo: Adina Tal's production. How do you communicate with others when you live in a world of complete silence and darkness? You touch. On September 15, 2005, a Lincoln Center audience will experience the extraordinary world of 12 deaf-blind actors who comprise the Nalaga’at (Hebrew for “Do Touch”) Theater Troupe. Their richly emotional production of “Light is Heard in Zig Zag” has enchanted audiences since the first ground-breaking performance in 2003. Fresh off 10 sold-out shows in Switzerland, Nalaga’at is staging a rare U.S. appearance as part of the second annual New York Jewish Music and Heritage Festival. “Light is Heard in Zig Zag” has won acclaim as “the most surprising hit of Israeli theater” and “the most unique social breakthrough in the world.” Each actor is accompanied onstage by an interpreter, who helps with timing and costume changes and taps the actors’ knees to communicate applause. Audiences around the world have been moved to tears. The group met in a drama class, and founder and director Adina Tal “recognized the potential of the group and fell in love with the people.” The production was created through a long process involving work on motion skills and improvisation, allowing the actors to transcend their own limitations. In Israel today, there are more than 1,000 deaf-blind people who live in silence, darkness, and solitude. Most deaf-blind people suffer from Usher Syndrome, which begins with congenital deafness and tunnel vision that develops over the years, progressively restricting the visual field until total blindness takes over. The non-profit organization Nalaga’at, established in December 2002, has raised the curtain for 12 deaf-blind people, allowing them to enjoy the most basic of rights: to give. The 2005 New York Jewish Music and Heritage Festival offers Nalaga’at the unique opportunity to reach a broad audience – young, old, religious, unaffiliated – and will facilitate a shared connection through the universal language of music. The 2005 festival will run for 10 days and includes over 60 concerts in prestigious concert halls, venues, and synagogues.
Nalaga’at Organization Directors: Adina Tal: Born in Switzerland, Adina came to Israel at the age of 20 and for many years has been active in the world of theater as a director and actress. Adina sought a new path to break through human boundaries. Within just a few years she built, together with a group of deaf-blind people, the performance “Light is Heard in Zig Zag.” Since then, her life has changed. Eran Gur: An Israeli-born businessman with some 20 years experience in the security field in Israel and abroad, Eran was invited by Adina to one of the first performances and since then has not been idle. Eran decided to change the course of his life, sold his business, joined Adina, and together, they wove a shared vision.
The Vision of the Organization: To establish an experimental and entertainment Center in Israel, the first of its kind in the world, in which deaf-blind people will be employed in a theater and a restaurant. The Center will offer unique theater productions as well as fine dining in complete darkness. The Center will serve as a model that enables disabled people to function in society while at the same time operate as an entertainment center for the general public, as well as an educational center and experimental meeting place for youngsters together with creative deaf-blind, able to contribute to and become part of society.
About the Downtown Arts Development: Downtown Arts Development, Inc. (D.A.D.), a non-profit organization as recognized by the IRS 501c3, was created in the Fall of 2004 to produce the inaugural New York Jewish Music & Heritage Festival, as part of the 350th anniversary celebration of the first Jews in America. The festival was a huge success reaching over one million people through strong media impressions and had 25,000 attendees during the 10-day event. This laid the groundwork for creating the organization’s purpose: to create, develop, and produce unique and compelling Jewish artistic programming that appeals to wide demographic audience. By leveraging the universal power of music, the organization is able to reach a large secular Jewish audience who might not otherwise recognize the artistic connection to Jewish culture. D.A.D.’s current strategy is to produce the New York Jewish Music & Heritage Festival and the Downtown Seder as annual events, along with a few ongoing music and art programs.

‘Greetings from Home’: 350 Years of Jewish Life in America, is an exciting exhibition that tells the story of a people’s signal achievement in this nation. After centuries of persecution in Europe and elsewhere, the United States offered its Jews a home that promised equal rights, economic opportunity and religious liberty. While they felt increasingly “at home” in America over time, the Jewish people of the United States never lost touch with their sense of connection to family and community in the lands they left behind. By the second half of the twentieth century, in the wake of the Holocaust and with the founding of Israel, American Jewry became the guarantors of Jewish survival throughout the world.
Featuring
more than 200 rare and remarkable items, many of which are displayed for
the first time, ‘Greetings from Home’ tells the story of the
American Jewish experience by organizing it around two inherent tensions
in American Jewish life. First, American Jews face the challenge of
maintaining a distinct Jewish religious and cultural identity while
participating fully in the broader American civil community. Secondly,
they must balance their sense of being “at home” in America while
maintaining connections to the “old country” and (in more recent times)
the international Jewish community, especially Israel. When the first
group of Dutch Jews landed in New Amsterdam in 1654 with the intention of
settling permanently, Governor-general Pieter Stuyvesant tried to expel
them. The New Amsterdam Jews wrote to their brethren in Amsterdam, asking
them to intervene so they could remain. The Dutch West India Company
consented, and American Jewry became established. With each generation,
they increasingly thrived.
By the second half of the twentieth century, Jews hold leading positions in the arts and culture, government and politics, science and medicine, business and popular culture. The rest of world Jewry – and many other oppressed groups – looks to the Jews of the United States to guarantee their safety and religious freedom.
‘Greetings from Home’ captures the amazing transformation of American Jewry from a small outpost of fewer than two thousand souls at the time of the American Revolution to the world’s largest and most influential Jewish community outside of Israel. Drawing on the voluminous holdings of the American Jewish Historical Society and major research institutions such as the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of Hebrew Union College, YIVO, the Leo Baeck Institute, the American Sephardi Federation and the Yeshiva University Museum, ‘Greetings from Home’ tracks the pioneering efforts of Jewish individuals and groups to define religious liberty for every American. The exhibition illustrates the many ways in which Jewish immigrants in every generation were transformed by American culture and, in turn, helped to transform that very culture. Above all, ‘Greetings from Home’ explores the ongoing ties that have bound American Jewry to Jewish communities around the world for 350 years. It brings into poignant view the lives of the Sephardic, German, Yiddish-speaking, Mizrachi and former Soviet Jewish immigrants who have come in successive waves to these shores, and highlights the ways those immigrants and their descendants, once at home in America, maintained their ties and sense of connection to the places from which they came.

A fascinating exploration into the world of
Talmud study, this exhibit illustrates how technological advances - the
invention of the printing press more than 500 years ago and the impact of
computers in recent decades - have transformed the ancient discipline of
Talmud study into an accessible pursuit available to all.
EARLY MANUSCRIPTS AND PRINTED BOOKS DISPLAYED WITH HISTORIC MOSAIC
FLOOR @ YESHIVA UNIVERSITY MUSEUM
Through, August 28, 2005. Admission:
$6.00/$4.00 for students and seniors. Hours- Sunday -Thursday: 11:00
am-5:00 pm
Printing the Talmud: From Bomberg to Schottenstein From the Sixth Century to the Present
Early Manuscripts & Printed Books displayed with Historic Mosaic Floor from Ancient Israeli Synagogue Video Installation Illustrates the contemporary worldwide fascination with the ancient discipline of Talmud Study A major exhibition at the Yeshiva University Museum at the Center for Jewish History, Printing the Talmud: From Bomberg to Schottenstein, will open on Tuesday, April 12, 2005, documenting the evolution of the 2,000 year-old Talmud from the sixth century to the computer age of the twenty-first century. The Yeshiva University Museum at the Center for Jewish History is located at 15 West 16th Street, New York, New York 10011. Offering a rare glimpse into and a fascinating exploration of the Talmud (the Hebrew for “study” or “learning”), Printing the Talmud will illustrate how technological advances – the invention of the printing press and the impact of computer technology in the past decade – have transformed the ancient discipline of Talmud study into an accessible pursuit. Following Johann Gutenberg’s printing of the first edition of the “Bible,” many non-Jewish as well as Jewish printers moved quickly to print books on Judaism. A centerpiece of the exhibition will be a rare, six volume complete edition of the Bomberg Talmud from 16th century Venice, surviving in its original binding for over four centuries. All 73 volumes of the recently completed Schottenstein Talmud will also be on display. Printing the Talmud: From Bomberg to Schottenstein will display other outstanding examples of early manuscripts and printed books on loan from world famous collections (a list of significant objects from the exhibition is attached). Other highlights of the exhibition and programming include: • An ancient synagogue mosaic floor, 11’ x 14’, from a sixth century synagogue in the Beth Shean valley in Israel, is making its maiden voyage outside of Israel to the United States for this exhibition. The Rehov Mosaic Floor contains a 29-line inscription about Jewish agriculture laws in the Talmud; it is the earliest surviving rabbinic text, and was considered a directive to Jewish farmers in the congregation. • Sixty-one paintings illustrating Talmudic issues, by Eliyahu Sidi of Ein Karem, Israel, will appeal to younger audiences with enchanting folk-like images. • The Infinite Sea, a 12-minute video installation capturing the excitement and energy of Talmud study with live footage from five continents, including countries from Iran to Peru and from Moscow to Glasgow. In planning the exhibition, a central goal of the curators was to offer visitors an opportunity to examine the history of Judeo-Christian relations, censorship and intellectual property issues, and how the Talmud influenced hundreds of years of international Jewish cooperation and communication.
About Yeshiva University Museum: Since its founding in 1973, Yeshiva University Museum's changing contemporary art and historical exhibits have celebrated the culturally diverse intellectual and artistic achievements of over 3,000 years of Jewish experience. In 2000, Yeshiva University Museum moved to the Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th Street, New York City, where it occupies four spacious galleries, a children's workshop center, and an outdoor sculpture garden. Visit www.yumuseum.org for more information about Yeshiva University Museum.
About the Center for Jewish History: In 2000, the Center for Jewish History, located in the heart of the historic Chelsea district, became the home of five distinguished partner institutions-the American Jewish Historical Society, the American Sephardi Federation, the Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Sharing a common vision of preserving and presenting Jewish culture and history, the five partner institutions in coming together, have created a meeting place where intellectual inquiries are exchanged and freely explored, and where the general public can find cultural programs devoted to a wide variety of themes and concerns. The combined holdings of the Center’s partners include over 100 million documents, books, art, artifact, photos, and other materials, making the Center the largest repository of Jewish history and culture outside the State of Israel. Other features of the building include a 250-seat auditorium, a gift shop, and the glatt kosher Date Palm Café.

STARTING OVER: THE
EXPERIENCE OF GERMAN JEWS IN AMERICA, 1830-1945
Through, November 15, 2005 in Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the
Leo Baeck Institute
“…one institution has taken on the task of preserving the existence of this [German] remarkable Jewish community…the Leo Baeck Institute in New York.” John V.H. Dippel, author of “Bound Upon a Wheel of Fire”
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Leo Baeck Institute at the Center for Jewish History, a landmark year that coincides with a milestone in American history: the 350th anniversary of the arrival of the first Jews to America which will be celebrated in a major exhibition sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society at the Center for Jewish History, located at 15 West 16th Street, New York City. Opening on May 17, 2005, Starting Over: The Experience of German Jews in America, 1830-1945, will contribute to this broader theme with photos, letters, documents, sketches, paintings, maps, medals and other rare artifacts of German-Jews who settled across the United States. Many of the approximately 150 documents and objects on display will be on view for the first time. Carol Kahn Strauss, Executive Director, Leo Baeck Institute remarked on the significance of LBI’s exhibit in context of the larger anniversary year of the 350th Anniversary of the first Jewish settlers in America. “Many immigrants [German Jews] played a significant role in shaping a wide array of contemporary issues in the arts or in professional careers …assuming an American identity that was enhanced by its German Jewish influence, much as the American culture was enhanced by the sensibilities of the newcomers. They became active in Hollywood, on Broadway, in the arts, in publishing and in religion, especially in the Reform and Conservative movements. German Jews also established organizations such as: Hadassah, B’nai B’rith, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the National Jewish Welfare Board that continue to flourish. Given the wealth of documents in the LBI archives on the German Jewish immigration to the United States, Ms. Strauss explains the sequence and background of how the exhibition is organized; “The émigré experience can be divided into pre-Nazi immigration of those taking risks to seek better opportunities and the Hitler-era arrival of disenfranchised Central Europeans fleeing for their lives.” The material on view is displayed in four sections: Leaving Home surveys the restrictive decrees and quotas that prompted thousands of Jews throughout German-speaking countries to leave their families and countries in search of a better life in America. New Horizons looks at the journey of 19th century émigrés, some rising from peddlers to tycoons, while most simply took advantage of new opportunities to create comfortable and secure lives. The Nazi Years explores the wave of immigrants from Central Europe rushing onto American shores. Many settled in New York, arriving with impressive artistic, cultural and intellectual credentials. Some prominent intellectual writers, and musicians were able to blend into American culture immediately, but most newcomers struggled with low-paying jobs, while trying to learn English or earn an American degree. Self-reliant and determined, many of the refugees fared extremely well.
To Preserve and to Remember tells the history of the Leo Baeck Institute. Its library, archives, art and photo collections have become the foremost repository for the collective history of the German-Jewish experience. Founded in 1955, the Institute was named in honor of Rabbi Leo Baeck, who was the last leader of the German Jewish community under the Nazi regime and the Institute’s first president, LBI maintains an archive in the Jewish Museum Berlin. To commemorate the 50th Anniversary milestone, which recalls German history as well as Jewish and American dimensions, the Leo Baeck Institute will hold its first dinner in Berlin at the new Akademie der Kunste Am Pariserplatz on Tuesday, June 21, 2005. Contact Tamara Moscowitz, Public Relations Director, 212-294-8303, or, email tmoscowitz@cjh.org.

Inna Barmash and the virtuoso Joey Weisenberg: Two magnificent
entertainers.
Romashka plays Gypsy music from Russia, Romania, and beyond. The musicians are a wild bunch of virtuoso rhythm-throttling chop-splitting Brooklyn-dwelling world music aficionados, who have gigged around the world in various Gypsy, Klezmer, Balkan, jazz, funk, ska and rock ensembles. Whether playing for wedding guests, experienced folk dancers or twenty-something hipsters, the band channels their raw musical energy to create an infectious intense Eastern European gypsy dance party experience. Romashka, the NYC Gypsy Dance Party Band was born in fits and torrents in the fall of 2003. Roaming from cafes and all-night jams, to apartment parties and subway stops, the band quickly catapulted to pulsating clubs and underground parties, drawing a loyal - and swiftly growing - following from downtown party revellers and outer-borough-dwelling ethnic communities alike. Contact: Inna at info@romashka.net 201.739.3931. Romashka musicians are unique and colorful. Inna Barmash (vocals) immigrated to the States from Lithuania, where she first started singing in Yiddish and Russian. She co-founded the Princeton-based band Klez Dispensers, and has performed with numerous other klezmer groups in the tri-state area. Her explorations of the repertoire of Russian and Romanian gypsies led to her co-founding of Romashka.

Stevhen Iancu (accordian, vocals, fire) the Japanese Romanian British immigrant, perhaps the only fire-breathing accordionist with a cooking show in Brooklyn has slung fish, chicken and muzik together and created a back drop for demented stories of the kitchen, murderers, mental patients, drunken crazies, transvestites and others that have fallen into the Dolomites' stew. Stevhen supported the "SMeLL the Muzik!" campaign on five National Dolomites' Tours filling and entertaining the bellies of the starving audiences at colleges, bars, clubs and theaters. He has also worked with the likes of Boston's tent revivalists Reverend Glasseye and His Wooden Legs as well as scored muzik for several different Puppet Theaters in Portland, Detroit and L.A. , and muzik for Will Vinton Studios (creators of the infamous California Raisins). Stevhen's fourth release for the Dolomites, "DaRumanian Chophouse" fuses Japanese Pop , Romanian , gypsy, and folk with songs about food and philosophy. Jeff Perlman (clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone) has been charming audiences with klezmer music since starting his first band in 1995, while still a high school student. He was an integral part of the Yale Klezmer Band for four years (1997-2001) as well as a founding member of the Wandering Jews Traveling Klezmer Band with whom he toured across North America on the Big Schlepp tour in the Summer of 2001. Lately, Jeff has been focusing his attention on learning the living musical traditions of Eastern Europe, particularly from Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.

KLEZMER
FESTIVAL REVIVING JEWISH TRADITIONS IN UKRAINE
NEW YORK- The sixth annual International Klezmer Festival, popularly known
as "Klezfest," and the largest to date, will be held from August 21 to 26 in
Kiev, Ukraine. The festival is being organized by the Center for Jewish
Education and sponsored by the Jewish Community Development Fund of American
Jewish World Service (JCDF), UJA-Federation of New York and other local
sponsors. Organizers are calling this year's Klezfest the largest and most
diverse in the festival's six-year history of revitalizing Jewish life in
the region by reviving Jewish culture and traditions. This year's collection
of performances, lectures and master classes will feature a variety of
klezmer styles from the traditional to the avant-garde, with 64 performers
and teachers from 13 countries ranging in age from 9 to 85. Its high point
will be a gala concert at Kiev's "Dom Khudozhnika" hall on August 25.m "In
just six short years Klezfest has become a vital institution in preserving
and reviving Jewish life in Ukraine," said Martin Horwitz, JCDF director.
"Not only has it has created a fertile environment for musicians and
scholars to collaborate, it is also bringing back Jewish culture to the
communities it came from in the first place." A special addition to this
year's festival is performances of century-old Yiddish "Purimspils" which
were documented by Russian Jewish folklorist Moshe Beregovsky in the early
20th century. These vibrant musical satires were once a common fixture in
the region on the festive holiday of Purim, and with the support of Klezfest
organizers, funders and participants, this Jewish tradition is also reviving
in the region. Yiddish classes will be offered at the festival in addition
to the choral and instrumental master classes that will be taught by
accomplished klezmer musicians from around the world. Participants from the
U.S. and Canada are Joshua Horowitz (Berkeley, CA); Michael and Sonya Isard
(Philadelphia, PA); Marilyn Lerner (Toronto, ON); and Lorin Sklamberg (New
York, NY). For more information the public is invited to visit

YIVO AT 80: A BRIEF ENCOUNTER
WITH ARCHIVES |
|
|
|
YIVO Institute for Jewish Research From a floral-embossed, leather-bound 18th century Talmudic tractate to a 1950s advertisement for Jenny Grossinger’s Jewish rye bread, East European Jewish life and its influence on American culture will go on display April 6 at the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan. The “YIVO at 80: A Brief Encounter with Archives” exhibit showcases the vast holdings of the archives and library of the YIVO Institute for Research, which is housed in the Center. “The exhibit represents the spiritual, artistic, political, economic, tragic, comic and mundane aspects of East European and American Jewish life,” explained YIVO Executive Director Dr. Carl J. Rheins. One of the rarest items in the exhibit is the 1566 book Hatsa’ah ‘al odot ha-get (An Account of the Bill of Divorce Given by Samuel Vintoroso), published in Venice. It relates the story of Tamar, daughter of Dr. Joseph Tamari of Venice, who was jilted by her betrothed. Tamar’s father asked the city’s rabbinate to excommunicate the bridegroom unless he went through with the nuptials. The hundreds of other items on display include: • letters to Jewish leaders from Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover. • pennant from the 1936 Convention of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union • 19th-century photo of Warsaw’s chief cantor Moishe Koussevitzky, singing while. standing on a railroad track. • photo of Jewish immigrants waving American flags as they gathered on the steps of the Hebrew Immigrant Society office on East Broadway in 1916. “This is not a cohesive story of Jewish life,” said Krysia Fisher, the exhibit’s curator and archivist of YIVO’s iconographic collections. “Rather, we are making the public aware of the breadth and depth of YIVO’s holdings, and of the priceless resource these materials represent to the Jewish people.” A 128-page color catalog of the exhibit is available at the Center for Jewish History Bookstore (917) 606-8220. It may be viewed online on the YIVO website at www.yivo.org. The exhibit will be in the Batkin Mezzanine and Constantiner Galleries, located in the Center for Jewish History, 15 W. 16th Street, New York City. (Subway: F, V to 14th St.; L to 6th Ave). Hours: Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free admission. For information, please call: (212) 246 6080. YIVO’s library has more than 360,000 volumes and its archives hold 23 million items. Each year, those holdings are accessed by thousands of writers, researchers, students, filmmakers, genealogists, musicians and members of the general public at the YIVO reading room or via e-mail, fax, telephone or the YIVO website. Founded in Vilna, Poland, in 1925 and based in Manhattan since 1940, the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research is the preeminent institution for the study of East European Jewish history and culture; Yiddish language, literature and folklore; and the American Jewish experience.

THE EXILES"- FIRST NEW YORK AREA SCREENING |
|
|
|
First New York Screening Of “The Exiles,” An Emmy Award-Winning Television Documentary that Captures the Story of the Émigrés Who Changed the Cultural, Political, and Social Climate of America Sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society and the Leo Baeck Institute. Editor’s Note: Post-screening discussion with director Richard Kaplan, and Richard J. Bernstein, Dean of the Graduate Faculty at New School University, on Monday, September 12 at the Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16 Street, New York City. During a span of eight years – from 1933 until 1941 -- some of Europe’s leading scholars, intellectuals, and artists fled Europe for America as totalitarianism gained a strong foothold in Germany and Italy. The story of these remarkable émigrés -- from Alfred Eisenstadt to Bruno Bettelheim, to Fritz Lang, to Hanna Gray, to Billy Wilder, is the subject of The Exiles, a television documentary directed by Richard Kaplan. The film will be shown in New York City for the first time at the Center for Jewish History at 7 p.m. This award winning documentary, originally aired on PBS in 1989, received critical acclaim as “ A sure TV attention getter,’ Variety (1990) and ...”adds to documentaries [on the Holocaust] as those about Anne Frank and Kristallnacht…” New York Times .(1989), and was widely recognized at the Berlin Film Festival, among many other leading international film festivals. Combining newsreel shots of Nazi atrocities interweaving interviews of over 70 European intellectuals, artists, and scientists and the friends and colleagues who organized major rescue efforts in aiding their escape to America, the vivid recollections of these individuals are at the core of the film’s stark power. The documentary is divided into three segments: 1) why they fled; 2) their impact on their adopted country; and 3) the relationship between Alvin Johnson’s University in Exile (now the Graduate Faculty of New School University). The Exiles covers six decades of Euro-American history, beginning with pre-World War II conditions that first prompted the émigrés to flee and concludes with reflections about mankind's future. This richly detailed account of the quest for intellectual and artistic freedom also draws on a wealth of period footage and archival material. A dramatic reading of poet Hans Sahl's (one of the exiles) We Are the Last Ones, punctuates the opening and closing of the film and underscores the experience of loss, isolation, and the struggle for rebirth in a new country. The screening of The Exiles is shown in conjunction with the exhibition “Greetings from Home:” 350 Years of American Jewish Life,” sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society, and on view through September 15, 2005. Biographies of the Speakers: Richard J. Bernstein is the Dean of the Graduate Faculty at New School University where he has been teaching since 1989. A celebrated scholar of American pragmatism, he is the author of numerous books including Beyond Objectivism (1983), Radical Evil: A Philosophical Interrogation (2002), Hannah Ardent and the Jewish Question (1996), among other writings published in intellectual journals. Richard Kaplan has a distinguished record as a documentary film and television writer-producer-director. His work has gained considerable critical recognition, earning him an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for The Eleanor Roosevelt Story, and an Emmy for “outstanding historical and cultural programming” for his production of The Exiles. For further information contact Tamara Moscowitz, Public Relations Director, 212-294-8303, email tmoscowitz@cjh.org. About American Jewish Historical Society: Founded in 1892, AJHS holdings include 20 million documents, 50,000 books and thousands of paintings and memorabilia that bear witness to the remarkable contributions of the American Jewish community to life in the Americas from the 16th century to the present.

HADASSAH ESTABLISHES PROGRAM FOR YOUNG WOMEN TO TAKE A STAND!
Combines fundraising and advocacy for favorable stem-cell legislation
A newly established program at Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, is capturing the attention and imagination of its young leaders and donors: in one day at the recent annual convention, Take a Stand! raised $180,000. Designed to allow women, 45 and under, to put their Jewish values to work, Take a Stand! offers participants the opportunity to advocate on behalf of stem-cell funding and research in the United States and support the state-of-the-art Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. For varying donation amounts – beginning at $360 a year (just under a dollar a day) – young women can target their giving to Take a Stand! and become a member of its Advocacy Corps. Those involved will receive frequent e-mail updates about important issues, events and legislation related to stem-cell research; will lead community members to meet with local officials to advocate on behalf of favorable stem-cell legislation; will represent Hadassah in coalition with other local groups that support stem-cell research, and will present educational programs for community members.
“We want to give young women in the Jewish community the opportunity to take action. This is the group that is considered ‘the sandwich generation.’ Every one of them knows someone whose child has just been diagnosed with diabetes or whose parent has Parkinson’s. They are frequently the caregivers to those with debilitating diseases that can be alleviated, or even eradicated, through advanced medical research,” said Shelley Sherman, national chair for Young Founders. “By both advocating for favorable stem-cell legislation in the U.S. and supporting the scientific developments at our hospitals in Israel, these women can make a difference in the lives of their relatives and friends.”
Hadassah, the largest women’s organization in the U.S., is the leading proponent in the Jewish community of embryonic stem-cell research and funding. This past spring, in the largest advocacy effort of the organization’s 92-year history, Hadassah delegations visited 50 state capitals to urge their legislators to pass favorable legislation. And, just recently, some 1,800 Hadassah delegates to Hadassah’s national convention visited Congressional representatives from 37 states in Washington, DC, holding more than 150 meetings to encourage favorable stem-cell legislation, among other issues of concern. At Hadassah’s Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research in Jerusalem, scientists continue to conduct cutting-edge research on some of the oldest stem-cell lines approved by the National Institutes of Health and are leading the way in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease by utilizing stem cells to generate dopaminergic neurons. They recently succeeded in showing that human embryonic stem cells can improve the functioning of a laboratory rat with Parkinson's Disease.

under the British Mandate in Israel. Invisible # 7 presents two of the
prisoners, Moshe Brezni from "Lechi" and Meir Feinstein from "Etzel",
who were sentenced to death by hanging, and choose to end their own

Infected Landscape -
Photographs by Shai Kremer
July 15–30
Opening reception:
July 19, 6 pm
Infected
landscape - Israel is a seven years photographic project examining the
Israeli landscape, focused on the relationship between man and his
environment within the complexities of the ever-changing Israeli
situation. The distance Israeli artist Shai Kremer kept while capturing
these images in aesthetic, orderly, beautiful compositions parallels the
defense mechanism that Israelis developed in order to protect themselves
from the intolerable reality of the current situation. Instead of dealing
directly with horrific situations, he chose to reflect on that same
reality in a more subtle way: to show how even the seemingly quietest
piece of landscape became infected with loaded sediments of the ongoing
conflict. Shai Kremer studied photography in Israel and at the School of
Visual Arts, where he recently graduated the Master in Fine Arts –
Photography program. His work has been exhibited in Israel at the Ramat
Gan Museum of Modern Art, the Jerusalem Cinematheque, the Tel Aviv Camera
Obscura Gallery, the Tel Aviv University Gallery, the Givat Haviva Art
Center, and the Tel Aviv Israeli Architects Association Exhibition Center.
His upcoming shows in the states include the Photographic Center
Northwest, Seattle (WA) and Art & Commerce, New York (NY).

Dina
Recanati - Recent Works
Jul. 14 - Aug. 27
Opening reception: Jul. 14, 5 pm
Dina
Recanati’s images emerge from experience and memory, both personal and
collective, as an homage to ancient cultures, to earth and time. While her
art is often a combination of painting and the sculptural, the
three-dimensional is conditioned by prevailing esthetics. Her recent works
are made of recycled material mostly drawn from her last show Passage,
which included “Bundles and Tents”. The works are reconstructed and given
new meaning and new appearance. Recanati was born in Cairo, studied art
and history in England, and then joined the Art Students League in New
York. Presently she lives in New York and Israel. Her work can be seen at
the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, the Tel Aviv Museum, Ben Gurion Airport, Tel
Aviv University, The Jewish Museum, New York, the Herziliya Museum,
Weisman Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel and in many other public
places and private collections.

May Peace Prevail in the
Land of Milk and Honey - Tamar Hirschl and Elena Keller
Through July 15
New
York-based Israeli artist Tamar Hirschl combines personal memories of
conflict and strife with more recent global confrontations. The formal
result is a subtle balance between explosive strokes and an acute
attention to iconographic detail. She juxtaposes objects, some rendered
freely and others decisively, to develop a body of work that reads as a
monumental epic. Elena Keller's series on Israel visualizes the currents
of the most diverse energies that comprise the Holy Land -- energies of
geological formation, religious passion, historical drama, myth-making and
the quests for individual harmony.
The
canvasses are very specific, not in terms of "recognizability" to the
viewer's impulses, but namely on the level of capturing these energies.

Forevermore: The Hansen
Project - Yuval Yairi
Through July 31
Jerusalem
based artist Yuval Yairi's, first solo exhibition in North America
includes 20 mosaic-like color photographs of The Hospital for Hansen
Disease in Jerusalem, an almost vacant leprosy hospital and the remnants
of the lives that once inhabited it. The Israeli novelist and Nobel
laureate S.Y. Agnon used this leprosy hospital as the backdrop for his
novel “Shira” and in his short story “Forevermore” - hence the title of
this exhibition. Working on a tripod with a digital video camera in still
mode, from a single viewpoint, Yairi approximates the movement of the
viewer's gaze as he slowly observes the details before him.
