Museum Explores the Jewish Experience
The Museum of the City of New York presents a series of events in conjunction with the exhibition The Jewish Daily Forward: Embracing an Immigrant Community.
Ruth Westheimer will discuss the Bintel Brief, the Forward’s recently revived advice column, with Forward Web editor Daniel Treiman; Broadway producer Stewart Lane, New Yorker film critic David Denby, actress Tovah Feldshuh and others will explore the ways in which Jews have influenced Broadway and Hollywood; Joseph Berger will talk about his new book, “The World in a City” (please see book review on this page), and filmmaker Kate Feiffer (daughter of artist Jules) will attend a screening and lead a discussion on her documentary “Matzo & Mistletoe,” which examines American secular Judaism.
Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Ave. (at 103rd St.); Nov. 7-25; for further information, call the museum or visit its Web site. (212-534-1672, ext. 3395, or www.mcny.org)
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
