Vasily Grossman’sThe Last Letter
Sunday, June 3 at 2 pm rsvp@spertus.edu.
Vasily Grossman’s Life and Fate has been called “the greatest Russian novel of the 20th century” (Le Monde). Based on a powerful excerpt, The Last Letter is a poignant solo performance piece that channels the story of Grossman’s own mother, who was murdered in the 1941 German massacre of the Ukrainian city of Berdichev. This simple and deeply moving piece reveals the dignity of its heroine, a physician who, when recognizing her fate, describes her memories and passions in a final letter to her son. Performed by Doreen Feitelberg and directed by Jeffrey Ginsberg.
Doreen Feitelberg is an actress and educator originally from Johannesburg. She received her training at the University of Witwatersrand, the University of South Africa, and Trinity College, London. She holds the position of Life Vice President of the South African Guild of Speech and Drama Teachers, and was on the executive board of the Shakespeare Society of Southern Africa.

Just four years ago, Nextbook got its start as an organization committed to promoting public library programs dedicated to Jewish topics. In short order, the ever-evolving nonprofit has conquered a swath of territory in the contested realm of Jewish arts and ideas, steadily expanding while maintaining its focus on Jewish cultural and intellectual life. Nextbook is the brainchild of Keren Keshet — the Rainbow Foundation — which sought to establish a single portal into the world of Jewish culture. Keren Keshet, an Israeli organization bankrolled by a wealthy American, Zalman C. Bernstein, originally managed Nextbook directly before spinning it off into an independent nonprofit in 2004. Its initial focus was public programming, with three cities — Seattle, Chicago and Washington, D.C. — selected to receive innovative Jewish programming in local libraries.

Opening April 5 to commemorate Israeli Independence Day (April 24), this insightful new exhibition surveys over 30 travel posters produced by Israeli government tourism agencies and both national and private transportation companies during the 1950s and 1960s. Among the most popular iconographic themes during this period are the portrayals of Israel as the ancient land of the Bible, as a place of unspoiled beauty and fascinating history, and as a thriving, modern nation.
