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. Faciltiated the Museum’s curatorial team and by Karl\, this guided workshop will consist of a guided exhibition tour\, followed by several structured writing exercises from Karl’s zine. \nThe workshop will run from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Tickets are $18 each\, which includes one copy of the zine and all necessary materials. Pre-registration for this workshop is required for all who wish to attend. Capacity is limited so please register early to avoid disappointment. \nClick here to reserve your spot. \nAn earlier edition of this writing workshop\, and its accompanying publication\, was initially produced with support from the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrant Program for Creative or Cultural Production in February 2024. \nAbout Karl Ponthieux Stern: \nKarl is a Montreal-based writer\, trans gay activist\, and history student. 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. The writing workshop will primarily take place on the ground level\, but the exhibition tour will take place on the third floor which is accessible via stairwell.

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. She currently works at Santropol Roulant on the Meals on Wheels team\, and spends her free time DJing and learning more about Jewish herbalism traditions in hopes of integrating her Jewish heritage with her love for plants and accessible healthcare. \nAccessibility: Please note that the upper levels of our building are not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This workshop will take place on the ground level\, accessible by ramp.

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.

SUMMARY:Chapbook Launch: Minder by Madelaine Caritas Longman
DESCRIPTION:Poetry presents a unique opportunity to tap into our inner experiences and better understand ourselves and each other. In acknowledging differences yet bringing people together\, poems can offer a window into nuanced experiences of spirituality\, cultural identity\, neurodiversity\, mental health\, and the intricate relationships between these.

What might community mean to a person on the autism spectrum? How can we hold space for the many possibilities of what neurodiversity\, Judaism\, and poetry can be? \nJoin us at 7:00 pm at the Museum of Jewish Montreal for an evening of poetry\, food and drink\, and stimulating discussion. \nPlease note that pre-registration is required for all who wish to attend.

SUMMARY:Jewish Herbalism: Our Roots and Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered about the connections between plants and Jewish rituals? \nTo kick off spring\, join us with Celia Robinovitch for an interactive workshop about Jewish herbalism. A part of our Microgrant Program for Creative or Cultural Exploration\, this workshop will look at the plants central to Jewish traditions\, culture\, and healing methods. This interactive workshop will give participants a chance to play with (and take home!) a colorful variety of dried herbs and spices while learning about their historical uses in Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish communities. \nHerbalism grants people the knowledge and tools to utilize natural resources in their local environment to support their health and wellness. Sharing information about Jewish plant rituals and historic herbal traditions is particularly important for Jews in the diaspora because it grants us tools to reclaim ancestral practices and connect with the local environment\, thus fostering community resilience and bodily sovereignty for a people who have a long history of exile\, persecution and cultural erasure. \nParticipants will each create besamim pouches\, an aromatic container used during the Havdalah service\, using herbs that are traditionally significant in Jewish culture\, medicine and rituals. This activity is child-friendly\, and open to all ages! \nPlease note that this event is free and capacity is limited. Pre-registration is required for all who wish to attend. Click here to reserve your ticket.  \nABOUT CELIA: \nCelia Robinovitch is a Montreal-based social worker\, herbalist and DJ.

SUMMARY:Doikayt\, On Being Here and Loving It: A Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Not tired yet of the back-and-forth thinking about what it means to be Jewish? Looking for connections with other “not Jewish enough\,” “Jew-ish\,” or “WIP” Jews? Well\, this writing workshop might be just what you need. \nFacilitated by Karl Ponthieux Stern\, one of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s (MJM) microgrant recipients\, Doikayt\, on being here and loving it is an interactive writing workshop dedicated to the complexities of navigating diasporic Jewishness. Meaning “hereness” or “diasporism\,” the Yiddish term doikayt refers to how Jewish communities are strengthened wherever they may be. Centred upon creating a community around the idea of “hereness” and sharing our experiences on Jewish Montreal\, participants will discover Karl´s zine\, and will be invited to participate in writing activities. The workshop will include some time to share our writing and/or experiences. Karl’s zine is written in English\, but since Karl is a native French speaker\, this event will be bilingual. Join us with Karl for an evening of thinking\, fun\, and community. \nThe workshop will run from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Snacks and tea will be provided\, as well as a free copy of the zine for each participant. Pre-registration for this workshop is required for all who wish to attend. Limited capacity\, so please register early to avoid disappointment. \nClick here to reserve your free spot. \nABOUT KARL: \nKarl is a Montreal-based writer\, trans gay activist\, and history student. 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. They sometimes bridge all the sides of themselves in cross-stitching embroideries that they showcase along with their partner’s artwork on @gertyshop. \nKarl holds a degree in History from the University of Paris Nanterre (2022). Their M.A. thesis at Concordia University focuses on an Oral History of the ExisTransInter\, a yearly demonstration led by trans activists since 1997. Karl currently serves on the Mile End Chavurah´s board of directors. \nThis is an independent project developed through the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrants for Creative and Cultural Exploration Program. This program is made possible through the support of the Averbach Family Foundation\, the Morris and Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation\, Federation CJA’s Working Together Grant\, The Azrieli Foundation\, and CANVAS.

SUMMARY:Soul Candles: Ancestral Practice and Candle Crafting
DESCRIPTION:On February 18\, join us for a candle-making workshop that explores participatory ritual\, tradition\, and ancestral connection. \nFacilitated by artist Sof Kreidstein\, this creative workshop is focused on the old Ashkenazi custom of making soul candles out of beeswax. This centuries-old practice\, called feldmestn (Yiddish) was carried out by women in Eastern Europe who would measure the graves of their ancestors with wick thread\, making candles as a connective channel between the dead and the living. \nDuring the workshop\, guests will learn all about this ancestral practice\, and will be invited to engage in open discussion about themes related to ancestral connection. Guests will also be encouraged to consider the thematic overlaps between this workshop and our ongoing exhibition\, BACK RIVER by Sonia Bazar\, which contemplates loss and memory in the context of Montreal’s Back River Cemetery. \nAll participants will come away with a hand-made beeswax candle (or a few!)\, incorporating a wick imbued with intention\, as well as a candleholder made from a found object. Guests are encouraged to bring a stone for their candleholder\, but we will have extras provided. \nTickets to this workshop are $30 plus tax\,. and include all materials needed to make the candle. Pre-registration is required for all who wish to attend. Capacity is limited\, so sign up early to avoid disappointment. \nClick here to reserve your spot.  \nABOUT SOF: \nSof Kreidstein is an interdisciplinary artist and facilitator\, who creates/transforms through object making\, installation art\, performance\, poetry\, digital media\, and socially engaged projects. Their multifaceted practice is guided by interconnections in nature\, queer ritual\, Jewish mysticism and folklore\, neurodivergent intuition\, and intergenerationality. Sof is based in Tkaronto\, having recently moved back from Kjipuktuk where they lived during and following their time at NSCAD (BFA 2022). \nTheir work has evolved through solo and collaborative exhibitions\, land-based projects\, and public art festivals. As a facilitator and organizer\, their work is centred around queer and trans Jewish community and youth\, and cultivating accessible spaces for creative expression. Sof is driven to nurture growth through connection\, care\, and curiosity. \nACCESSIBILITY: Please note that the upper levels of our building are not currently accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This workshop will take place on the ground level. Our exhibition space is located on the upper levels.
