Screening | Silent Film Showcase: Circus Clowns (1922), Go West (1923), It's the Cats (1926) and The Lion's Whiskers (1925)
Silent Clowns, New York's longest-running regularly scheduled silent film showcase hosts an afternoon of hoots and hijinks! Presenting the silent comedies of Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, Lloyd, and many others, all with live musical accompaniment by renowned silent-film accompanist Ben Model. Every program features a spoken introduction and Q&A by film historians Steve Massa and Model. For classic-film fans young and old alike! Animals were very popular in silent films because the lack of sound made it easy for trainers to instruct the bestial Barrymores and put them through their paces on camera. Some frugal producers were able to develop stars without egos who would literally work for peanuts. For this selection of comedy critters we have Brownie the Wonder Dog, Numa the lion, and the Dippy-Doo-Dads in Circus Clowns (1922), Go West (1923), It's the Cats (1926) and The Lion's Whiskers (1925).

Talk | Saint Joseph Steps Out of the Shadows (in-person and online)
Joseph, the husband of Mary, is a shadowy figure in the New Testament. The angel speaks to Joseph in Matthew's gospel, instructing him to flee from King Herod to Egypt, just as Joseph his namesake went down to Egypt centuries before. The story of the saint is elaborated in a second-century, semi-legendary narrative attributed to James, where the staff of Joseph, an elderly widower, miraculously blossoms as a sign of his fatherly role in the life of Christ and the salvation of the world. This presentation looks at various representations of the saint and examines his narrative critically through works of art. With art historian Dennis Raverty.

Lecture | When Does Anti-Zionism Become Antisemitism? (online)
Dina Porat, professor of Jewish History at Tel Aviv University and chief historian of Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Memorial Center, gives a timely lecture addressing the urgent question of the roots and history of the term "anti-Zionism" and its relationship to antisemitism. A distinction is drawn between objections to Zionism within the framework of the Jewish people and the use and abuse of the term as a political tool in the public international arena, which may be expressed with antisemitic motifs and images. The following topics and questions, among others, will be covered: -- The untold role of the Soviet Union in disseminating anti-Zionism, and the impact of its efforts -- Anti-Zionism before and after the Six Days War -- The Durban 2001 conference as a turning point: associating Jews with Israelis and antisemitism with anti-Zionism -- The aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel and the resurgence of world antisemitism -- When and how does legitimate criticism of Israel's government and policies cross the line to anti-Zionism? -- Discussions, protests and demonstrations on college campuses and elsewhere -- What is known about the funding of antisemitic and anti-Zionist activities

An event for Yiddish enthusiasts the world over, the YIVO Yiddish club is an informal monthly gathering to celebrate Mame-loshn. Hosted by Shane Baker, sessions take place in English, and are liberally peppered with Yiddish. Each month Baker is joined by a different guest who discusses their work and a related Yiddish cultural theme.

Each session includes ample time for audience questions, group discussion, and, time permitting, knock-down, drag-out arguments. Attendees need not know any Yiddish to attend, though some familiarity with the language is highly recommended. This session features actor, singer, and filmmaker, Dylan Seders Hoffman. She is the founder and artistic director of Chava Productions, a film production company which presents original works located at the intersection of pop culture and 21st century Jewishness with a generous dose of Yiddish. Chava Productions' first short film Yiddish Mean Girls premiered in the fall of 2022. As an actor, she has performed Off-Broadway with the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, including in their New York Times Critic's Pick production The Sorceress, with the New Yiddish Rep, and at the New York Theatre Festival.

Drawing on Wiesel's prodigious literary output and interviews with his family, friends, scholars, and critics, Joseph Berger seeks to answer this question.

Book Discussion | Politicizing Islam in Central Asia: From the Russian Revolution to the Afghan and Syrian Jihads
Few observers anticipated a surge of Islamism in Central Asia after seventy years of forced communist atheism. Yet, Islamism became the dominant form of political opposition in post-Soviet Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Author Kathleen Collins explores the causes, dynamics, and variation in Islamist movements--first within the USSR, and then in the post-Soviet states of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Drawing upon extensive ethnographic and historical research, she explains the strategies and relative success of each Central Asian Islamist movement. Collins argues that in each case, state repression of Islam, by Soviet and post-Soviet regimes, together with the diffusion of religious ideologies, motivated successive waves of Islamist mobilization. Sweeping in scope, this book traces the origins and trajectories of Central Asian Islamist movements from the Soviet era through the Tajik civil war, the Afghan jihad against the United States, and the foreign fighter movement in Syria.

Tour | Holiday Building Tour/Chanukah Celebration
In honor of the Festival of Lights, the museum is offering a very special building tour. At the turn of the 20th century, one-third of Eastern Europe's Jews passed through Ellis Island on the way to a new life in a new land. During this era, the Lower East Side became home to the largest Jewish community in the world, and its new residents brought customs and traditions that were adapted to fit into their new home. Head upstairs to the beautifully restored Main Sanctuary with Education and Accessibility Senior Manager Scott Brevda and Curator and Archivist Nancy Johnson to explore the landmark building and exhibit Lighting the World: Menorahs Around the Globe, the historic Aharon Ben Zalman menorah collection. Learn about the building and its Moorish Revival architecture, Jewish history on the Lower East Side, and how Jewish immigrants displayed their American pride and incorporated it into their new lives.

Opera | Shir Hashirim (The Song of Songs): A 1911 Operetta (online)
A performance of the music of Shir Hashirim (The Song of Songs), a 1911 operetta by Joseph Rumshinsky and Anshel Shor. Premiered in NYC, Shir Hashirim was subsequently performed around the world. It was so popular that a 1935 film was made based on it, and, according to Rumshinsky, a young George Gershwin could play the whole score by heart. Shir Hashirim is a musical comedy which features several interlocking love triangles that include an aging composer along with his children and their lovers and friends. The work also touches on serious topics including love, mortality, and women's suffrage. Reconstructed from a variety of archival materials collected at YIVO, UCLA, and the Library of Congress, the operetta will be performed by students of the Bard Conservatory Vocal Arts Program.

Bestselling historian Steven Ujifusa tells the largely forgotten, colorful story of three remarkable businessmen who, driven by very different motives, made much of this immigration possible and forever changed the fate of millions. They were: Jacob Schiff, managing partner of the investment bank Kuhn, Loeb & Company who used his immense wealth to help Jews to leave Europe; Albert Ballin, managing director of the Hamburg-American Line who created a transportation network of trains and steamships; and the notorious J.P. Morgan, mastermind of the International Mercantile Marine trust who tried to take over the lucrative steamship business. With often contradictory goals, these titans of industry forged powerful alliances and compelling rivalries.

Book Discussion | The Controversialist: Arguments with Everyone, Left, Right, and Center (in-person and online)
To mark the publication of Martin Peretz's autobiography, this is a conversation between Peretz and longtime New Republic literary editor, Leon Wieseltier. From 1974 to 2012, during his years as publisher and editor-in-chief of The New Republic, Martin Peretz was a familiar presence on the American political scene. In its time under his leadership, the magazine was always fresh, erudite, contrarian, and brave. Anyone interested in finding out the most distinctive expert takes on the issues that mattered--whether they be domestic or international, cultural, or political--knew that the New Republic was required reading. In addition, Peretz spent over 40 years as a teacher in the Social Studies program at Harvard. The list of his former students is a who's who of American political life, including former vice president Al Gore, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and many more. The Controversialist begins in a vibrant but tragedy-stricken community of Yiddish Jews in his native Bronx and takes Peretz, blessed with that rare trait of always being in the right place at the right time, into the same rooms as some of the most prominent writers, thinkers, businessmen, activists, and politicians of the 20th and 21st centuries. Peretz's insights into his relationships with these men and women--many of them his students, teachers, colleagues, friends, and, of course, enemies--are both original and illuminating. Through his examination of the personalities, not least his own, at the center of the events that have defined the postwar and neoliberal decades, Peretz makes a rich and compelling argument for the ideals that have been the focus of his life: liberalism, democracy, and Zionism. In revisiting this rich life, he considers, too, what will come next now that those ideals are no longer assured.

Lecture | A Very Jewish Christmas: When Jesus Spoke Yiddish (online)
It is a curious fact that among the first Yiddish books ever printed was a translation of the New Testament, which appeared in 1540, only 18 years after Luther's famous translation (which it shamelessly cribbed). In the centuries that followed, another dozen or so missionary translations directed to Yiddish-speaking Jews followed. This talk will explore a dramatic change in the character of these translations in the twentieth century, when new conceptions of the Yiddish language, new cosmopolitanism in Yiddish culture, and new understandings of Jewish-Christian conversion converged to create new translation styles that aimed to express Jesus's Jewishness through a rich and haymish Yiddish. Speaker Naomi Seidman is the Jackman Humanities Professor at the University of Toronto, in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies.

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.
