SUMMARY:Virtual Moroccan Rosh Hashanah Cooking Workshop with Wandering Chew & New York Shuk
DESCRIPTION:Rosh Hashanah is right around the corner and we want to help you create a memorable and delicious holiday table\, no matter how many people are gathered around it. Alongside familiar staples\, we love to include different food traditions as part of our holiday meals. In this spirit\, we’re hosting a virtual Rosh Hashanah cooking workshop along with Ron Arazi of New York Shuk.\n\nNew York Shuk is an artisanal food company focusing on Sephardic and Middle Eastern Jewish cuisines founded by Ron & Leetal Arazi. As two Israeli-natives\, living and cooking in New York City\, their mission is to elevate and share the vibrant traditional foods they grew up eating. Their line of handcrafted pantry staples give home chefs the tools they need to bring true Middle Eastern flavor into the kitchen\, and they happen to be some of our favorite products. We are so excited to (virtually) cook with Ron!\n\nRon will share his recipe for tanzeya\, a moroccan stew of dried fruit\, caramelized onion and nuts that his family makes for Rosh Hashanah. We’ll also be making Pain Petri\, an anise-flavoured challah with sesame seeds\, that is traditionally served for the High Holidays in the Moroccan-Jewish community.\n\nJoin us and New York Shuk on Sunday\, September 13th from 1-2 pm EST on Zoom. To access the Zoom link\, please RSVP using the Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/the-wandering-chew-4691434761.\n\nThe event is pay-what-you-can\, with a suggested amount of $18\, and once you sign up\, you’ll be sent the link to access the virtual workshop along with a list of the ingredients you’ll need to cook along with us.

SUMMARY:How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish
DESCRIPTION:Join us with our partners\, the Jewish Public Library\, for a discussion on How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish\, with authors Ilan Stavans and Josh Lambert.  \nA momentous and diverse anthology of the influences and inspirations of Yiddish voices in America – radical\, dangerous\, and seductive\, but also sweet\, generous\, and full of life – edited by award-winning authors and scholars Ilan Stavans and Josh Lambert. Is it possible to conceive of the American diet without bagels? Or Star Trek without Mr. Spock? Are the creatures in Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are based on Holocaust survivors? And how has Yiddish\, a language without a country\, influenced Hollywood? These and other questions are explored in this stunning and rich anthology of the interplay of Yiddish and American culture. \nIlan Stavans is the Publisher of Restless Books and the Lewis-Sebring Professor of Humanities\, Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College. \nJosh Lambert is the academic director of the Yiddish Book Center and visiting assistant professor of English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. \n\nFor registration\, visit this link

SUMMARY:Red Light Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming back Karen Herland for a special walking tour of Montreal’s historic Red Light District!\n\n\nSex work\, especially in its most visible forms\, tends to be recognized as a problem\, requiring intervention and eradication. As a major transportation hub and port city\, many sectors of Montreal’s economy were intertwined with the sex trade\, even as police and politicians manipulated social responses (positive and negative) to the presence of a thriving Red Light District. From Maimie Pinzer to Harry Ship and through to the present day\, this tour explores the social\, economic\, labour\, cultural\, racial\, and gender history of Montreal through its former Red Light\, which for decades thrived in the heart of Montreal’s burgeoning Jewish community.\n\n\nThis tour covers 150 years and 10 city blocks over 1.5-2 hours. The tour begins on the southeast corner of Boulevard René Lévesque and Boulevard St. Laurent and ends near St. Laurent metro station. The tour will be taking place in English.\n\n\nTickets are $21 general admission and $10 for students. Spots are limited\, and tickets can be purchased only in advance using this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/red-light-tour-tickets-119139283805\n\n\nAll tour group participants must sign a health and safety waiver ahead of their tours\, which will be sent out following purchase of tickets. All tour participants must wear a mask or face shield during the tour\, and social distancing will be maintained throughout.

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas with FestivALT
DESCRIPTION:Digital Diasporas with FestivALT \nThursday September 24 at 5:00PM EDT \nWe are excited to be hosting the artists\, thinkers\, and creators behind a new art-activism project from Kraków-based Jewish arts collective FestivALT for the September edition of our Digital Diasporas series! \nJoin FestivALT co-director Magda Rubenfeld-Koralewska\, cultural anthropologist and curator Erica Lehrer and artist Jaqueline Nicholls to discover their approach to a new critical intervention around Jewish subject matter in the Krakow Ethnographic Museum\, and the ways it has changed and evolved as a result of the global pandemic. \nThis event is free and will be held on Zoom. Click here to register via Eventbright. \nAbout the Project: Despite its location in a former Jewish school in the heart of the Jewish quarter in Kraków\, Poland\, and covering one of the richest periods of multicultural history in Galicia\, the permanent exhibit of the city’s historic Ethnographic Museum (MEK) barely addresses Jewish or other minority cultures. In July 2019 FestivALT initiated a public conversation with the Museum’s Director regarding the museum’s ethnic depictions and silences. MEK had no prior contact with Kraków’s Jewish community\, and the results of that conversation were surprising for all\, catalyzing a process of collaboration with the Jewish community and self-critique for the museum\, to consider how it might better exhibit Jewish and minority cultures going forward. \nIn 2020 FestivALT is collaborating with Professor Erica Lehrer (a Montreal-based cultural anthropologist with longstanding connections to Poland and MEK) and partnering with four artists working in mixed media (Jacqueline Nicholls\, Dorota Mytych\, Wiktor Podgórski and Edward Pasewicz) to design a large-scale multi-media installation responding to the museum’s problematic content. Due to COVID-19\, the works will be projected on the museum\, raising questions and offering curatorial dreams for after lockdown. \nJoin us to discuss this unfolding activist provocation! \nAbout the speakers \nErica Lehrer – cultural anthropologist and curator\, teaches at Concordia University\, Founding Director of the Curating and Public Scholarship Lab (CaPSL) http://capsl.cerev.ca/director/\nJaqueline Nicholls – visual artist\, educator and cultural events producer. Her art engages traditional Jewish ideas in untraditional ways. http://www.jacquelinenicholls.com/\nMagda Rubenfeld Koralewska – graphic designer\, social entrepreneur\, activist\, co-founder and co-artistic director of FestivALT. http://festivalt.com \n  \nAbout Digital Diasporas \nMuch as a diaspora describes the dispersal of a people across space\, this series explores the new movements artists are taking away from their practice in the digital world or how they are working in ways that forge new communities and connections despite geographic distance. In short\, it’s a series about being apart\, together. Join us each month as selected artists take us through their practice prior to the pandemic\, their innovations in response to social distancing\, and their visions for the future.

SUMMARY:Games I Don't Want to Play: Horah Alone
DESCRIPTION:Michelle Soicher and Joseph Glaser invite you to join them for an evening of Jewish existential dread and fun to launch the start of their project Games I Don’t Want to Play: Horah Alone. \nMichelle and Joseph have combined their theatre and music backgrounds to create Games I Don’t Want to Play\, a celebration of millennial Jewish identity in all its contradictions.

SUMMARY:Songs of Salomon: Piano Concert with Alexandra Gorlin Crenshaw
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for Songs of Salomon\, a multimedia performance by pianist/soprano Alexandra Gorlin-Crenshaw\, based on the work of the German-Jewish painter\, Charlotte Salomon \nCharlotte Salomon was born in Berlin in 1917 and perished in Auschwitz in 1943. She became known only many years posthumously for her multidisciplinary work Leben? Oder Theater?–a narrative series of paintings\, text\, and music that she created between 1941-42 while she lived in hiding in the south of France. The work miraculously survived the war thanks to the care of a French doctor who later returned it to her remaining family.  \nBlurring borders of style and genre\, Salomon juxtaposed her texts and paintings with opera arias\, Schubert lieder\, Yiddish folk songs\, tangos\, and popular melodies from 1920s Berlin\, portraying the rich musical surroundings of the time\, and revealing her personal tastes. Alexandra Gorlin-Crenshaw adds solo piano works and arrangements to the mix –along with a few new experiments– formulating her own re-imagining of Salomon’s musical mind. \nThe concert will begin at 6:30pm on Thursday\, November 5th. \nThis first production of Songs of Salomon is possible thanks to support from the Banff Centre for the Arts and the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Micro-grants for Creative and Cultural Exploration. \nDonations made through eventbrite go towards supporting the Museum of Jewish Montreal\, to donate to Alexandra directly\, use the following link: https://paypal.me/agorlincrenshaw \nCanadian-American pianist/soprano Alexandra Gorlin-Crenshaw holds performance degrees from Indiana University and the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal\, where she studied with Jean-Louis Haguenauer and André Laplante. Her projects have included a performance of the Ravel Trio at Montreal’s Bourgie Hall with violinist Ewald Cheung and cellist Peter Wiley; Rachmaninoff works in the latest Intégrale pour piano in Sorel-Tracy\, Schumann’s Dichterliebe with dancers; and the complete J.S. Bach Toccatas. She currently incorporates her singing voice into performances at the piano\, exploring what kinds of vulnerability and honesty this practice can add to her work. \nReserve Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas with Joey Ramona and New Ways of Worship Zine Launch
DESCRIPTION:As part of our collaboration with Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist Joey Ramona\, the first featured artist of our contemporary arts cycle Permanence\, we are thrilled to announce the November edition of our Digital Diasporas series. This session will feature not only an artist presentation\, but the launch of a new zine publication! \n\n\nJoin Joey and the curatorial team at the Museum of Jewish Montreal on Zoom to learn about Joey’s work as a Queer Jewish tattoo artist\, their experiences with their practice through the pandemic\, and the creation of their new zine New Ways of Worship as part of their collaboration with the Museum of Jewish Montreal. As a self-identified Queer\, feminist Jewish artist\, Ramona uses tattooing to delve into deeper avenues of self-expression that relate not only to their identity\, but also to the Jewishness of their clients. Come learn about this new radical way of Jewish celebration and ritual with Joey Ramona! \nAttendees to this event will have the chance to receive a free copy of Joey’s zine shipped to their house. The first 80 registrants to Digital Diasporas with Joey Ramona will receive a bound\, colour copy of New Ways of Worship in the mail. Don’t forget to include your address when registering! Only attendees living in Canada with a Canadian shipping address are eligible for this free mail-out. \nAbout Joey Ramona \nJoey Ramona a multi-disciplinary artist from Toronto\, Ontario\, specializing in tattooing.

DESCRIPTION:What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Hanukkah? Typically\, we think of golden potato latkes frying in oil\, right? Well\, did you know that the first latkes were made with ricotta cheese? These delicious ricotta latkes were made by Jews living in Italy\, and were accompanied by sweet honey or delicious fruit preserves.\nThe typical potato latkes we’ve come to know and love only became a staple in the Jewish kitchen in the 18th Century. However\, cheese latkes have been made for Hanukkah since the middle ages\, when both dairy and fried foods became Hanukkah traditions. \n\nAre you ready to try your hand at ricotta lakes? Get into the Hanukkah spirit and join us and The Wandering Chew  for a virtual workshop on Sunday\, December 6th from 1 – 2:15 pm to learn how to make sweet ricotta cheese latkes and persimmon jam. Ricotta latkes topped with sweet jam? Happy Hanukkah indeed! To access the Zoom link\, please RSVP using the Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/atelierworkshop-sweet-ricotta-latkes-avecwith-the-wandering-chew-registration-128883629405 \n\nWe’re also excited to be presenting this event in partnership with our friends at the Westmount Public Library.

SUMMARY:breaking protocols Virtual In-Process Presentation with theatre dybbuk
DESCRIPTION:Hosted in partnership with the Museum of Jewish Montreal\, theatre dybbuk will present a virtual in-process presentation of its latest work-in-progress\, breaking protocols. The approximately 60-minute event will be presented through Zoom and will include readings from the in-process script performed by the show’s ensemble\, as well as a chat with theatre dybbuk’s artistic director. Immediately following the discussion\, the audience is also invited to participate in an optional 30-minute writing workshop that explores the themes of the show. \nAbout breaking protocols \nSet in the U.S. on the eve of the 1940 election\, breaking protocols examines the quintessential antisemitic text\, “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion\,” through the lens of a decaying vaudeville troupe using the tricks of the trade to try to set the record straight. Through “The Protocols\,” theatre dybbuk’s performance will explore contemporary issues connected to racism\, propaganda\, and false narratives. \nCurrently scheduled to premiere at the Philosophical Research Society (prs.org) in Los Angeles\, CA in August 2021\,  breaking protocols is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project\, co-commissioned by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) and The Hive at Leichtag Commons.  \nVisit www.theatredybbuk.org/in-development for more information.  \nAbout “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” \nSupposedly the record of secret meetings of Jewish leaders\, “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” describes an alleged conspiracy to dominate the world. Nowhere in “The Protocols” does it indicate when or where the meetings took place\, who attended\, or who authored it. “The Protocols” was first published in 1903 (an abbreviated version) in the St. Petersburg newspaper Znamya (The Banner); it was published in its entirety in 1905 as an appendix to the book The Great in the Small and the Antichrist as an Imminent Political Possibility by Sergei Nilus. \nIn 1920 in the U.S.\, Henry Ford published The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem\, a compilation of a series of articles largely based on “The Protocols” that appeared in Ford’s Dearborn Independent newspaper. It sold more than 500\,000 copies and was translated into at least 16 languages. \nDespite the fact that it has been thoroughly discredited as a fraud (first by Irish journalist Philip Graves in a series of articles in The Times of London in 1921)\, “The Protocols” continues to be a touchpoint and inspiration for antisemitic groups world-wide. \nAbout theatre dybbuk \ntheatre dybbuk creates provocative new works that blend physical theatre with dance\, poetry\, and music for exciting\, utterly singular live experiences. The company explores the rich world of Jewish folklore\, rituals\, and history\, building lyrical performances that illuminate universal human experience for contemporary audiences.  \nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom. Please register in advance by clicking this link. You will receive the Zoom link one hour before the event. If you wish to make a donation\, you’ll have the option to do so upon registration. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas with Alessio Mazzaro
DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to share the first instalment of Digital Diasporas for 2021 with multidisciplinary artist and performer Alessio Mazzaro. Mazzaro’s most recent project\, La parole transmise (2015-20) is a trilogy of works which focus on the migration of Jews from Morocco to Paris and Montreal. In the lens of documentary filmmaking and storytelling\, Mazzaro creates a space of encounter and coexistence through conversation. By doing so\, he aims to expand not only the ownership of a narrative\, but also the group of people which it represents. Join us for a live discussion and Q&A with Alessio to hear more about his practice\, and how his projects have shifted amid the pandemic. \nAbout the Artist:  \n\n\nAlessio Mazzaro is an Italian artist\, theatre performer\, histories researcher\, and former engineer. He is interested in meaning-making through collective conversation. Currently\, Mazzaro has been enquiring how spectators and citizens – through processes of narrative exchange (testimony\, feedback\, and imagination) – can change their surroundings\, be it a work of art they are witnessing\, the urban space where they live\, or a historical narration they have inherited. \nMazarro is the recipient of the ECF Courageous Citizens Research Grant (2018)\, and he has been an artist-in-residence at the Cité internationale des Arts (Paris)\, Residencia Artistica Faap and Pivo Arte Pesquisa (São Paulo). He collaborated with the Center for Global Migration Studies and the Max Plack Institute for Ethnic and Religious Diversity (Göttingen)\, and was assistant to Petrit Halilaj and Flaka Haliti at the Venice Art Biennale. His work has been presented at Muntpunt\, Recyclart and Galerie Felix Frachon (Brussels)\, La colonie and Galerie de la Cité internationale des arts (Paris)\, H2/61.26\, (Casablanca)\, Studio RCA (London)\, LADA: Live Arts Development Agency (London)\, Eastern Bloc (Montreal)\, Electric Eclectics Festival 2015 (Meaford\, ON)\, Popps Packing (Detroit)\, Tate Modern (within Tate Exchange)\, Spike Island Open Studios (Bristol) and SuperNormal 2016 (UK)\, Prize Fondazione Francesco Fabbri per l’Arte Contemporanea\, CampoBase and Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa (Italy). \nAbout Digital Diasporas: \nMuch as a diaspora describes the dispersal of a people across space\, this series explores the new movements artists are taking away from their practice in the digital world or how they are working in ways that forge new communities and connections despite geographic distance. In short\, it’s a series about being apart\, together. Join us each month as selected artists take us through their practice prior to the pandemic\, their innovations in response to social distancing\, and their visions for the future. \nTo register for this free event\, please consult the Eventbrite link.\nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link three hours before the event. If you wish to make a donation\, you’ll have the option to do so upon registration. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Transcestors: Gender in the Jewish Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Even though we’ve been told that they don’t\, trans and genderqueer people have always existed in Judaism – in the origin stories of its sacred texts\, in the extensive Rabbinic tradition of text commentary\, in its poetry\, and in its people. Come learn about the bigenderedness of the first human in the Torah\, created in the image of a multigendered God; the six genders discussed in the Talmud; some 18th century Ladino poetry about our trans biblical ancestors; and prayer and blessings that sanctify liminality and the undefinable. \nThis event is an offering from a Montreal trans Jew on their learning journey to other trans and queer Jews\, but is open to all – anyone interested is encouraged to join! \nThere will be time for (optional) breakout groups with guided questions to share thoughts and feelings in smaller groups*\, and there will also be time for a Q&A at the end with daph. \nLive closed captions will be provided throughout the event and in breakout rooms. \nJewish calendar date of event: ערב י”ד בשבט תשפ”א / Eve of 14th of Shvat\, 5781 \nRegistration is necessary to receive the Zoom link!  Register for tickets here \n*There will be an option for a closed queer/trans breakout group. You’ll receive instructions for how to access it during the event (Zoom magic!). \ndaph ben david is a gender/queer educator\, activist and stage manager born and raised on the unceded Kanien’kehá:ka and Anishnaabe territory of so-called Montreal\, Quebec. They are a child of first- and second-generation immigrants\, from Israel-Palestine and Romania\, and grew up in the liminal space between modern Orthodoxy and secular Canadian-Israeli culture. They have spent the past year wrestling with prayer and Jewish community building while being a trans diasporic Jew\, and are an aspiring rabbinical student. \n  \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal would like to thank the Community Investment Fund and the Morris and Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation for their generous support of this program

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas with Lauren Prousky
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live discussion and Q&A with multidisciplinary artist Lauren Prousky in our February edition of Digital Diasporas! \nAs part of our collaboration with Kitchener-Waterloo-based multidisciplinary artist Lauren Prousky\, the second featured artist of our contemporary art cycle Permanence\, we are delighted to announce the February edition of Digital Diasporas. This session will feature an artist talk\, Q&A\, and preview of the museum’s partnership with the artist\, including a digital exhibition and experiential art workshop. \nJoin Lauren and the curatorial team at the Museum of Jewish Montreal to learn more about Lauren’s practice\, her experiences as an artist amid the pandemic\, and her ongoing series\, To build tiny monuments is to gather what’s there. As the basis of her forthcoming MJM digital exhibition\, this series reflects on a particular “Jewish impulse of collecting” that provokes memory\, storytelling\, family ties\, and the artist’s relationship with facets of cultural Judaism. By using found objects\, Lauren’s works – spanning readymade sculptures\, textiles\, paintings\, and installations – are collectively informed by the organized chaos of collections that she was surrounded by throughout her own upbringing.  \nAbout Lauren Prousky \nLauren Prousky is a multidisciplinary artist\, curator\, and writer based in Kitchener-Waterloo. She holds an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Waterloo\, and a BFA in Studio Arts and English Literature from Concordia University in Montreal. Lauren’s work has been exhibited in various venues across Canada\, the United States\, and Europe\, including Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn (2020)\, Art Mûr in Montreal (2019\, 2016)\, Gallery 1313 in Toronto (2016)\, and Fish Factory Creative Centre in Iceland (2016). Her ongoing series\, To build tiny monuments to gather what’s there\, is supported by the Ontario Arts Council.  \nTo view more of Lauren’s work\, visit her website\, or check out her Instagram. \nClick here to view the exhibition text and other related resources for To build tiny monuments is to gather what’s there. \nAbout Permanence Art Cycle at MJM \nPermanence began as the theme for the Museum’s 2020-2021 art exhibition cycle. Reoriented and adapted for a socially-distanced and increasingly digital world\, this cycle invites artists to question and examine the many permutations of ‘forever.’ Through a series of artistic innovations and events\, we invite the public to consider permanence in a moment of flux\, whether in the ephemera of [in]stability\, the way we make lasting spaces for our communities\, the unseen but constant presences that shape us\, or the quiet\, determined mutability of the seemingly eternal. \nAbout Digital Diasporas \nMuch as a diaspora describes the dispersal of a people across space\, this series explores the new movements artists are taking away from their practice in the digital world or how they are working in ways that forge new communities and connections despite geographic distance. In short\, it’s a series about being apart\, together. Join us each month as selected artists take us through their practice prior to the pandemic\, their innovations in response to social distancing\, and their visions for the future. \nTo register for this free event\, please consult the Eventbrite link.\nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link three hours before the event.

SUMMARY:Remaking Edgware: Presentation and Video Screening
DESCRIPTION:February 17 from 7:00pm – 8:15pm EST\nFree Zoom Event – *Registration Required — Click Here*\nCentered around a family’s pre-war life in Leipzig and the experience of their flight path to the Caribbean\, Remaking Edgware is a video artwork that aims to rediscover and reimagine a history made quiet by time\, diaspora and trauma. \nRemaking Edgware is grounded in the exploration of cultural and historical documents from personal and public archives. Through revisiting family stories\, retrieving details from the past\, and reimagining moments that might not have been committed to memory\, the artist uses fact and fiction to create a dialogue between themself and the imagined voice of their grandfather. The work is an altar\, an attempt to honour what we know happened\, what we were told happened\, and what has been left to the haze of the past. \nThis screening presents the first edit of the video work made through the artist’s process of observing\, uncovering\, debunking and writing into the silences of a family’s mythology. The event will begin with an introduction of the project by the artist\, a screening component and a live Q&A. \nThis event is free but requires registration. Please register ahead at: http://bit.ly/RemakingEdgware \nA Zoom link will be sent to all registrants 2 hours prior to the event. \nRemaking Edgware is an independent project developed through the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrants for Creative and Cultural Exploration.

SUMMARY:Tiramatzu: A New Spin on Passover Sweets with Jake Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for something new to serve at this year’s Seder? Jake Cohen has got you covered with ‘tiramatzu’ from his recently published debut cookbook\, JEW-ISH: Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch! This decadent combination of the classic Italian dessert tiramisu\, made with Passover-friendly matzo\, is sure to be a hit at this year’s table\, no matter the size. \nJoin the Museum of Jewish Montreal with acclaimed chef and recipe developer Jake Cohen as we put a new spin on Passover desserts\, and reconsider the possibilities of the holiday’s treats. In this live cooking demo\, Jake will demonstrate the recipe step-by-step so you’ll be extra prepared to make Tiramatzu on your own or with your loved ones! Prior to the event\, all attendees will receive a copy of the recipe\, so you can follow along with Jake and save it for whenever you’re ready to make your own. \nYou can register for this free event on Eventbrite. Attendees will receive the Zoom link and recipe three hours prior to the event.  \nThis event will be hosted by Lara Rabinovitch. Lara Rabinovitch\, PhD\, is a writer and consultant specializing in food\, restaurant culture\, and immigrant history. Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times\, Saveur\, The Globe & Mail\, and other media outlets. She is Co-Curator of the upcoming exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center\, “I’ll Have What She’s Having: The Jewish Deli”. \nAbout Jake Cohen:\nJake Cohen is the former food editor of Tasting Table and Time Out New York\, and now serves as the editorial director of the FeedFeed (@thefeedfeed). He has written for websites and publications including Food52\, Saveur\, and others. He lives in New York City with his husband\, Alex. \nAbout JEW-ISH:\nWhen you think of Jewish food\, a few classics come to mind: chicken soup with matzo balls\, challah\, maybe a babka if you’re feeling adventurous. But as food writer and nice Jewish boy Jake Cohen demonstrates in this stunning debut cookbook\, Jewish food can be so much more. In Jew-ish\, he reinvents the food of his Ashkenazi heritage and draws inspiration from his husband’s Persian-Iraqi traditions to offer recipes that are modern\, fresh\, and enticing for a whole new generation of readers. Imagine the components of an everything bagel wrapped into a flaky galette and latkes dyed vibrant yellow with saffron for a Persian spin on the potato pancake\, plus best-ever hybrid desserts like Macaroon Brownies and Pumpkin Spice Babka! From elevated\, yet approachable classics like Jake’s Perfect Challah\, Roasted Tomato Brisket\, Short Rib Cholent\, and Iraqi Beet Kubbeh Soup to innovative creations like Cacio e Pepe Rugelach\, Sabich Bagel Sandwiches\, and Matzo Tiramisu\, Jew-ish is a brilliant collection of delicious recipes\, but it’s also much more than that. As Jake reconciles ancient traditions with our modern times\, his recipes become a celebration of a rich and vibrant history\, a love story of blending cultures\, and an invitation to gather around the table and create new memories with family\, friends\, and loved ones. \nThis event is made possible thanks to the support of the Nussia and Andre Aisenstadt Foundation\, the Jewish Community Foundation\, and Federation CJA.

SUMMARY:Finding Treasure\, Getting the Dirt: Comic Launch and DIY Research Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On a cold March evening in Montreal\, Cesario Lavery was walking home from a shift in an unfamiliar part of town when he stumbled across an old\, discarded first-edition book of early literary criticism on the great Franz Kafka. When he cracked it open\, he was amazed to discover that this was not only an extraordinary book\, but a portal to the life of an extraordinary man – the book’s previous owner\, one Dr Chaim Fischel Shatan. \n דער עדות \n(Der Eydes—The Witness) is Cesario’s ongoing serialized comic about the treasure he found and the treasure it led to. It is one part detective novel and one part biography\, with generous heaps of autofiction and family history mixed in.  \nThis 23rd of March\, join us online for the launch of the first volume of this work and for Cesario’s talk on how and where to find your own portal-treasures\, and how to hone your skills as unlicensed private detective as you track down their origin stories. We’ll discuss treasure-hunting\, personal and/or family research\, repatriation\, and the ethics of carrying out this work from a decidedly non-academic standpoint. Learn where the goods are\, how you can find them\, your responsibilities and obligations as treasure-custodian\, and how to listen for the stories these treasures can tell us. \nThis event is a part of our Microgrant Program for Creative or Cultural Exploration\, which is funded by the Quebec Community Group Network’s Community Investment Fund. \nThis event is free and will be held over Zoom. Registration is necessary to receive the Zoom link. \nClick here to reserve your tickets

SUMMARY:Clutter / Collaborator: A Poster-Making Workshop with Lauren Prousky
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive workshop\, we will discuss how our things – our collections\, our prized possessions\, our family heirlooms and our clutter – inform our senses of self. This discussion will be framed around a celebration for our things and the ways in which they remind and commemorate the moments and people we hold dear. To accompany the discussion\, Lauren will guide participants in creating their own temporary\, found object sculptures from the “stuff” that make our spaces worth inhabiting. \nPlease note that this workshop requires participants to gather objects in their spaces\, so you may want to prepare accordingly if the space you are joining from is not your primary residence. Following the workshop\, participants will have the option to send an image of their sculpture to Lauren\, which will then be compiled into a free\, fold-out poster that will be sent to them in the weeks following the event (Canadian mailing addresses only). \nAbout the Artist:\nLauren Prousky is an artist\, curator\, writer\, and arts administrator based in Kitchener-Waterloo. She received her MFA from the University of Waterloo and her BFA from Concordia University in Studio Art and English Literature.

SUMMARY:Blut und Blintzes: A Yiddish Vampire Radio Play
DESCRIPTION:Do you like Yiddish? How about vampires? Have you re-watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer upwards of four times but wondered what it would be like if it took place in Montreal and the vampires were quirky Jewish girls who had a mediocre knowledge of Halachic law? \nSince you definitely answered yes to all of these questions\, come on down to the table read of Blut und Blintzes (Blood and Blintzes)\, a new in-development Yiddish radio play\, for a casual night of fun. The play follows Chayka Moskovitch\, a recently turned vampire in Montreal who struggles to square her Jewish identity with her newfound bloodlust-spoiler alert: blood definitely isn’t kosher! Filled with irreverent halachic musings and gags on Montreal weather\, Blut und Blintzes will answer the rabbis’ greatest questions\, fulfill every young Jewish girl’s vampiric dreams and do so with English subtitles. You’ll be murdered with laughter! \nThe table read of Part I of Blut und Blintzes will be introduced by director & playwright Rebecca Turner. Following the performance\, there will be a Q&A with Rebecca Turner and the cast. \nPlease note this event is free\, but with limited capacity – registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Click here to register through Eventbrite \nThis event is a part of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrant Program for Creative or Cultural Exploration\, which is funded by the Quebec Community Group Network’s Community Investment Fund.

SUMMARY:Dining at the Dairy Restaurant: A Discussion with Illustrator Ben Katchor

This event will be hosted by food historian Lara Rabinovitch. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to engage with our presenters in a Q&A. \nIf you’d like to get your own copy of The Dairy Restaurant ahead of the event\, you can purchase it in-store or online at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly. Attendees will receive 15% off for in-store and curbside purchases only — just tell them the Museum of Jewish Montreal sent you! \nClick here to purchase The Dairy Restaurant online from Librairie Drawn & Quarterly. \nThis event is presented in partnership with the Jewish Public Library\, Librairie Drawn & Quarterly\, and United Bakers Dairy Restaurant.

DESCRIPTION:The Triple F Kitchen is a collaborative online cooking workshop presented by good friends and collaborators\, J-Rob and Hoai-Nam Bui through the Museum of Jewish Montreal.

For her\, cooking Vietnamese food is a way to connect to the roots that her and her family have been a long time accustomed to. A taste of the homeland\, a connection they strive to keep. For him\, cooking foods connected to his Black and Jewish cultures has been a way to reclaim and reinvent traditional spaces that he doesn’t see himself represented in.

SUMMARY:A Gourmet City: A Virtual Benefit featuring Ruth Reichl and Adam Gollner
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, Jewish tradition has played a leading role in Montreal’s cultural identity. Whether it’s the tender sesame bagels or smoked meat on rye\, some of the city’s most iconic foods have strong and enduring Jewish roots. Since the Museum of Jewish Montreal began just over a decade ago\, we’ve striven to increase public appreciation of Montreal’s Jewish life and culture\, through such programs as our popular food workshops and tours. It is safe to say that we are a proud proponent of our city’s culinary conversation. \nIn March 2006 – ten years before the Museum opened our first physical location – Gourmet Magazine published an issue devoted to Montreal. Its pages showcased the city’s most beloved Jewish eateries in the Plateau and Mile End neighbourhoods: St-Viateur Bagels\, Schwartz’s Deli\, and Wilensky’s Light Lunch\, just to name a few. For the first time on such a scale\, culinary landmarks that were familiar to Montrealers were introduced to readers across the world in an issue that flew off newsstands everywhere. In what seemed like an instant\, Montreal became a culinary capital\, with Jewish delicacies at its core. \nTo celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of this momentous issue\, we will be joined with two prominent figures behind the publication: Gourmet’s former Editor-In-Chief\, Ruth Reichl\, as well as the issue’s guest editor and current Mile End resident\, Adam Gollner. Moderated by Lara Rabinovitch\, whose PhD research covered Montreal’s Jewish culinary history\, this panel will discuss what makes Montreal so special\, and how Jewish culture – and especially its food – makes it so unusual and so beloved. \nAll proceeds from this benefit will go towards the next year of cultural\, artistic\, and heritage programming at the Museum of Jewish Montreal. We are getting ready to launch an exciting new chapter of our Museum’s story\, filled with connection and creativity\, and led by young adults who are excited to create the future of Jewish life in Montreal. The future is happening here\, and we look forward to you joining us in this endeavour. \n\n\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKERS \n\n\nRuth Reichl is a food writer\, journalist\, and former Editor-in-Chief of Gourmet Magazine (1999-2009). Prior to that\, Ruth worked as a restaurant critic and food editor for the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times. She has authored five memoirs\, including Save Me the Plums (2019). Ruth edited Best American Food Writing 2018\, and The Modern Library Food Series. She was Executive Producer and host of the public television series\, Adventures with Ruth and a judge on Top Chef Masters. She is the recipient of six James Beard Awards.

SUMMARY:Red Light Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming back Professor Karen Herland for a special walking tour of Montreal’s historic Red Light District! \nSex work\, especially in its most visible forms\, tends to be recognized as a problem\, requiring intervention and eradication. As a major transportation hub and port city\, many sectors of Montreal’s economy were intertwined with the sex trade\, even as police and politicians manipulated social responses (positive and negative) to the presence of a thriving Red Light District. From Maimie Pinzer to Harry Ship and through to the present day\, this tour explores the social\, economic\, labour\, cultural\, racial\, and gender history of Montreal through its former Red Light. \nThis tour covers 150 years and 10 city blocks over 1.5-2 hours. \nThe tour begins on the southeast corner of Boulevard René Lévesque and Boulevard St. Laurent and ends near St. Laurent metro station. Please note that while the tour will be led in English\, questions can be asked and answered in French. \nTickets are $21 general admission and $10 for students. Please note that event capacity is limited to 20 participants – purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment! \n\n\nClick here to purchase tickets on Eventbrite. \nAll tour group participants must wear a mask for the duration of the walking tour and maintain social distancing.
