SUMMARY:Scholars in Session: A Pickle Problem-The Deli Revival and American Jewish Religion
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Rachel B. Gross explores how participating in the deli revival provides\nan alternative\, under-appreciated way of practicing in American Jewish life.\nIn her book\, _Beyond the Synagogue: Jewish Nostalgia as Religious Practice\,_\nthe author traces American Jews’ involvement in a broad array of ostensibly\nnonreligious activities. From conducting Jewish genealogical research\,\nvisiting Jewish historic sites\, purchasing books and toys that teach Jewish\nnostalgia to children\, to seeking out traditional Jewish foods\, Gross argues\nthat these practices illuminate how many American Jews are finding and making\nmeaning within American Judaism today.\nRachel B. Gross is Associate Professor and John and Marcia Goldman Chair in\nAmerican Jewish Studies at San Francisco State University. Her book\, _Beyond\nthe Synagogue: Jewish Nostalgia as Religious Practice_ \, is a 2021 National\nJewish Book Award finalist and received an Honorable Mention for the 2021 Saul\nViener Book Prize\, given by the American Jewish Historical Society. \n**Prof. Gross will be signing her book following the program\, which also\nincludes a free pickle tasting!** \nPresented by SAJE (Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment). Sponsored by Center\nfor Judaic Studies at Eastern Michigan University\, Detroit Jewish Book Fair\nand JLearn. \n**_Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment (SAJE) programming is endowed by a\ngenerous gift from Cis Maisel and supported by Carol & Ronald P. Fogel\, Sheri\n& David Jaffa\, and Elaine & Michael Serling through The J’s Pillar of Light\nProgram.

SUMMARY:Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of Sholom Aleichem
DESCRIPTION:**75 Minutes | Documentary | USA | English**\n**Produced under the aegis of The National Center for Jewish Film**\n**Director: John Lollos / Narrator: Alan Alda** \nPortraits of two beloved icons–Sholom Aleichem and Theodore Bikel–are woven\ntogether in the enchanting documentary\, **_Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of\nSholom Aleichem_** \, which combines Bikel’s charismatic storytelling and\nmasterful performances with a broader exploration of Aleichem’s remarkable\nlife and work. The two men have much in common: wit\, wisdom and talent\, all\nshot through with deep humanity and Yiddishkeit. \n**Theodore Bikel** \, the unstoppable performer whose career spanned more than\n150 screen roles (including an Oscar-nominated turn in The Defiant Ones) and\ncountless stage and musical productions\, was also the foremost interpreter of\nSholom Aleichem’s work. Bikel played Tevye the Milkman on stage more than\n2\,000 times and animated Aleichem’s work through his creation of two\ncelebrated musical plays about the great Russian author. \nA pioneer of modern Jewish literature who championed and luxuriated in the\nYiddish language\, **Sholom Aleichem** created dozens of indelible characters.\nHis Tevye the Milkman\, Motl the Cantor’s Son\, and Menachem Mendl all remain\ninvaluable windows into pre-war Eastern European Jewish life\, real and\nimagined. \nFollowing the film\, **Aimee Ginsburg Bikel** will continue the celebration of\nTheodore Bikel’s (z”l) Centennial year\, sharing stories of her late husband’s\nremarkable career and legacy. She will be joined onstage for a concert of\nTheodore Bikel’s greatest hits performed by acclaimed Yiddish musical artist\n(and Detroit favorite!) **Mikhl Yashinsky** and musical director **Dr. Lorry\nA. Black** \, Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience UCLA\nHerb Alpert School of Music. \nPresented by SAJE (Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment) and the Lenore Marwil\nDetroit Jewish Film Festival. Promotional Partners Detroit Jewish Book Fair\,\nHenry & Delia Meyers Library\, and JLearn. \nThis program is made possible by generous support from Workmen’s\nCircle/Arbeter Ring and Bronze Film Sponsor Jewish Historical Society of\nMichigan Sholem Aleichem Institute Yiddishkeit Programming Fund.\n_SAJE is endowed by a generous gift from Cis Maisel and supported by Carol &\nRonald P. Fogel\, Sheri & David Jaffa\, and Elaine & Michael Serling through The\nJ’s Pillars of Light Program._ \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/8241
