But\, not only did the show include a Suffragette Parade — it has also been described as the first Yiddish musical to incorporate American rhythm. This lecture by scholar Ronald Robboy will explore the idea that Gershwin’s internalization of Black Americans’ music was influenced by his early immersion in Yiddish theater. \nRonald Robboy is a musician and independent scholar based in San Diego\, where he was a professional cellist for many years and\, beginning in the 1970s\, an early West Coast experimentalist in the klezmer revival. He has written and lectured extensively on Yiddish theater music\, and in 1998 was named Senior Researcher for Michael Tilson Thomas’s Thomashefsky Project. Robboy is leading YIVO Institute’s reconstruction of the score to composer Joseph Rumshinsky’s operetta Khantshe in Amerike (1912)\, to be performed in New York at the Center for Jewish History in May 2026. \nThis virtual event is from 1 to 2 p.m. Register at https://yivo.org/George-Gershwin URL:/events/calendar/yiddish-theater-george-gershwin-and-the-birth-of-an-american-sound/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Affiliated Event,Diversity,Music,Virtual event,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/181/2025/03/Virtual-Event-500x300-no-shield.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260505T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260505T170000 DTSTAMP:20260609T191135 CREATED:20260203T235836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260223T204651Z UID:10074242-1777993200-1778000400@www.wcsu.edu SUMMARY:Mindfulness at the Library DESCRIPTION:MINDFULNESS AT THE LIBRARY: Feeling stressed this semester?

With an Aryan mother and Jewish father\, Pips could have escaped much of the Holocaust’s horrors. Instead\, he made a fateful decision at age 13 to become a Bar Mitzvah just as the Nuremberg Laws were enacted\, effectively choosing to be labeled a Jew under Nazi rule. Pips’ wartime experience is marked by daring escapes\, improbable rescues\, and survival while hiding deep within Nazi Berlin. Captured four times\, he escaped thrice\, choosing to remain in Nazi custody the fourth time as there was nowhere to run in bombed-out Berlin. At his place of confinement\, he met his future wife\, Olga Horvath\, who had been imprisoned after surviving Auschwitz and the Death March to Bergen Belsen. After their marriage in chaotic post-war Berlin\, they emigrated to the U.S. to start a new life. \nArriving in New York with nothing\, Pips rose from waiter to co-owner of the world’s largest photo agency — despite never owning a camera. Unlike Pips\, Olga was unable to escape the shadow of her Holocaust experiences\, and in a horrifying twist\, she threw herself off the roof of their gleaming luxury high-rise after more than 50 years of marriage\, leaving Pips grief-stricken\, but also able to reinvent himself one more time. This dramatic story brims with chance\, love\, loss\, resilience\, and reinvention\, culminating in a poignant exploration of Jewish identity\, memory\, and legacy. \nBennet will be in conversation with best-selling author Richard Walter. \nThis virtual event is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Register at https://mjhnyc.org/events/halfjewfulllife/ URL:/events/calendar/half-jew-full-life-book-talk/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Affiliated Event,Diversity,Lectures,Virtual event,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/181/2025/03/Virtual-Event-500x300-no-shield.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
