SUMMARY:Pathways: A Book Launch + Shiva with Sonia Bazar
DESCRIPTION:Dearly Beloved:\nImportant religious texts are often buried among people\, and sometimes given headstones. \nThis book is having a shiva. \nOn March 23\, we invite you with Sonia Bazar to come pay your respects to Pathways. \nPathways is a short self-published book of art and poetry. Pathways explores the physical and emotional space of Montreal’s oldest Jewish cemetery\, Back River. Over time\, a neighbourhood has encompassed it. The Back River Cemetery exists in distinct contrast to the Metro station\, gas station and one-star hotel that surround it. Black-and-white photos and maps ground the poems in the real world. Every cemetery contains many moments of grief. \nUsing the framework of Sheila Clark’s grief map\, poems move through different stages of grieving while focusing on the history of the cemetery and rituals of Jewish mourning. Pathways combines the personal and historical\, to create curiosity for this crumbling monument to Jewish life and death in Montreal.  \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. We also thank Violet Bakehouse and Talk Death for their partnership.  \nRegistration is encouraged ahead of time for this in-person event. Reserve your spot through Jlive here. The QR code attached to your ticket will be scanned upon entry.  \nMore Information:\nDress code: Please wear black.\nCopies of Pathways will be for sale for 15$ (Cash only).\nA reading and short eulogy will take place at 5:30pm. \nIn accordance with current restrictions\, this is a mask-on event. Free shiva-themed snacks will be available to take home. All food will be gluten- and dairy-free so even cousin David with the IBS\, and aunt Naomi with the Celiac will be able to enjoy themselves. \nLocation:\nViolet Bakehouse\, 2009 boul. Decarie (Vendôme metro). Please note that the venue is located three steps below ground level. It is not wheelchair accessible. \nAbout Sonia:\nMontreal-born and based. Sonia Bazar earned a BFA and MFA in Photography at Concordia University. Through sculpture\, photography and poetry\, their practice examines the notion of alien landscapes and how the body belongs to space. Their work has most recently been shown as part of a zine in “Repair Manuals and Cosmic Sounds. Self-publishing to heal the entire universe” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona in Barcelona\, Spain.

SUMMARY:Ladino Through Its Proverbs: A Workshop with Nesi Altaras
DESCRIPTION:Ladino is a language that brings together Spanish grammar with vocabulary and ideas from Hebrew\, Turkish\, French and various other languages of the Eastern Mediterranean. The joy and wisdom of this language is stored within its numerous\, colourful\, funny\, and often musical sayings and proverbs. There has recently been a wave of interest in this language and ways to engage in Sephardic culture in secular ways. \nOn February 23\, this interactive workshop will do just that! Join us with Montreal-based writer and language enthusiast Nesi Altaras as we learn about how Ladino developed\, why it declined\, and the efforts to revivify the language. Participants will learn about various sayings and proverbs – and hopefully guess a few with hints. Finally\, equipped with a word bank and a basic understanding of proverbs\, participants will be able to create and share their own sayings. This workshop will give you a taste of the Sephardic view of the world through Ladino proverbs and hopefully spark your interest to learn more. \nRegistration for this event is required ahead of time via JLive. Click here to reserve your spot.  \nAbout Nesi:\nFrom Istanbul\, Nesi Altaras is an editor of Avlaremoz\, a Jewish news platform in Turkish\, and recently graduated from McGill with a Master’s in Political Science. His writing in English\, Turkish\, and Ladino has been published in various platforms and he is currently translating a book from English to Turkish. Nesi enjoys learning languages\, talking about sayings and etymologies\, and listening to family stories. He currently lives in Montreal. \nTwitter: @nesialtaras\nInstagram: @nesialtaras \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:Needlework\, From Factory to Living Room: An Embroidery Workshop with Claire Sigal
DESCRIPTION:Needlework is woven into the fabric of Jewish art and culture. It is the fertile land of mysticism and creativity – just looking and reading doesn’t let you know why. On Sunday\, February 13\, join us with Claire Sigal as we practice and ponder the histories of Jewish needlework. \nComing from the ethos of Tikkun Olam (“mending the world”) and through a meditative approach to making\, Claire will share the histories of Jewish garment work and how so much creativity came from it – including her own great-grandmother\, who worked as a garment worker in Montreal. Participants are invited to engage in the embroidery\, but are equally invited to sit and listen as Claire shares with us this rich history. We will learn about the history of the garment workers’ union\, their literary and musical involvements\, as well as their communities and families in Montreal and beyond. \nNear the end of the evening\, a Q&A session will invite participants to share their curiosities with Claire\, who brings an inclusive knowledge of the Jewish garment industry and its associated cultural ties. \nA list of materials will be provided to registrants ahead of time for those who wish to join the stitch-along\, and an embroidery pattern prepared by Claire\, based on a piece of her great-grandmother’s needlework. \nRegistration is required ahead of time via JLive. Click here to reserve your spot.  \nAbout Claire:  \nClaire Sigal is a researcher and emerging artist from Montreal. She recently graduated with a BA in Art History from Concordia University. Claire’s work focuses on the overlapping of textiles and literature in different contexts\, including: needlework\, Jewish folk culture\, Yiddish music\, queerness\, womanhood\, and fashion history. Her writing has been published in Yiara\, CUJAH\, and other publications. In 2021\, Claire took part in an internship at the Center for Jewish Art (CJA) in Jerusalem. She is a part of the 2021-2022 Microgrant Cohort for Creative or Cultural Exploration at the Museum of Jewish Montreal\, from which this workshop has been developed. \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. We also thank The Jewish Public Library for their partnership.

SUMMARY:Chrismukkah Party: A Podcast Launch with Sarah Deshaies
DESCRIPTION:Season’s Greetings! This is a tale about two holidays\, celebrated by people of different faiths. But while Christmas and Chanukkah honour distinct events that happened thousands of years ago\, their close arrival in the early\, dark days of winter mean that many families end up twinning the two. With an increase in intermarriage in an ever-secular society\, some Jews are adding trees to their menorahs and are finding themselves singing carols. \nChrismukkah Party is a new\, festive podcast that delves into the rituals and traditions that interfaith families have created in order to celebrate together\, from Chrismukkah cocktails to December advent calendars to Magen David tree toppers. \nRegistration is required ahead of time on JLive. Click here to reserve your spot! The Zoom link will be sent to you via email upon registration.  \nOn January 26\, join us as host and producer Sarah Deshaies sits down with two of her guests\, Rabbi Denise Handlarski (Secular Synagogue) and Lauren Schreiber-Sasaki (Jewish&)\, to delve into the questions\, concerns and thoughts that shape how interfaith families carve out new traditions and meanings for holidays and life cycle events. How are Jewish organizations working to support interfaith individuals and families? And is it wrong to combine Christmas and Chanukkah? \nChrismukkah Party is created and hosted by Sarah Deshaies\, with the support of the Museum of Jewish Montreal. Sarah is a Montreal-based writer\, and morning show producer at CJAD 800\, and has celebrated Chanukkah and Christmas her whole life. \nWe thank the support of 18Doors and Jewish& for their partnership. \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:Around Montreal's Dining Table: A Discussion with Beautys Luncheonette and Restaurant Beba
DESCRIPTION:Along Boulevard St-Laurent and across Montreal\, many Jewish-owned restaurants have generously shared their creations with locals and visitors alike. How can restaurants old and new continue to tell the story of Jewish culture in the city?\n\n\nAt Beautys Luncheonette in the heart of the Plateau\, patrons are treated to breakfast favourites like the classic “Mish-Mash” omelette\, bagels & lox sandwiches\, or homemade pancakes. Since opening in 1942 in Montreal’s Jewish garment district\, Beautys has become a beloved family-owned staple\, now in its third generation. Down in Montreal’s southwestern neighbourhood of Verdun\, a newer restaurant shows us how diasporic traditions can be created with dishes that speak to layers of history and innovation. Restaurant Beba\, owned by brothers Ari and Pablo and opened in 2019\, focuses on Argentinian cuisine that uses flavours from the country’s Spanish and Italian communities\, altogether crafting a menu that is inspired by their global origins and the local culinary domain. \nOn October 4\, join us for a virtual roundtable discussion with Larry and Elana Sckolnick of Beautys Luncheonette\, and Ari Schor of Restaurant Beba. Moderated by food historian Lara Rabinovitch\, we will chat about how these restaurants – one that has been around for three generations and another for nearly three years – use their family’s traditions and personal experiences to bring light to contemporary Jewish cuisine and culture in Montreal. \nTo add to your experience\, all registrants will receive a discount on dine-in or takeout at both participating restaurants. More details to come upon registration and during the event. \nPLEASE NOTE: This event is free and registration is required ahead of time on JLive. Click here to register. You will receive a link to join this virtual event upon registration and before the event is scheduled to begin. \nWe thank the support of the Nussia and Andre Aisenstadt Foundation\, the Jewish Community Foundation\, and Federation CJA for making this event possible. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKERS: \nLarry Sckolnick:\nHymie ”Beauty” and Freda Sckolnick took over the Bancroft Stationery Store in 1942 and quickly grew it into a popular neighbourhood coffee shop. Their son Larry joined them in the business in the late 1960s and developed the coffee shop into Beauty’s Luncheonette. Under Larry’s guidance\, Beauty’s has become a Montreal institution\, famous around the world for the quality and authenticity of its food and its warm and welcoming ambience. \nElana Sckolnick runs Beautys Luncheonette alongside her father Larry and her sister Julie. After graduating from McGill University\, Elana spent more than ten years working in marketing and philanthropic development. She joined the family business in 2005 for the unique opportunity to work with her father and grandfather Hymie\, and is proud to continue her family’s passion for food and hospitality into the next generation. \nAri Schor is the chef and co-owner of Restaurant Beba. Born in Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, Ari moved with his family to Winnipeg\, Manitoba at age 13 and\, soon after\, at age 16\, began working in kitchens. After moving to Montreal in 2012\, he spent six years as the chef de cuisine at Liverpool House\, part of the Joe Beef group of restaurants. In 2019\, Ari left Liverpool House to open Restaurant Beba with his brother\, Pablo. Beba is the culmination of all of Ari and Pablo’s experiences with food\, both in fine dining and around the family table. Ari lives in Montreal with his wife\, Ashley\, and daughter\, Isabel. \nLara Rabinovitch is a writer and specialist in Jewish food history. Her PhD covered Romanian immigration to New York City and Montreal\, and she has since consulted for a variety of companies and organizations such as Google and the Skirball Cultural Center In Los Angeles\, where she is Co-Curator of the upcoming national exhibition on the history and culture of Jewish delicatessen. She was a producer on the Sundance/IFC film “City of Gold\,” about the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Jonathan Gold\, and you can also find Lara’s writing in the Los Angeles Times\, Saveur magazine\, the Globe & Mail and other media outlets.

SUMMARY:Moving Together: A Contemporary Dance Workshop with Naomi Gwynn
DESCRIPTION:On August 31 from 6:30 – 8:30pm\, Naomi Gwynn will be joined by Horizons Collectif (Lou Salem and Adele Ross) to host a 2-hour contemporary movement and creation workshop open to all levels! This workshop\, hosted at Espace 215\, will focus heavily on sensory-based movement research and utilize choreographic and improvisation tools to search for new pathways\, opportunities\, and avenues to bring movement into and through the body. Participants are not expected to have any background in dance or movement. \nThe intention is to foster an environment and experience that will allow participants to easily access and engage with movement at their own pace\, to feel comfortable in their bodies\, as well as to feel inspired and equipped with new tools and a lens for continued engagement with movement\, dance\, choreography\, and self-expression. \nIn the spirit of the Tikkun Olam framework – a concept within Judaism that emphasizes the power of small acts of service and kindness – the intention with this workshop is to foster a sense of inspiration\, safety and community through the platform and medium of dance/movement. Tikkun Olam will be a thematic focus that will serve as a conceptual guide and source of inspiration for the creative exploration and movement research in the workshop. \nNaomi will lead participants through stretching and warm-up techniques and introduce some contemporary movement fundamentals. Following this\, the second half of the workshop will focus on the creative process. Participants will be introduced to improvisation techniques through task-based work\, simple sequencing\, and phrase work\, and will explore how these tools can be utilized to fuel creation and develop choreography. \nRegister for Tickets Here \nMEET THE ARTISTS: \nNaomi Gwynn is a dance artist and social/cultural worker whose interest is in how movement connects us – to our bodies\, music\, space\, our environment\, as well as to social discourse\, and to each other. In 2019 she completed Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company’s International Dance Journey Program in Northern Israel\, and in 2019-2020 she was a member of Cobos Mika’s Junior company in Palamos\, Spain. Naomi has showcased choreographic work and participated in numerous performances within Canada\, Israel\, and Europe. \nIn her work\, Naomi explores how the unique features of dance can be harnessed to facilitate community building; through the shared creative experience\, complete with risk-taking\, negotiation\, collaboration\, and participation towards a common goal (often a performance). \nLearn more about Naomi here. \nHorizons is a Montreal-based dance collective co-founded by Lou Amsellem and Adèle Ross in 2020. Through their choreographic projects\, they aim to explore risks\, listening\, and physicality linked to objects in space. \nLearn more about Horizons here. \nPLEASE NOTE: This event will be in-person and hosted at Espace 215\, located at 215 rue Jean-Talon O.

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. Ruth’s most recent project is a documentary about the many ways the pandemic has altered the food landscape. \nAdam Gollner is the author of The Book of Immortality\, The Fruit Hunters and Working in the Bathtub. The former Montreal correspondent for Gourmet\, his writing appears in The New York Times\, The Paris Review\, Vanity Fair\, The Smithsonian\, GQ\, and The New Yorker online. He lives in the Mile End neighbourhood of Montreal. \nLara Rabinovitch\, PhD\, is a writer and consultant with deep roots in Montreal.

SUMMARY:Triple F Kitchen: A Cooking Workshop with J-Rob and Hoai Nam
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. The Triple F Kitchen stands for Friendship\, Fusion\, Food. Hoai-Nam and J-Rob were two roommates in Montreal from different backgrounds\, J-Rob being Black and Jewish\, Hoai-Nam being Vietnamese-American. They both have a differing relationship with their identity\, this also resonates with the way they connect with food. 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. A taste of a home that he is working to create\, a connection that he is striving to build.\n\nFor this edition of Triple F Kitchen J-Nam will be revealing and demonstrating their recipe for a Jerk Brisket Spring Roll! The first 20 to register will also have the option to receive a flyer to memorialize the event that will include Triple F’s new graphic\, the recipe and back story of J-Rob and Hoai-Nam’s venture into creating the Triple F Kitchen!\n\nClick Here to reserve your tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\nAn ingredient list for the workshop will be sent out to attendees via Eventbrite 1 week before the event\, and again 2 days before the event.

SUMMARY:Dining at the Dairy Restaurant: A Discussion with Illustrator Ben Katchor
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the nineteenth century\, dairy restaurants were among the most important culinary establishments for the Jewish diaspora across North America and Europe. They served blintzes\, pastries with cheese\, and other vegetarian delicacies.

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.

SUMMARY:Musictopia Cornucopia: An Album Launch and Concert with Dvir Cahana
DESCRIPTION:After releasing a song each week for the past year\, it is about time that Dvir Cahana releases his album to the public. Dvir bases each song on a weekly reflection of what is going on in the world around us\, and pulls from the weekly Torah portion as a jumping-off point for these opinion pieces. \nThis won’t be your run-of-the-mill concert experience!

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.

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: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: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. The Museum of Jewish Montreal would like to thank the Morris and Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation\, and the Community Innovation Fund for their generous support of this program. The Community Innovation Fund is financed in part by the Government of Canada’s Social Development Partnerships Program –Children and Families Component and is part of the Action Plan for Official Languages –2018-2023: Investing in Our Future. The fund is managed by the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN).\n— \nnaakita feldman-kiss is a queer artist and writer of mixed roots based in Montreal.

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. 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
