A new photo-documentary exhibit exploring the final years of a unique Catskills bungalow colony built by and for Holocaust survivors has just been completed and is being prepared for publication and touring.
Through lush large format photographs, audio oral histories and text, it takes a counter-intuitive upbeat approach as it explores the lives of the lodgers of this thirty-year old yet nearly extinct community. Set against the backdrop of the fading Catskills colonies of yesteryear, it addresses themes of Holocaust survivors, positive living for the elderly, and the Jewish American experience.
For more information on the exhibit, or the artist , Rick Nahmias, please contact info@rcnphoto.com.

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.

The special exhibition “Home and Exile” will be on show until the end of April at the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Museum is now showing the interactive multimedia installation “The Danube Exodus” by the Hungarian artist Péter Forgács from the Labyrinth Project at the beginning of the exhibition to add an artistic perspective on the theme.
“The Danube Exodus” is a striking installation on the expulsion of ethnic minorities brought about by the expansionist politics of the Nazis. The setting is one of Europe’s largest rivers, the Danube, at the time when the multi-ethnic communities along its banks were destroyed. Historical amateur film clips, documentary material, and interviews are interwoven into a film on threat, deadly peril, and escape for “The Danube Exodus.” We cordially invite you to attend the opening on Thursday 19 April.

Two online resources remind us of the rich diversity of cultures in nineteenth-century London. The Jewish Museum has a very interesting online exhibition on the roots of Yiddish theatre, which was created by and for Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe who settled in the East End of London, especially Whitechapel and Spitalfields, in the late nineteenth century. The exhibition provides details on Abraham Goldfaden and the birth of Yiddish theatre; on the first professional Yiddish theatre company in London, formed by Jacob P. Adler in 1883; on the first purpose-built Yiddish theatre in London, known as the Hebrew Dramatic Club (1886); and on the Standard Theatre and Pavilion Theatre (”the Drury Lane of the East,” which became the primary London venue for Yiddish theatre in 1906). The story of a much smaller group in Victorian London, the Chinese who lived in Limehouse, are the subject of a fascinating web resource published by Untold London. Read the rest of this entry »

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.

Sarit Shapira is an associate curator at Magasin 3. This is her first own exhibition for the institution and a Swedish audience. Sarit Shapira lives in Tel Aviv and bases her activities on her region of operation, the Middle East. At Magasin 3 she presents six oeuvres that are linked to the region. These artists employ different approaches, for instance using national symbols such as the camel and the olive tree, making models of mythically charged buildings, or letting the landscape be a stage for enacting scenes from art history.

The Jewish Museum Berlin is extending the special exhibition “Jewish – now. Photographs and Interviews” for almost 4 weeks until 25 February 2007. In various series of photographs, students intensively explored a theme with which they were unfamiliar at the outset: Jewish life in Germany today.
The exhibition, which presents two projects completed by students from the University of Applied Sciences in Konstanz (communication design) and the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld (photography and media studies), shows work which reflects considerable openness and curiosity, but also sensitivity.
