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

By Forward Staff September 19, 2011

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.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
