Galeet Dardashti
Voices of Our Mothers
This musical project explores some of the compelling yet underappreciated Jewish and non-Jewish female Bible characters. Drawing inspiration from the diverse musical, cultural and linguistic landscapes of the Middle East, Galeet weaves their stories with the sounds of our world today.

Dan Fishback
The Last Chanukah
Dan Fishback will present a reading of the new draft of "The Last Chanukah." A discussion will follow, with scholar David Shneer.

At turns light-hearted and brooding, The Last Chanukah is a neurotic exploration of social responsibility and progressive guilt. A young Jewish man, crippled by his overactive sense of empathy, tries to get out of bed in the morning, but is distracted by history itself. His personal history. The history of America. The history of Judaism. The history of everything bad that has ever happened, ever. Will he break under the pressure of other people's tragedies? Or will he put on some pants and go to work already?
