SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Joe Chuman and Leonard Grob: The Israel-Hamas War and the Day After
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\, in-person and online! \nI had an unusual opportunity last month to travel Israel to get sense of Israeli society in person and on the ground. I met with representatives of civil society to hear from them their response to their government\, the devastating war in Gaza\, and the efforts at mutual support in light of the massacre of October 7th. \nIn my presentation of March 17th I want to share what I saw and learned as well as relate the context for these very disturbing events. \nI will be joined by Professor Leonard Grob. Professor Grob is a Holocaust scholar. His research has led to a life long commitment to fostering peace between Israelis and Palestinians. He has done much work on site in the Middle East. In more recent decades\, Dr. Grob has served as president\, and now vice-president\, of Partners for a Progressive Israel\, which has become a significant actor in attempting to bring an end to the conflict. Our discussion will include thoughts on plans for long range peace after the current violence comes to an end. \nI hope you can join me for an important discussion. \nWatch Online\nClick to join at start time | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nMonthly Collection\nTBA \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sold Out! - John McDonagh Presents: 'Off The Meter'
DESCRIPTION:“He’s an unfailingly affable raconteur… It’s all fascinating stuff.” –The New Yorker \n“An absorbing portrait of a city and society in continual flux\, as told by someone who has lived through it\, Off the Meter\, on the Record makes for an extremely satisfying journey.”  —The Epoch Times \n“Uproarious and moving” –TheaterScene \n“Hilarious…It’s hard to think of anyone who could do justice to the New York cabby’s life better than John McDonagh.” –Theatre’s Leiter Side \n“It’s a gem!” –Curtain Up \n“Had Mark Twain driven a yellow cab instead of a riverboat\, his stories might’ve been like those of populist raconteur John McDonagh.” —Woman Around Town \nJoin us for a special performance of Off The Meter with playwright and actor John McDonagh! \nA comedic glimpse into 40 years behind the wheel of a New York City yellow taxi\, Off The Meter is a pithy social commentary from New York’s most recognizable cab driver about life spent behind the wheel. \nJohn McDonagh\, veteran radio host\, has condensed thirty-plus years of activism\, reality show antics and observation into a love song to the city that never sleeps. \nFrom the plight of the NYC homeless to the crazy demands of Upper East Side matrons\, McDonagh brings the audience from laughter to tears and back again faster than the apparition of umbrella dealers on a rainy day. Throw in his tales of brushes with the rich and famous\, and you have Irish storytelling at its best.
