SUMMARY:Klezmer Concert: Jake Shulman-Ment and Abigale Reisman
DESCRIPTION:Violinists Jake Shulman-Ment and Abigale Reisman are among the most highly regarded klezmer performers of their generation. They are united in their stunning virtuosity\, deep backgrounds in klezmer and Yiddish musical idioms\, fearless sense of exploratory improvisation\, and dedication to helping uncover and revive previously unknown folk repertoire. Prepare to be led on a virtuosic and energetic journey through raucous dance tunes\, meditative listening music\, original compositions\, and new settings of Yiddish poetry. \nOn the day following this special appearance\, they will be heading into the studio to record a collaborative album. They are joined by klezmer legends Kurt Bjorling (clarinet) and Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl)\, and rising cello star Raffi Boden (cello). \nAbout the Musicians\nBorn in New York City\, violinist Jake Shulman-Ment is “considered one of the finest klezmer fiddlers on the planet” (Jon Kalish\, NPR). He tours and records internationally as a soloist and with Midwood\, Daniel Kahn\, Frank London\, Di Naye Kapelye\, Joey Weisenberg\, and Duncan Sheik. He was featured in Csaba Bereczki’s full-length documentary film Soul Exodus\, and performed on screen in HBO’s Succession and Martin Scorcese’s The Irishman. A widely sought-out teacher of the klezmer fiddle tradition\, Jake has been a faculty member of KlezKamp\, KlezKanada\, Klezmer Paris\, the Krakow Jewish Culture Festival\, Yiddish Summer Weimar\, Fiddle Tunes\, Yiddish New York\, and other festivals throughout the globe. He collected\, studied\, performed\, and documented traditional music in Romania as a Fulbright scholar\, and has lived and traveled in Hungary and Greece\, learning traditional violin styles. In 2018 he received the prestigious NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Folk/Traditional Arts.

Visit him online at https://www.jakeshulmanment.com. \nWith over 15 years of experience playing klezmer music\, Abigale Reisman has established herself as an expressive and thoughtful fiddle player with a lot to say. She is particularly interested in creating a vocal sound through the violin and connecting her playing to the rhythms and accents of the Yiddish language. Abigale is a performer\, composer\, and arranger with the International Jewish Music Festival award winning band\, Ezekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band. She regularly performs in a duo with renowned klezmer scholar and performer Hankus Netsky. Abigale has been a faculty member of Yiddish Summer Weimar\, Yiddish New York\, and Klezkanada.

SUMMARY:October Book Club with Carey Russell: An Introduction to 'A Sand County Almanac' by Aldo Leopold (Online)
DESCRIPTION:In his introduction to the 1987 edition of A Sand County Almanac\, Robert Finch writes: \nNo other single book of American nature writing – with the exception of Walden – has achieved such lasting stature as A Sand County Almanac. Since it was first published by Oxford in 1949…it has become an established classic in the field…and providing the core of modern conservation ethics. \nTrue to its name “The Almanac”\, as many call it for short\, is a collection of brief essays and journal entries\, divided into three sections. Our October book club meeting\, led by our friend\, October 27th Sunday Platform speaker\, and DendroLab founder Carey Russell\, will examine selected readings from each section to provide an overview of the book’s content and major themes. \nPlease feel free to read these in advance\, or join us without\, as several will be read aloud during the online event. Please note that page numbers are intentionally not included\, since these can vary by edition. \nTogether we’ll discuss the following selected readings: \n\nForeword\nFrom Part I: December (including “Home Range”\, “Pines Above the Snow”\, and “65290”)\nFrom Part II: Thinking Like a Mountain (found within the section Arizona and New Mexico)\nFrom Part III: The Land Ethic (including “The Ethical Sequence”\, “The Community Concept”\, and “The Ecological Conscience”)\n\nRSVP to Join Online\nClick Here to RSVP to Join via Zoom \nAbout Host Carey Russell\n \nCarey is a naturalist\, photographer\, and filmmaker.

He has worked with 350NYC and other local and national groups\, and is currently co-facilitator of Third Act NYC\, as well as Third Act Lawyers. Pat has been particularly interested in the intersection of law and climate advocacy\, and in the role of the faith community in the climate movement. He was instrumental in organizing faith participation in the 2014 Climate March that brought more than 350\,000 people to the streets of NYC\, and more recently has been involved in the elders’ actions that have been part of “The Summer of Heat\,” a months-long series of protests targeting Citigroup\, the world’s largest financer of new fossil-fuel infrastructure projects. He lives on the Upper West Side with his wife\, Susan Gargiulo\, and is active in local Democratic politics. \nEliza Clark is from New York City and lives in Manhattan with her husband and three daughters. She was inspired to take an active part in the climate movement by the example of her teenage daughter Helen Mancini who is a lead organizer with Fridays for Future NYC. Her background is in education and academia. She has a PhD from Harvard University in American Studies and her areas of research include the 19th century women’s movement and the intersection of social and political movements with family life. She has taught history and writing at both the college and high school levels; she has also spent many years as a primary parent and caregiver. She joined Climate Families NYC in 2022 and now serves as one of its volunteer Co-Chairs. She regularly participates in climate actions with her 6-year-old who has befriended many other kids in the group. She and Helen wrote about the urgent need for parents to get involved in climate activism in Teen Vogue. \nMonica Weiss is a long time Ethical Culture member\, retired educator and climate activist. Since retiring from teaching she has trained as a Climate Reality Leader\, completed the Project Drawdown Workshop\, and is on the 350NYC Steering Committee and the Third Act NYC Coordinating Committee. Committed to empowering youth\, Monica has focused much of her activism on creating welcoming spaces for many youth groups to meet and organize at New York Society for Ethical Culture including Fridays for Future\, since 2019. \nPanel Moderator: Khandra Sears\nKhandra Sears is the American Ethical Union’s Board President. Khandra’s relationship with Ethical Culture began as she pursued an undergraduate degree in microbiology and began to question what faith and the Bible meant to her. As she moved to Baltimore to earn a PhD in Microbiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM)\, she started to attend Baltimore Ethical Society Platforms and went on to join them as a member. Currently\, Khandra works at UMSOM as part of a research team that develops live oral vaccines primarily against non-typhoidal strains of Salmonella enterica but also against other enteric bacteria. Since gastroenteric infections are still a leading cause of illness and death in children in resource-limited regions\, she takes pride in the fact that she is working to address this issue and ultimately improve human lives.
