SUMMARY:Storied. The Reggae Session with special guest Matisyahu
DESCRIPTION:STORIED is back at The Berman with The Reggae Session. Join us for an\nextraordinary concert experience that delves into the rich tapestry of Jewish\nculture and its connections to reggae. This unique event promises to weave\ntogether music\, storytelling\, and community\, celebrating the profound\ninfluence and contributions of Jewish artists and fans to this iconic music\ngenre. \nThe concert will feature a special guest\, international star Matisyahu.\nFor nearly two decades\, Matisyahu has kept his creative spirit aflame by\nevolving his sound\, melding genres\, and testing the limits of the musical\ntraditions that have inspired him. His latest release\, Hold the Fire\, and its\nleadoff single "Fireproof" takes inspiration from a dream inspired by\nMatisyahu’s Old Testament religion\, which has meant so much to his spiritual\nand creative life since his recording career began in 2004 and his breakout\n"King Without a Crown" blasted into the Billboard charts in 2005. \nThis concert will spotlight different aspects of Jewish identity as it\nintersects with the genre’s ethos\, exploring themes of community\,\nspirituality\, and resilience. \n“Music has always been a bridge between cultures\, and…music resonates deeply\nthroughout the Jewish experience\,” says Benji Rosenzweig\, STORIED. Co-\nCreator and host of the evening. “We are excited to continue creating a space\nwhere these stories can be heard and celebrated through the universal language\nof music.” \nThis unforgettable evening promises a journey through music and storytelling\nas we honor the bonds between Jewish culture and reggae. In a setting similar\nto MTV _  Unplugged _meets VH1 Storytellers \, the band and Benji will go\nback and forth between storytelling and music. Don’t miss out on this fourth\nsession of STORIED\, a concert series audiences are raving about: \n“This program was great. The music was AMAZING. We were all rocking out and\nthey could not have been more fabulous. I loved all the stories!” – anonymous\nGrunge Session attendee \nFunded with support from Eli Saulson and the Directors’ Discretionary Fund\nof The William Davidson Foundation \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/12531

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Beyond the Wall
DESCRIPTION:“BEYOND THE WALL”\nExhibit at Janice Charach Gallery \nArtist Talk: Sunday\, November 23\, 1 p.m. \nHear from the artists of Beyond the Wall\, a captivating art exhibit\nshowcasing the work of contemporary sculptors who challenge the conventions of\ndimensionality. Featuring a curated blend of wall-mounted pieces and free-\nstanding sculptures\, this collection explores the interplay between surface\nand structure\, intimacy and monumentality. \nEach artist brings a unique approach to material\, form\, and spatial\npresence—whether affixed to the wall or commanding the floor. From subtle\nreliefs that blur the line between painting and sculpture\, to bold\, immersive\nforms that invite movement and reflection\, these works engage viewers in a\ntactile and visual conversation. \nThis exhibit invites you to experience sculpture not as static object\, but as\nactive participant—transforming the walls\, occupying the air\, and reshaping\nhow we perceive space itself. \nFeatured Artists:\nTerrence Campagna\nDoug Cannell\nAmelia Currier\nRobert Mirek\nJohn Rizzo\nMike Ross\nAmadeus Roy\nLarry Zdeb \nEXHIBIT SPONSORS: Manat Foundation\, Doris Shulman\, Esther Hankin\, Dr. Judy\nBalan Pearl\, Sue & Alan Jay Kaufman Foundation \nPROGRAM SPONSORS: Lesley & Dr. Barry Feldman\, Judy & Dr. John Marx\, Arlene &\nJack Schultz \nFor more on exhibits and events\, visit\n(https://charachgallery.org/). \nOPEN HOURS DURING EXHIBITS:\nSunday\, Tuesday\, Wednesday – 10 am – 4 pm\nThursday – 11 am – 7 pm\n*Visit the website or social media for up-to-date information & holiday\nclosures. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/12760
