SUMMARY:theatre dybbuk at MJM | The Villainy You Teach: Performance Art Piece
DESCRIPTION:theatre dybbuk and the Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) proudly present the Canadian premiere of The Villainy You Teach\, a performance art piece inspired by a Shakespearian text. \nThe character of Shylock in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice has long been a source of debate. Some have argued that his is an antisemitic portrait with long-lasting effects on the perception of Jews in our world\, while others have stated that the character is a nuanced portrayal that\, especially given the time and place of his creation\, is empathetic to his plight. Often\, at the centre of this debate is found a speech in which Shylock proclaims his humanity while defending his vengeful desires. \nIn The Villainy You Teach\, theatre dybbuk explodes this famous speech and\, through the use of heightened theatricality and repetition\, investigates the ways in which language can both take on a wide variety of meanings and lose all meaning through persistent examination and exposure. \nAudience members are invited to witness an actor perform this brief speech repeatedly over the course of most of the length of the play\, reciting it dozens\, if not hundreds\, of times. This action is accompanied by a simultaneous performed reading of Merchant in its entirety – its words acting as the container within which Shylock’s speech exists. Audience members can stay in the space for the duration of the (approximately) two hour and thirty minute performance or they can come and go\, engaging with the event in the manner that they choose. \nAdmission to The Villainy You Teach is FREE. A suggested donation of $8 is welcomed upon entry. Early registration is appreciated for all who wish to attend. Click here to reserve your spot. \nAccessibility: Please note that our building is currently not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This performance will take place on multiple levels. \nAbout theatre dybbuk \nFounded in 2011 and based in Los Angeles\, theatre dybbuk creates provocative performances and innovative educational encounters that explore Jewish thought to illuminate universal human experience. theatre dybbuk envisions a world where people challenge themselves to revel in the complexity of our shared humanity. \nFrom November 14-18\, 2024\, the Museum of Jewish Montreal is welcoming theatre dybbuk to its space for a presentation of live theatrical performances and other public programs. Click here to learn more about the residency. \nThis program is made possible with thanks to the support of the Covenant Foundation.

SUMMARY:theatre dybbuk at MJM | Dracula (Annotated)
DESCRIPTION:theatre dybbuk and the Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) proudly present the inaugurual Canadian performance of Dracula (Annotated)\, based on Bram Stoker’s classic novel. \nHow do long-held prejudicial beliefs show up in a popular novel from England written at the turn of the 20th century\, and in what ways do those beliefs still operate today? To what extent can perceptions of antisemitism\, racism\, and xenophobia be deemed as accurate and true\, and how much is in the eye of the beholder? \nIn theatre dybbuk’s next project\, the company investigates Bram Stoker’s Dracula\, weaving together its unique blend of historical investigation and heightened theatricality to create a new work from the core of the novel. This is the second in a series of “Annotated” productions in which the company explores classic or well-known and culturally influential works to disrupt more familiar or comfortable ways of engaging with them. \nTickets are $18 for general admission\, or $12 for students. Bundled tickets for theatre dybbuk’s other seated performance at the Museum of Jewish Montreal\, The Merchant of Venice (Annotated) are also available at the reduced rates of $30 for general admission\, or $20 for students. If ticket cost is a barrier to entry\, please contact info@imjm.ca. Seating available on a first come\, first served basis. Click here to reserve your spot. \nThis will be a seated reading of the script\, with a run time of approximately 90 minutes\, followed by a 30-minute discussion following the reading. Following the discussion\, the audience is invited to speak more with the ensemble about this work in-process\, and to enjoy some refreshments from our bar (payable by card only). \nAccessibility: Please note that our building is currently not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This performance will take place on the ground level. \nAbout theatre dybbuk \nFounded in 2011 and based in Los Angeles\, theatre dybbuk creates provocative performances and innovative educational encounters that explore Jewish thought to illuminate universal human experience. theatre dybbuk envisions a world where people challenge themselves to revel in the complexity of our shared humanity. \nFrom November 14-18\, 2024\, the Museum of Jewish Montreal is welcoming theatre dybbuk to its space for a presentation of live theatrical performances and other public programs. Click here to learn more about the residency. \nThis program is made possible with thanks to the support of the Covenant Foundation.

SUMMARY:theatre dybbuk at MJM | The Merchant of Venice (Annotated)\, or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad
DESCRIPTION:theatre dybbuk and the Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) proudly present the inaugural Canadian performance of The Merchant of Venice (Annotated)\, or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad. \nWritten and directed by Aaron Henne and developed with the ensemble of theatre dybbuk\, this performance considers William Shakespeare’s classic work\, The Merchant of Venice\, through its relationship to antisemitism and other prejudices in our world today. What perceived truths does a play reveal about the society in which it was created\, and what ideas within that society does it reinforce? \nShakespeare likely wrote The Merchant of Venice between 1596 and 1598\, only a few years after plague had temporarily closed London’s theatres. This was a period of great uncertainty in English society\, with ongoing conflicts taking their toll\, concerns about the government’s stability under an aging leader\, and significant economic stresses. The anxieties associated with these societal pressures can perhaps be seen in Merchant in its portrayal of Shylock\, the Jewish moneylender. Bringing together elements of Merchant with Elizabethan history and news from the 21st century\, The Merchant of Venice (Annotated)\, or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad takes a kaleidoscopic view of the ways in which members of a society displace their fears on the “other” during times of upheaval. \nIntroducing the performance and providing additional historical context the will be Paul Yanchin\, Professor of Shakespeare Studies (McGill University). \nThe run time is approximately 90 minutes\, followed by a discussion with the audience. This performance will take the form of a seated live reading of the script. Refreshments will be available at our bar\, payable by card only. \nTickets are $18 for general admission\, or $12 for students. Bundled tickets for theatre dybbuk’s other seated performance at the Museum of Jewish Montreal\, Dracula (Annotated) are also available at the reduced rates of $30 for general admission\, or $20 for students.

Can food preservation teach us anything about food justice\, and vice versa? \nJoin us to take part in the Jewish tradition of pickling with an interactive workshop co-hosted by Mazon Canada and The Wandering Chew. Kat Romanow (Co-Founder\, The Wandering Chew) will lead guests into making their own pickles as we explore the history of Jewish pickling. With the team from Mazon Canada\, we’ll explore themes of food preservation and food security\, understanding the roles of food preservation across cultures\, climates\, and generations. \nEach guest will prepare and go home with one jar of sauerkraut and one jar of preserved lemons. Guests will also be able to take home printed copies of each recipe\, so you can make them again or share them with loved ones. Following our hard work\, guests will be welcome to enjoy a beverage from our bar (not included in ticket price\, paid by card only) and schmooze. \nTickets are $25\, including all workshop materials. Capacity is limited\, so register early to avoid disappointment. Click here to reserve your spot. \nAbout Our Partners: \nMazon Canada is a grassroots community foundation that mobilizes our Jewish community to act on Canadian food security issues – and supports people of all ages\, ethnicities\, faiths and abilities in accessing the healthy\, nutritious food they need to thrive. \nThe Wandering Chew preserves and revitalizes Jewish food traditions. At our events\, we tell the history behind beloved Jewish food. Some recipes may be more familiar\, such as bagels and smoked meat\, and some may be less well known\, such as Gefilte a la Veracruzana from the Mexican-Jewish community and Iraqi-Jewish sambusaks dipped in amba. Our events will introduce you to the vast world of Jewish cuisine.

SUMMARY:Red Light Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our last Red Light Tour of 2024 with Karen Herland!\nCome learn about Montreal’s historic Red Light District and its most infamous figures. \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. Please note that while the tour will be led in English\, questions may be asked and answered in French. \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. Please ignore the listed address of 1111 Boulevard St. Laurent as this is only an approximation of our starting point.  \nTICKETS:\nAdults: $25\nStudents: $13\nAges 65+: $23\nAges 13-17: $13\nAges 8-12: $8\nAges 0-7: Free \n\nClick here to reserve your spot.  \n\nWeather Policy: In the event of light rain\, the tour will go on as scheduled. If there is a strong warning of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms\, the tour will be postponed. All registrants will have the option to attend the rescheduled tour. \n\nRead less

SUMMARY:The Places Before You: A Writing Workshop and Exhibition Tour
DESCRIPTION:How does a place become more meaningful once it’s left behind?\nHow do we make sense of memories that are not entirely our own? \nOn September 10\, please join us for The Places Before You\, a writing workshop and guided exhibition tour. Rooted in notions of place\, identity\, and the diaspora\, this interactive writing workshop will explore overlapping topics found in our ongoing exhibition The Past Is Before You by Arnie Lipsey and Doikayt\, On Being Here and Loving It\, a zine produced by Karl Ponthieux Stern. Meaning “hereness” or “diasporism\,” the Yiddish term doikayt refers to how Jewish communities may be strengthened wherever they are.

They started their research activities way before university\, by documenting medical violence against women\, trans men\, and non-binary people in France. They also led a self-educated research on Jewish Women in leftist organizations\, for the revolutionary Jewish organization JJR. Karl´s hunger for knowledge\, social justice\, and Jewish culture has made them passionate about Yiddish revival and secular Jewish culture. \nKarl holds a degree in History from the University of Paris Nanterre (2022). Their MA thesis at Concordia University focuses on an Oral History of the ExisTransInter\, a yearly demonstration led by trans activists since 1997. In September 2024\, Karl will begin their PhD in History at Concordia University. \nAccessibility: Please note that our building is currently not accessible to visitors with limited mobility.

SUMMARY:Jewish Love Potions: Herbalism Workshop for Tu B’Av
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Tu B’Av – the Jewish day of love – by learning how to make your own love potion! \nThe workshop will celebrate the ancestral plant traditions and recipes associated with Tu B’Av\, a holiday that comes in late summer\, during the grape harvest\, and has traditionally been a day of matchmaking\, wine-making\, and ritual. We will make “love potions” in the form of oxymels – mixtures of herbally infused honey and vinegar. Together\, we will learn about the herbs that have connections in Jewish culture to the heart\, strength\, and romance traditions. Participants will take home their own mixture of herbs that they can infuse or gift as they wish.  \nTickets are $18 each\, and include all workshop materials. Please note that capacity is limited. Reserve your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. \nClick here to reserve your spot. \nFacilitated by Celia\, an alumni of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrant Program\, this workshop is a space to explore the ways that plants are central to Jewish traditions\, folk practices\, healing methods\, stories and symbols. By continuing to share her research about ancestral plant wisdom\, Celia hopes to increase the resources available that make understanding and connecting with Jewish plant rituals and folk medicine accessible\, which is particularly important for Jewish people\, the majority of whom live in diasporic communities and have a long history of exile\, persecution and cultural erasure. Herbalism grants people the knowledge and tools to utilize natural resources in their local environment to support their health and wellness. \nAbout Celia: \nCelia Robinovitch is a Montreal-based social worker\, herbalist and DJ. She holds a bachelor’s in social work from McGill and is a graduate of the City Herbal Apprenticeship Program. Celia has worked extensively in community outreach\, harm reduction\, and urban agriculture.

SUMMARY:Red Light Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Red Light Tour with Karen Herland! Come learn about Montreal’s historic Red Light District and its most infamous figures. \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. \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. Please note that while the tour will be led in English\, questions may be asked and answered in French. \nTICKETS:\nAdults: $25\nStudents: $13\nAges 65+: $23\nAges 13-17: $13\nAges 8-12: $8\nAges 0-7: Free \nClick here to reserve your spot.  \nWeather Policy: In the event of light rain\, the tour will go on as scheduled. If there is a strong warning of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms\, the tour will be postponed. All registrants will have the option to attend the rescheduled tour.

SUMMARY:Vernissage | The Past Is Before You
DESCRIPTION:How can exploring a family archive transform our understanding of the collective present? The Past Is Before You by Montreal-born artist Arnie Lipsey explores this question by considering how memories can be examined\, reimagined and even uplifted\, shedding new light on the artist’s personal history. \nAn exercise in catharsis\, Lipsey’s paintings forgo linear time\, choosing instead to collapse the past\, present\, and future. Each work begins with an archival family photograph\, and branches out into thematic explorations of war\, survival\, immigration\, family life\, as well as leisure. Lipsey’s paintings depict everyday Jewish life in Eastern Europe and Montreal from his family’s vantage point\, highlighting stories transmitted across generations that are simultaneously loving\, comforting\, humorous\, and haunting. \nOn June 27\, please join us for a celebratory vernissage of The Past Is Before You. We welcome you to immerse yourselves in the surrealist worlds within Lipsey’s vibrant compositions. \nOpening remarks from the artist and our curatorial team will take place at 8:00 pm. Complimentary refreshments will be available\, and our bar (payable by card only) will be open with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options. We invite guests to stay later into the evening with live music by our DJ. \nKindly note that advanced registration is required for all who wish to attend. Click here to reserve your spot.  \nAbout Arnie: \nThe son of European-Jewish immigrants\, Arnie Lipsey was born and raised in Montreal\, and is a graduate from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts School of Art and Design\, majoring in Film Animation. After working for a period in the nascent Israeli animation industry\, he relocated to Toronto in 1978 where he had a decades-long career in animation for film and television. Working in the classical mode (as director\, animator\, designer\, and storyboard artist) using pencil and paper\, he later made a successful transition to digital technologies. Arnie augmented his commercial work with independent filmmaking\, producing two animated shorts that have been screened internationally. \nIn 2018\, he returned to his early artistic discipline: painting. He has exhibited and won awards in juried exhibitions and curated group shows in Ontario and Florida\, and participated as an arts grants juror in St. Petersburg. \nImage: Look Out\, Arnie Lipsey.
