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! We want to make this as much of a two-way conversation as possible\, so each song will be prefaced with a thoughtful question\, and throughout the duration of each song\, we will be moderating a group discussion. We extend a special thank-you to our promotional partner\, Moishe House Harlem. \nRegistration is required via Eventbrite to participate in this event.\nYou will receive a link to join the Zoom meeting shortly before the performance begins. \nAbout Dvir:\nDvir is a Jewish-content singer-songwriter with seven albums and a passion for promoting Jewish identity through lively concerts and experiential creative Shabbat retreats. Currently\, Dvir is a first year rabbinical student at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah in New York. Born in Sweden\, he received an M.A. in Jewish Studies in 2020 from McGill University. He was the McGill representative for the Jewish Studies Graduate Students Consortium\, organizing and presenting at the “Judaism in the Social Sciences and Humanities Colloquium.” Dvir founded the Moishe House in Montreal and is continuing to build Jewish community at the Moishe House in Harlem. Dvir has held numerous fellowships\, including the Bronfman Youth Fellowship in Israel\, 2011\, Drisha Summer Fellowship\,2020\, and currently is a LABA Arts Fellow at the 14th Street Y and a CLAL LTIFellow.

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: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: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

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: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:Virtual Hanukkah Cooking Class - Sweet Ricotta Latkes
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:Zine-Making Workshop with Joey Ramona & Jess Goldman
DESCRIPTION:Join tattoo artist Joey Ramona and writer Jess Goldman for a zine-making workshop hosted by the Museum of Jewish Montreal! \nThis will be an interactive workshop over Zoom that\, though online\, will encourage us to be in our bodies and be present in our creative processes in the context of a virtual community. Joey and Jess will be teaching basic\, accessible methods of zine-making – all are welcome from zine-making veterans to first-time chapbookers! \n\n\nTogether we will learn how to make a one-sheet zine\, but also gain inspiration by exploring the wide variety of styles\, topics\, and aesthetics of zines – from text-based to image-based to collage and much more. All participants are encouraged to join in with supplies scavenged from home and/or the dollar store. Joey and Jess will also share their own creative processes\, and participants will be given the opportunity to meet other participants and share what they have created in breakout rooms at the end of the workshop (though not sharing is totally fine too!).\n\n\nWe hope you can join us for a fun\, creative evening\, to enjoy some community connection\, even if it might be through a screen! And remember\, finished products are not at all required: think process not product! \nAbout Jess & Joey \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJess Goldman (she/her) is a queer Jewish white settler writer from Tkaronto (Toronto) who is currently based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). Her writing has been published in the CBC\, Room Magazine\, and Plasma Dolphin\, among others.

You can see what she’s up to @yentlthewriter. \nJess developed a chapbook version of SCHMUTZ under the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrant Program for Creative and Cultural exploration. Check it out here! \nJoey Ramona (they/them) is a multi-disciplinary artist from Toronto\, Ontario\, specializing in tattooing. They have been tattooing professionally for 13 years\, and graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2011 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. As well as tattooing\, Joey maintains a steady painting practice\, and has recently ventured into making Judaica\, like kippot and mezuzah covers. They also make zines and other DIY literature\, and their work has been featured in Jewish Currents\, Hey Alma\, and Inside Out. \nJoey is the first featured artist of the Museum’s 2020-2021 contemporary art cycle Permanence\, for which they developed a new zine publication\, New Ways of Worship\, on Jewish Queer identity\, celebrating Yiddishkeit\, and tattooing. \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. \nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom. Please register in advance by clicking this link.

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 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: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: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:Digital Diasporas with Sophia Hirsch and Johannes Mundinger

Due to the COVID19 pandemic and related travel restrictions\, we had to postpone Sophia and Johannes’ exhibition and mural until 2021. \nJoin us August 26th at 3pm on Zoom for an introduction to their collaborative artistic practice\, and what new projects they have been working on in these uncertain times. \nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom.  \nPlease register in advance by clicking here this link.
