Lecture | Two Flags: The World of American Zionism, 1948-1995
Zionism has always been a diasporic movement, with its transnational attention focused on the Middle East. However, the American branch of that transnational movement was shaped by local conditions. Jewish American Zionists, historically, had to negotiate the challenge of what many in the United States called “dual loyalty” to two national states. In the years after 1948, many American synagogues came to proudly display the US and Israeli flags side by side. This talk by Doug Rossinow of the University of Oslo will narrate several phases of this political and cultural negotiation, by American Zionists, of the challenge of relating to an actually existing “state of the Jews.”

Author Reading | Soul of a Democrat: The Seven Core Ideals That Made Our Party – and Our Country – Great
In 2016 the Democratic Party lost control of every branch of government. Countless explanations and excuses have been offered, but in this heartfelt, evocative book longtime Democratic activist Thomas B. Reston illuminates the true cause: the party has lost its soul. In Reston’s view the party has abandoned any unifying idealistic message. Instead of crafting policies and platforms that appeal to the nation as a whole, Democrats target specific blocs of voters –and change their talking points accordingly.

Author Reading | Good and Mad: Female Fury in USA
The bestselling author of All the Single Ladies, Rebecca Traister, on the enduring power of female anger—and its ability to ignite a political movement. Rebecca Traister has been hailed as “the most brilliant voice on feminism in this country.” In her new book, Good and Mad, author turns her expertise to the long, complicated story of female fury in this country—from the suffragettes to the scores of women who walked out of offices after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court, and beyond. When properly harnessed, the force of women’s collective anger can change history. Yet female rage has long been caricatured and deligitimized, holding women to a ruinous double standard.

Performance | Antigone in Ferguson: Sophocles and Choral Music
Antigone in Ferguson was conceived in the wake of Michael Brown’s death in 2014, through a collaboration between Theater of War Productions and community members from Ferguson, Missouri. Translated and directed by Bryan Doerries and composed by Phil Woodmore, the project fuses a dramatic reading by leading actors of excerpts from Sophocles’s Greek tragedy with live choral music performed by a choir of activists, police officers, youth, and concerned citizens from Ferguson and New York City. The performance is the catalyst for panel and audience-driven discussions on race and social justice, the core component of the event. This multifaceted production will offer a glimpse not only into the effects of the tragedy in Brown’s local community, but also the trauma of police violence and racial injustice in communities of color in New York and across the nation. Local stakeholders and community leaders will participate as panelists, assisting in opening up dialogues with audiences. These guided discussions, which aim to promote healing and bridge the growing divide between law enforcement and local communities, will focus on the impact of racialized violence against communities of color, and the legacies of the tragic deaths of Michael Brown, as well as Eric Garner, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Saheed Vassell, and numerous other victims. The presentation will feature a rotating roster of acclaimed actors, including Samira Wiley (The Handmaid’s Tale), who will reprise the role she portrayed in the premiere of Antigone in Ferguson presented on the stage of Michael Brown’s high school in Ferguson in 2016. Other cast members include: Paul Giamatti (Billions), Tamara Tunie (Law & Order: SVU), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck), Adepero Oduye (12 Years a Slave), Frankie Faison (The Wire) and Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order: Criminal Intent). Each week will feature a different group of actors. Tuesdays through Saturdays, September 13-October 13, 2018.
