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.

Book Discussion | The Human Rights of Migrants: Protecting the Most Vulnerable of Us
What are the human rights of migrants? To what extent do national governments protect these rights? What are the political and economic factors associated with more and less protection? What can be done to better safeguard migrant rights in the future? Where are the best opportunities for impact? In this book project, Justin Gest and Ian M. Kysel address these questions by offering a comprehensive catalogue of state commitments to protect the human rights of migrants and leveraging a novel, 45-country database to explore the extent to which these rights are protected and implemented by national governments.

Book Discussion | Sister Snake by Amanda Lee Koe
Sisterhood is difficult for Su and Emerald. Su leads a sheltered, moneyed life as the picture-perfect wife of a conservative politician in Singapore. Emerald is a nihilistic sugar baby in New York, living from whim to whim and using her charms to make ends meet. But they share a secret: once, they were snakes, basking under a full moon in Tang dynasty China. A thousand years later, their mysterious history is the only thing still binding them together. When Emerald experiences a violent encounter in Central Park and Su boards the next flight to New York, the two reach a tenuous reconciliation for the first time in decades. Su convinces Emerald to move to Singapore so she can keep an eye on her—but she soon begins to worry that Emerald’s irrepressible behavior will out them both, in a sparkling, affluent city where everything runs like clockwork and any deviation from the norm is automatically suspect. Sister Snake explores chosen family, queerness, passing, and the struggle against conformity. Reimagining the Chinese folktale “The Legend of the White Snake,” this is a novel about being seen for who you are—and, ultimately, how to live free. At this event, Amanda Lee Koe will discuss her new book.

Discussion | The “Jew-Hunt” Pogrom in Amsterdam and Beyond: It Could Happen Here (in-person and online)
Eighty-six years after mobs destroyed synagogues, shattered shop windows and assaulted Jews in a spasm of hatred known as Kristallnacht, Jews in Europe fled for their lives again, this time in Amsterdam. A “Jew hunt,” New York Times columnist Bret Stephens called the attacks surrounding a soccer match between Israeli and Dutch teams, pointing out that the haters had said more about “Cancer Jews” than about Gaza. “Grotesque as the phrase is, it can no longer surprise,” he continued, punctuating his point with a reminder of recent anti-Jewish abuse and assaults in America as well as in Europe. Even as Stephens was writing, Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, was flying to Amsterdam to meet with the Dutch prime minister, justice minister and national security adviser as well as leaders from the local Jewish community. Writing in USA Today after his trip, he warned about what the violence in Amsterdam and the hostility on American campuses may foreshadow.

Book Discussion | Newshawks in Berlin: The Associated Press and Nazi Germany (online)
After the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, the Associated Press brought news about life under the Third Reich to tens of millions of American readers. The AP was America’s most important source for foreign news but to continue reporting under the Nazi regime the agency made both journalistic and moral compromises. Its reporters and photographers in Berlin endured onerous censorship, complied with anti-Semitic edicts, and faced accusations of spreading pro-Nazi propaganda. Yet despite restrictions, pressures, and concessions, AP’s Berlin “newshawks” provided more than a thousand U.S. newspapers with extensive coverage of the Nazi campaigns to conquer Europe and annihilate the continent’s Jews. Newshawks in Berlin reveals how the Associated Press covered Nazi Germany from its earliest days through the aftermath of World War II. Larry Heinzerling and Randy Herschaft accessed previously classified government documents; plumbed diary entries, letters, and memos; and reviewed thousands of published stories and photos to examine what the AP reported and what it left out. Their research uncovers fierce internal debates about how to report in a dictatorship, and it reveals decisions that sometimes prioritized business ambitions over journalistic ethics. The book also documents the AP’s coverage of the Holocaust and its unveiling. Featuring comprehensive research and a memorable cast of characters, this book illuminates how the dilemmas of reporting on Nazi Germany remain familiar for journalists reporting on authoritarian regimes today.

Some years into their marriage, the couple invites their families on vacation. At a Cape Cod beach house, and later at a luxury Catskills bungalow, Keru, Nate, and their giant sheepdog navigate visits from in-laws and unexpected guests, all while wondering if they have what it takes to answer the big questions: How do you cope when your spouse and your family of origin clash? How many people (and dogs) make a family? And when the pack starts to disintegrate, what can you do to shepherd everyone back together? With author Weike Wang

Lecture | Gertrud Kauders, Jewish Artist from Prague: Surprises, Enigmas, Opportunities (online)
In July 2018, as workmen were demolishing a house on Prague’s outskirts they were astonished by works of art falling from a ceiling. Nobody had known that the works were hidden there. The art turned out to be that of Gertrud Kauders who had hidden the contents of her whole studio in the house of a friend before being deported first to Theresienstadt and then to Majdanek where she was murdered on arrival in May 1942. Kauders was a serious and inventive artist, quite well known in Prague’s art world of the time. She worked in oils, pencil, crayon, watercolour and gouache. Now her work is held by museums around the world. In this presentation, great nephew Simon During will tell the story of Kauders’ art, its recovery and distribution both to museums and the family. It goes on to think about what Kauders’ art means to us today. Simon During, born in Wellington NZ in 1950, is a professor of English Literature who has worked in universities around the world, including the University of Melbourne, UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins and the Freie Universität, Berlin.

Talk | On the Edge of Water and Change: John T. Krawchuk's Photography of the West Village Waterfront in the Early 1990s (online)
An evening with John T. Krawchuk examining the West Village waterfront on the brink of radical change and redevelopment in the early 1990s. As part of his 1995 Columbia University graduate thesis in Historic Preservation, Krawchuk photodocumented the Meatpacking District, Far West Village, and Hudson River. This project took place at a pivotal time in the neighborhood's history. The contemporary removal of disused sections of the High Line south of Gansevoort Street and the conversion of the abandoned Hudson River piers and waterfront to parkland coincided with and helped spur dramatic gentrification and development in the area, which had been a gritty backwater for decades. Krawchuk will be joined in conversation with Village Preservation's Executive Director Andrew Berman and Director of Preservation and Research Dena Tasse-Winter to help further highlight life in this unique part of our neighborhood as it was about to undergo an irrevocable change.

Screening | Joseph Brodsky: Epitaph for a Centaur, Six Years Later: Short Film and Discussion
A panel discussion and screening of a short film examining the life of Joseph Brodsky, the celebrated Russian-Jewish American writer and Nobel Laureate. Through analyses of two of Brodsky's evocative poems, "Epitaph for a Centaur" and "Six Years Later," this 25-minute film encapsulates Brodsky's exploration of identity, belonging, and the passage of time. The film examines the paradoxical relationship between the U.S. and Russia during the Cold War, intricately portrayed through the symbolic figure of the centaur--a representation of Brodsky's own multi-faceted existence as Russian, American, and Jewish. By delving into the intricate language of Brodsky's poetry, this short film explores Brodsky's Jewish identity, his legacy, and the political undertones of his writing.

Book Discussion | The Chief Rabbi's Funeral: The Untold Story of America's Largest Antisemitic Riot (online)
On July 30, 1902, tens of thousands of mourners lined the streets of New York's Lower East Side to bid farewell to the city's chief rabbi, the eminent Talmudist Jacob Joseph. All went well until the procession crossed Sheriff Street, where the six-story R. Hoe and Company printing press factory towered over the intersection. Without warning, scraps of steel, iron bolts, and scalding water rained down and injured hundreds of mourners, courtesy of antisemitic factory workers, accompanied by insults and racial slurs. The police compounded the attack when they arrived on the scene: under orders from the inspector in charge, who made no effort to distinguish aggressors from victims, his officers began beating up Jews, injuring dozens. To the Yiddish-language daily Forward, the bloody attack on Jews was not unlike the pogroms many Jews remembered bitterly from the Old Country, although no one was killed. But this was America, and Jews were now present in sufficient numbers, and possessed sufficient political clout, to fight back. Fed up with being persecuted, New York's Jews set a pattern for the future by deftly pursuing justice for the victims. They forced trials and disciplinary hearings, accelerated retirements and transfers within the corrupt police department, and engineered the resignation of the police commissioner. Scott D. Seligman's The Chief Rabbi's Funeral is the first book-length account of this event and its aftermath.

Classical Music | Klezmer Music Concert
Klezmer is an instrumental musical tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Central and Eastern Europe. The tradition includes dance tunes, ritual melodies, and virtuosic improvisations played for listening. Klezmer also incorporates elements of many other musical genres including Ottoman (especially Greek and Romanian) music, Baroque music, German and Slavic folk dances, and religious Jewish music. When the musical tradition was popularized in the United States in the 1910s and 1920s, it lost some of its traditional ritual elements and adopted elements of American big band and popular music. After the destruction of Jewish life in Eastern Europe during the Holocaust, and a general fall in the popularity of klezmer music in the United States, the music began to be popularized again in the late 1970s in the "Klezmer Revival." During the 1980s and onwards, musicians experimented with traditional and experimental forms of the genre, releasing fusion albums combining the genre with jazz, punk, and other styles.

Opening Reception | Design & Document: The Folly Cove Designers
Between 1938 and 1969, a group of friends and neighbors, under the direction of renowned children’s book illustrator Virginia Lee Burton, created designs and linoleum block prints inspired by the flora, fauna, seascape, and vibrant immigrant community of Cape Ann, Massachusetts. This body of work, almost all handprinted on textiles, reveals the idealism of the American dream without any cynicism—a capsule of our culture that may be viewed as nostalgic but more importantly, as a group effort that reveals the beauty and possibilities of collaboration. Today, the work of the Folly Cove Designers can be seen as an example of American Regionalism at its finest and a testament that some of the most enduring artworks can be born of hard work and humble origins.

Book Club | Graphic Novel Book Club: Ducks Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton
Before there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beaton, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as beaches, fiddles, and Gaelic folk songs. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush—part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed. Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.

Lecture | The New Reality of American Jewry
On October 7, American Jews woke up to a new, unrecognizable truth: a level of hatred to which so many assumed America had become immune. Where did all this antisemitism come from - or was it always there? How can we understand our place in a world that has, in every century, turned against us? How will the community react? Uncertain how New York's Jews would cope with this new reality, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of Park Avenue Synagogue found not fear but a profound, widespread connection to community, culture and faith. Drawing on a rich trove of Jewish history and tradition, in his new book, For Such a Time As This, Rabbi Cosgrove provides a guide to help readers make sense of this fraught moment, what it means to be Jewish today and the challenging questions embedded in the soul of contemporary Jewry. He joins us in conversation with author and essayist Rabbi David Wolpe to explore this new landscape, how we can reconcile the past with the present and face the unknown future with Jewish courage and spirit, in conversation with rabbis from across the city. Rabbi David Wolpe is a 21st-century sage who is widely considered among the very best Jewish teachers in America. He has taught Torah to Hollywood stars, scandalized his colleagues by opining that the Exodus didn't happen the way we've been taught, caused a major stir when he quit Harvard's Antisemitism Advisory Group and wrote a best-selling book optioned for a movie by Warner Bros

A dazzling exploration of our wish to remain innocent and ignorant—and its consequences. Aristotle claimed that “all human beings want to know.” Our own experience proves that all human beings also want not to know. Today, centuries after the Enlightenment, mesmerized crowds still follow preposterous prophets, irrational rumors trigger fanatical acts, and magical thinking crowds out common sense and expertise. Why is this? Where does this will to ignorance come from, and how does it continue to shape our lives? Acclaimed essayist and historian of ideas Mark Lilla offers an absorbing psychological diagnosis of the human will not to know.

Performance | The Books of Jacob: A Unique Digital Theater Experience Happening in 7 Locations Around the World
In this quantum, Kabbalistic, VR spectacle -- written by Olga Tokarczuk and directed by Krzysztof Garbaczewski -- the story of Jacob Frank comes to life simultaneously in seven locations around the world in a synchronized performance happening in New York, Serbia, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Greece. Actors performing on physical stages in each country and on a digital stage in virtual reality, capture a world on the brink of change as they animate the story of a young Jew in the 18th-century who experiences ecstatic visions travels across the Habsburg and Ottoman empires, meeting heretical condemnation one moment and messianic recognition the next. The Books of Jacob is a live performance that audiences can experience in-person in each country or online in VRChat. Audiences in New York will have the opportunity to put on a VR headset and experience the production digitally, as well as from their seat where the virtual environment will be projected and layered into the scenography. The digital performance network activated as part of this project transforms how theater is experienced and expands the theater’s global reach. Real-time translation services and subtitles in the virtual environment facilitates this multilingual production. Garbaczewski’s project draws from Nobel prize-winning Polish author Olga Tokarczuk’s epic historical novel The Books of Jacob. Garbaczewski was first drawn to the book while incorporating metaphysical texts into his theatre practice, especially those of Jewish messianic thinker Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank – the 18th Century man who claimed to be Sabbatai Zevi reincarnated. Tokarczuk’s novel takes on the perspectives of Jacob’s followers and others who witnessed his establishment of a transformative religious movement against the kaleidoscopic backdrop of Poland, Ukraine, Turkey, and Greece. Despite its power in 18th Century Europe, Jacob’s movement has largely been forgotten by European history. Struck by Jacob’s ideas and their relevance to today, Garbaczewski is motivated to explore the work as a multiplayer virtual reality experience.

Screening | Silent Clowns Film Showcase: The Strong Man (1926)
After years in vaudeville, Harry Langdon made his movie debut in 1924, and his career blazed brightly until 1928. Forgotten for many years, today's he's considered one of the era's greatest and most original film clowns. The Strong Man (1926) was the second for his own production company, and is his best-known and most successful starring comedy. It's also the first feature for director Frank Capra, and is the best example of their close collaboration, featuring some of Langdon's most memorable and celebrated comedy set pieces. Although his top stardom ended in 1928, Harry continued to entertain audiences until 1945. The Silent Clowns Film Series is New York's longest-running regularly scheduled silent film showcase. The programming reaches the serious film buff by including rarely-screened titles and rare prints, yet it also introduces kids and new audiences to the classics of the silent screen. Screenings feature live piano accompaniment by MoMA's Ben Model, with an introduction and Q&A by film historians Model and Steve Massa. Registration required.

Play | All Eight: Teammates and Rivals
In Lilly Camp's play, nine freshmen women have been recruited to a Northeast collegiate rowing team, where every morning at 6am they compete with each other for the best times, lowest body weights, and most influential seats, until race day when they are asked to put it all aside and row together as teammates in one boat. Off the water, their coach shows up at their parties and drinks with them, makes lewd comments about their bodies, and is allegedly sleeping with one of them. Over the course of their freshman year, All Eight examines how the world of collegiate sports drives these young women with varied power to fight to win– races, love, power– at the expense of even each other. A student production.

The pianist will be joined by composers and collaborators of the project—some of today’s most sought-after composers in the industry.
