A Night of Music, Poetry, and a Whole Bunch of Jews

Artists and audience members filled The Living Theatre last night for the Forward’s Jewish Art for the New Millenium event, featuring Jessica Lurie, Ammiel Alcalay and Marc Ribot.
In addition to stellar performances by each of the artists, the audience was treated to a spontaneous collaboration between the three performers, as well as a rousing panel discussion about the intersection of art, Judaism and avant-garde aesthetics.
Stay tuned for the next Jewish Art For the New Millenium event in the coming months, and see below for more photos, courtesy of Dan Sagarin.
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.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
