Culinary Cabaret
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The Thalia Follies returns to Symphony Space for the fourth year in a row to take on a meaty subject: food.
The political cabaret series, created by Isaiah Sheffer and Martin Sage, includes a number of sketches that speak directly to members of the tribe. The Food Follies includes songs about Zabar’s, Artie’s Delicatessen, egg creams and a “Shiksa’s Seder.” There is also a tribute to beloved New York City restaurants that are no longer with us.
Symphony Space, Leonard Nimoy Thalia theater, 2537 Broadway (at 95th St.); Nov. 19, 6:30 p.m. &, 8:30 p.m.; $25, $20 members, $30 the day of the show. (212-864-1414 or www.symphonyspace.org)
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
