Feminist Portraits
Photographer Joan Roth focuses her lens on women living and working in the former Soviet Union whose lives have been touched by Project Kesher, an organization that helps women in the region participate in Jewish life while providing them with skills to be leaders in Jewish community building and social activism.
Roth’s new body of work documents historic changes in women’s rights and religious oppression. The exhibit is presented by Project Kesher and the Ukrainian Institute of America.
Ukrainian Institute of America, 2 E. 79th St.; through March 18; Tue.-Sat., noon-6 p.m.; $5. (914-576-5476 or www.projectkesher.org)
A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
