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:A Pickling Workshop: Stories of Food Preservation
DESCRIPTION:How can our food preservation practices connect us to one another? 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.
