AJ Adult Ed Brunch 'n Learn with Maestro Karl Middleman:
“Please Pass the Grits and Gefilte Fish: Jewish Contributions to the Harlem Renaissance”
Sunday, January 25 at 10:00 AM
Jewish “influencers” in the arts and entertainment industry had a profound impact on the cultural identity of America throughout the twentieth century. Maestro Karl Middleman, Founder and former Music Director of the Philadelphia Classical Symphony, will join us for his second presentation at AJ this year. Middleman will be offering his insights, wit, and musical talents to explore “Please Pass the Grits and Gefilte Fish: Jewish Contributions to the Harlem Renaissance.” The jazz tradition expanded from its African-American origins to include the work of many famous Jewish composers and performers. With its speakeasies and dance halls, Harlem, as one of the northern cultural capitols of jazz, became a nexus of both racial-ethnic antagonism and cooperation, and a prototype for relations between Blacks and Jews in subsequent decades. The cost for the brunch and program is $10 for AJ members, and $18 for non-members. Click here to register.

Adult Education Brunch 'n Learn with Melissa Klapper:
Jewish Women and the Civil War
Sunday, March 1 at 10:00 AM
Emma Mordecai was a complicated figure: both a staunch defender of Judaism, and an ardent Confederate nationalist and slave owner. Her life, as vividly captured in her wartime diary, is a good example of the messiness of history and the ambiguous place of Jews in the antebellum and Civil War South. Come join us for a discussion of The Civil War Diary of Emma Mordecai, a book initiated by the late Dr. Dianne Ashton, Professor Emerita of Philosophy and World Religion at Rowan University, and completed after her passing by Dr. Melissa R. Klapper, Professor of History at Rowan University. The cost for the brunch and program is $10 for AJ members, and $18 for non-members. Click here to register.
