Party Tonight In A Wine-Lover’s Paradise
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Are you an oenophile? Or maybe you’re the type to try and fake your way through a fancy wine list.
Either way, you’re in luck: Tonight, Wednesday June 21, Yeshiva University Museum is holding its annual gala at the City Winery, and tickets are still available. The gala’s theme is “The Vine Cheereth,” and the event honors the Herzog family “for cheering us and strengthening global Jewish life,” according to the YUM Gala event page.
Tonight’s program includes a wine tasting and a talk on the history of wine and winemaking between David Herzog and Rabbi Dr. Meir Solovetchik. Dinner will feature some wonderful food-and-wine pairings and the evening will conclude with an auction of rare wines and wine-related artifacts.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
