Festival | Summer Thursday: Exhibitions, Crafts, Talks, Film

Thursday, August 15, 2024, 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Free

Full Schedule:

5 PM - 7:30 PM Craft Making
Come decorate sunglasses and color in hamsas!

5:30 PM and 6:15 PM Exhibition Tour with Sara Softness, the Museum's Director of Curatorial Affairs
Join Sara Softness, Director of Curatorial Affairs, for a behind-the-scenes tour of the curation of Courage to Act: Rescue in Denmark. As the Museum's first exhibition geared for audiences as young as 9, Courage to Act is excitingly multimedia: hear more about how the videos, large-scale illustrations, and scenography came together.

6:45 PM Talk with the Forward's Archivist Chana Pollack about the Catskills
Summer in the Catskills made a big impression on readers of the Forverts, the Jewish immigrant community's Yiddish paper of record, with subscribers jamming the newspaper's switchboards, scrambling to switch addresses so that their beloved daily would be delivered to their Borscht Belt boarding houses, bungalow colonies and resorts upon arrival.

Loaded with classified Yiddish ads for Catskills farmland, boarding houses, hotels and even Yiddish summer camps, Forverts readers and writers found a home in the Borscht Belt for well over a century. Come take a dip back into the historic Forward archives and see what the tumult was all about.

7:30 PM Screening of Dirty Dancing
An innocent teen vacationing with her upper-middle-class parents at an upscale resort in the 1960s Catskills gets a jolt of culture shock when she crushes on the hotel's slick, handsome dance instructor. The soundtrack yielded the Oscar-winning Best Song "(I've Had the) Time of My Life."
