Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm    New York City, NY; NYC

Book Discussion | The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing
To New York journalists, Adam Moss (award-winning former editor of New York and The New York Times Magazine) is known as the "Editor of his Generation." When he retired from journalism in 2019, he turned to painting -- but found himself frustrated by the struggle known as "the creative process". To better understand the difficult steps which may lie between a dashed-off sketch and a finished canvas, Moss began to do in-depth interviews about talent, persistence, and inspiration with creatives of all kinds--from Stephen Sondheim to Roz Chast, from filmmaker Sofia Coppola to chef Samin Nosrat. These extraordinary conversations form the basis for Moss' bestselling book, presented here in multimedia form, followed by an author interview.    New York City, NY; NYC

Opera | State of the Jews: World Premiere Opera About Theodor Herzl (in-person and online)

In her new book, she paints a portrait of a woman embracing the prime of her life by bucking the narrative about women and aging. She chats with Zibby Owens about outdated myths, refusing to recede into the shadows and writing your own midlife story.    New York City, NY; NYC

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm    New York City, NY; NYC

Film | Dick Tracy (1990) Directed by Warren Beatty, Starring Warren Beatty, Madonna, and Al Pacino
Detective Dick Tracy is looking to prove that Alphonse Big Boy Caprice is the city's most dangerous crime boss. When he meets Breathless Mahoney, a ballroom singer who has witnessed Caprice's crimes firsthand, he may finally have a chance at destroying the crimelord's illegal empire. But Mahoney seems more interested in stealing Dick from his girlfriend Tess, rather than helping him solve the case. Director: Warren Beatty Cast: Warren Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino Warren Beatty is an American actor and filmmaker credited with ushering in New Hollywood in the late 1960s. Beatty's career has spanned over six decades, and he has been nominated for 14 Academy Awards, including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture, two for Best Director, three for Original Screenplay, and one for Adapted Screenplay - winning Best Director for Reds (1981).

Discussion | Zionism in America (in-person and online)
When they heard about Theodor Herzl's bold proclamations about the "Jewish people" and the "Jewish homeland," American Jewish leaders scoffed. But as a growing number of immigrants from Eastern Europe crossed the Atlantic, memories of pogroms fresh in their minds and unconvinced that America would turn out to be Zion, the antipathy began shifting until Zionism became a central facet of American Jewish identity and life. Three prominent scholars will discuss the reasons behind the early hostility to Herzl's ideas, how these views shifted and the challenges Zionism faces within our community today. With: Dr. Anita Shapira, Founder of the Yitzhak Rabin Center and winner of the Israel Prize. Dr. Jonathan Sarna, Director of the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies and the Joseph H. and Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History at Brandeis University. Dr. Mark Raider, professor of Modern Jewish History at the University of Cincinnati. Moderated by Russell F.

Film | October H8TE (2024): The New Iteration of the Oldest Hatred, with Debra Messing
The documentary looks at the emergence of anti-Semitism on college campuses, in social media and on the streets since October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel. Almost immediately after the Hamas massacre of October 7, the world pivoted into a dystopian nightmare with the narrative rewritten, turning murderers into freedom fighters and victims into aggressors. Ivy League presidents refused to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews as violations of their campuses' codes of conduct. The sexual assault and rape of Israeli women was ignored, dismissed, even denied. And a tsunami of online antisemitism followed. How did we get to this moment, when "Hamas in America" became not a right-wing talking point but a reality manifesting itself from Cambridge to Los Angeles? The new documentary film October H8TE seeks to answer that question by examining intersectionality, why social justice activists align themselves with reactionary organizations, the influence of funding and messaging linked to Hamas and the "curious" amount of antisemitic content flooding social media linked to Iranian, Russian and Chinese IP addresses. The film's message is simple: Jewish or not, you need to care about this latest wave of antisemitism because Jews and Israel aren't its only targets: The mobs shouting "Globalize the Intifada" are, ultimately, attacking truth, democracy and a free society. The film includes interviews with Debra Messing, Michael Rapaport, Mosab Yousef (son of Hamas's cofounder), Sheryl Sandberg, US Representative Ritchie Torres, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, US Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, Dan Senor, Noa Tishby, Bari Weiss and Douglas Murray. After the screening, we will be joined for a discussion with its director, Wendy Sachs, and Debra Messing, the film's executive producer.    New York City, NY; NYC

Film | The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks: The Story of a Design Icon by Daniel Konstanski
Author and Lego Expert Daniel Konstanski will discuss his new book The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks: The Inside Story of a Design Icon with Allison Nellis. From the first hollow bricks to the complex shapes and building techniques of today, this book is a LEGO history like no other-and the first official book for Adult Fans of LEGO bricks.

This book sets out to explore the brick's rich history in unparalleled detail and full color. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, author Daniel Konstanski reveals for the first time how and why new LEGO bricks are made, speaking to the people involved with each crucial step, from the so-called "rock stars," the set designers, through to the element designers, design masters, graphic designers, elements testers and approvers, plastics technicians, and many more.    New York City, NY; NYC

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm    New York City, NY; NYC

Discussion | Five Classic Ballets Then and Now
Classic ballets from the 19th century may be household names, but what does their original history tell us about how they were first performed and what we can learn from the past that is useful for today's stagings? Marian Smith and Doug Fullington discuss long-forgotten aspects of some of the most well-known ballet classics with the dance writer Marina Harss. The two dance historians recently published Five Ballets from Paris and St. Petersburg, a book that provides an in-depth look at the earliest productions of Giselle, Paquita, Le Corsaire, La Bayadere, and Raymonda, including detailed accounts of choreography, mime, music, and action. These classic story ballets were intended to appeal to popular audiences--they were easy to follow, full of variety, and they dazzled with special effects and spectacle. But in the 20th century, many of them underwent radical changes. And more recently, serious discussions have arisen about cultural insensitivity and exoticization. What is still interesting about them today? By revealing in unprecedented detail what they were like when first created, Smith and Fullington explore the viability of a number of ballet classics that are commonly revived for today's audiences. Registration required.    New York City, NY; NYC
