SUMMARY:Jonathan Alter: Jimmy Carter and Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! Our fall series celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights continues with an interview of journalist and author Jonathan Alter hosted by Leader Dr. Joe Chuman. \nClick Here to RSVP to Join In-Person \nClick Here to RSVP to Join Online Via Zoom \nAbout His Very Best\nFrom one of America’s most respected journalists and modern historians comes the highly acclaimed\, “splendid” (The Washington Post) biography of Jimmy Carter\, the thirty-ninth president of the United States and Nobel Prize-winning humanitarian. \nJonathan Alter tells the epic story of an enigmatic man of faith and his improbable journey from barefoot boy to global icon. Alter paints an intimate and surprising portrait of the only president since Thomas Jefferson who can fairly be called a Renaissance Man\, a complex figure–ridiculed and later revered–with a piercing intelligence\, prickly intensity\, and biting wit beneath the patented smile. Here is a moral exemplar for our times\, a flawed but underrated president of decency and vision who was committed to telling the truth to the American people. \nGrowing up in one of the meanest counties in the Jim Crow South\, Carter is the only American president who essentially lived in three centuries: his early life on the farm in the 1920s without electricity or running water might as well have been in the nineteenth; his presidency put him at the center of major events in the twentieth; and his efforts on conflict resolution and global health set him on the cutting edge of the challenges of the twenty-first. \n“One of the best in a celebrated genre of presidential biography\,” (The Washington Post)\, His Very Best traces how Carter evolved from a timid\, bookish child–raised mostly by a Black woman farmhand–into an ambitious naval nuclear engineer writing passionate\, never-before-published love letters from sea to his wife and full partner\, Rosalynn; a peanut farmer and civic leader whose guilt over staying silent during the civil rights movement and not confronting the white terrorism around him helped power his quest for racial justice at home and abroad; an obscure\, born-again governor whose brilliant 1976 campaign demolished the racist wing of the Democratic Party and took him from zero percent to the presidency; a stubborn outsider who failed politically amid the bad economy of the 1970s and the seizure of American hostages in Iran but succeeded in engineering peace between Israel and Egypt\, amassing a historic environmental record\, moving the government from tokenism to diversity\, setting a new global standard for human rights and normalizing relations with China among other unheralded and far-sighted achievements. After leaving office\, Carter eradicated diseases\, built houses for the poor\, and taught Sunday school into his mid-nineties. \nThis “important\, fair-minded\, highly readable contribution” (The New York Times Book Review) will change our understanding of perhaps the most misunderstood president in American history. \nPurchase the book here. \nAbout Jonathan Alter\nJonathan Alter is an award-winning author\, political analyst\, documentary filmmaker\, columnist\, television producer and radio host. \nAlter’s most recent book is “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter\, a Life.” (2020)\, which received uniformly favorable reviews. His earlier books include three New York Times bestsellers: “The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies” (2013)\, “The Promise: President Obama\, Year One” (2010) and “The Defining Moment: FDR’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope” (2006)\, also one of the Times’ “Notable Books” of the year. \nA former senior editor and columnist at Newsweek\, Alter is a longtime political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.  He co-produced and co-directed the HBO documentary “Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists\,” which won the 2020 Emmy for Outstanding Historical Documentary. In 2013-2014\, he was an executive producer of “Alpha House\,“ a comedy on Amazon. \nOver the years\, Alter has written for the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Washington Monthly\, the New Yorker\, Bloomberg\, the Daily Beast and other publications. In 2021\, he launched a weekly Substack newsletter called “OLD GOATS\, Ruminating with Friends\,” which includes frequent columns and his conversations with accomplished people of wisdom and experience. Since 2016\, he has hosted “Alter Family Politics“ each week on Sirius XM\, 102 with his three adult children. \nAbout Leader Dr. Joe Chuman\nJoe Chuman started on his road to Ethical Leadership as a leader-in-Training here at the New York Society in 1969 and continued his training at the Bergen Society\, after which he became Leader of the Essex County Society before returning to the Bergen Society\, where he served as leader for 46 years\, retiring in January 2021. Joe has been a leader at the New York Society Since 2008. During his long career\, Joe has worked as an academic\, a social justice activist\, a speaker\, and a writer. He has been teaching human rights in the Graduate School at Columbia University for more than 20 years\, teaches human rights at Hunter College\, and has taught at the U. N. University for Peace in Costa Rica and at other colleges. \nAs an activist\, Joe has advocated for civil liberties\, human rights\, and other progressive causes and has frequently testified before the New Jersey legislature on such issues as religious freedom\, gun violence prevention\, death penalty opposition\, and immigrant rights.

SUMMARY:Tom Santopietro: 'The Way We Were: The Making of a Romantic Classic'
DESCRIPTION:Author Tom Santopietro joins us to discuss his latest book exploring the making of the classic film The Way We Were: \nThe most beloved romantic drama of the past fifty years. A haunting title tune that topped charts around the world. Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford at the peaks of their careers – and a film no one thought would succeed. \nBut succeed it did\, breaking box office records around the world with a nostalgia drenched\, decade spanning story featuring an awkward\, passionate\, political activist who falls in love with the campus golden boy. A story of opposites attracting\, colliding\, marrying\, and divorcing\, until they meet one last time and… \nNow\, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the film’s release\, The Way We Were- The Making of a Romantic Classic\, presents the definitive inside story behind the struggle to make the film\, the Academy Awards it won- and didn’t- the fights\, the passion- and the knock out power of a film that continues to resonate fifty years later. \nTom Santopietro\, author of acclaimed works on Barbra Streisand\, Doris Day\, and The Sound of Music\, gives a full account of this beloved classic\, from screenwriter Arthur Laurents’s first treatment to director Sydney Pollock’s wrangling of two superstars with directing ambitions of their own; from a disastrous first preview to a triumphant opening filled with glitter\, glamor\, and critical controversy. \nLaced with humor\, passion\, and fascinating\, behind-the-scenes stories\, The Making of a Romantic Classic entertains with a film historian’s keen\, insightful analysis while always staying focused on the extraordinary friendship and chemistry between Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford that has fueled talk of a sequel for no less than fifty years. \nFeaturing new insights from Barbra Streisand\, James Woods\, Lois Chiles\, and Alan Bergman\, as well as interviews with fans and film historians alike\, here is the ultimate inside story behind the Hollywood romance beloved by anyone who has ever loved with passion\, regret- and never ending mem’ries. \nClick here to RSVP to attend in-person \nClick here to RSVP to join online via Zoom \nAbout Tom Santopietro\nTom Santopietro is the author of eight previous books\, including the best-selling The Sound of Music Story\, The Importance of Being Barbra\, Sinatra in Hollywood\, The Godfather Effect\, Why To Kill A Mockingbird Matters\, and The New York Times Editor’s Choice Considering Doris Day. Over the past thirty years\, he has managed three dozen Broadway shows. \nAbout The Way We Were\nThe Way We Were: a nostalgia drenched\, bittersweet romance starring superstars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford at the peaks of their careers\, and a story for everyone who was ever loved with passion\, if not wisely. A smash hit around the world whose power echoes to this day—yet a film whose success was so far from assured that one studio executive was heard to exclaim: “Barbra Streisand doesn’t sing and she plays a communist—are you trying to kill me?!” But succeed the film did\, propelled by a smash-hit title song and career defining performances from Streisand and Redford. Now\, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the film’s release\, best-selling author Tom Santopietro provides the definitive inside story behind the challenges\, disputes\, and creative passions of those who fought to make this landmark film. Charting the path from screenwriter Arthur Laurents’s initial inspiration to the fervent talk of a possible sequel\, Santopietro mingles reverence and wry humor to decode the mysterious chemistry between Streisand and Redford that created a romance for the ages. Filled with humorous location anecdotes and fascinating first-hand accounts by actors\, film historians\, and members of the creative team\, The Way We Were: The Making of a Romantic Classic is a witty\, thoughtful\, and loving book for everyone who cherishes this American classic. \nPraise for the Way We Were: \n“All of Tom Santopietro’s books are impeccably researched\, well-written\, highly entertaining\, informative\, and original in understanding. The Way We Were is no exception. He clearly defines the lasting appeal of this movie\, and is particularly perceptive about the importance of Barbra Streisand’s presence in that success.”—Jeanine Basinger\, film historian and author of The Movie Musical \n“The expert and brilliant film historian Tom Santopietro takes us behind the scenes for the making of the film The Way We Were\, a love story that defined a generation. You will be enthralled as Santopietro guides you through the development of the story\, the unlikely pairing of the lead actors\, and the miracle of the production itself. There will never be another artist of the magnitude\, breadth\, and magnificence of Barbra Streisand\, yet in Santopietro’s hands\, Streisand is a working artist who navigates Hollywood despite her gender and insurmountable obstacles. You will be delighted by the cast that sets out to make this movie\, especially the easygoing leading man\, Robert Redford\, a star who possesses as much grace as talent. There are surprises\, shocking secrets never before revealed\, and at the heart of the production\, a determined group of artists who wanted to make an unforgettable film for post-war audiences. Spectacular.”—Adriana Trigiani\, film director and author of the best-selling The Good Left Undone

SUMMARY:Joe Chuman: The Triumphs and Challenges to Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nThis December 10th marks the 75th anniversary since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In conjunction with the occasion\, the New York Society has put together a series of programs. My talk is a contribution to these events\, acknowledging the importance of the Declaration.The concept of human rights is radical and relatively new. The term did not come into wide use until the administration of Franklin Roosevelt.Historically\, the rights a personal possessed where tagged to qualifications related to sex\, gender\, ethnicity\, religion and social standing. With the human rights idea\, all those qualifiers were swept away. The human rights idea asserts that all people\, without exception\, possess certain fundamental rights issuing from their humanity alone.Since the end of the Cold War\, and the fading of socialism as an ideology\, human rights has done the heavy lifting world-wide of people who have struggled against their oppression and injustice.In the decades after World War II\, human rights has widened the circles of equality to include\, women\, minorities\, LGBT people\, the disabled and other marginalized groups. At the same time\, human rights faces many challenges\, both conceptually and in terms of implementation. While codified into international law by a growing family of more than 100 treaties\, human rights remain primarily aspirational. Their realization ultimately resides in the will of nations and their people to proclaim\, uphold and enforce them. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nMonthly Collection: SSB Food Pantry \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:All The Court's a Stage: The People Versus Lenny Bruce
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this award-winning Broadway cast\, followed by a Q&A with the actors\, playwright Susan Charlotte\, and legendary attorney Marty Garbus\, who helped defend Lenny Bruce at his obscenity trial in 1964. \nThe People Versus Lenny Bruce is the third performance in “All the Court’s A Stage\,” Food for Thought Productions’ series of one-act plays based on cases of legendary defense attorney Marty Garbus. Called “one of the world’s finest trial lawyers\,” Garbus’ clients have included Philip Roth\, Samuel Beckett\, Igor Stravinsky\, John Cheever\, Daniel Ellsberg\, Al Pacino\, Susan Sontag\, and Lenny Bruce. \nIn April 1964\, Lenny Bruce appeared twice at the Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village\, with undercover NYPD detectives in the audience. As he left the stage he was arrested for obscenity\, along with club owners Howard and Elly Solomon. \nBruce’s widely publicized trial lasted six months\, during which was defended by Ephraim London and our special guest Marty Garbus. \nBruce and Howard Solomon were found guilty despite testimony and petitions of support from artists\, writers and educators including Bob Dylan\, Jules Feiffer\, Allen Ginsberg\, Norman Mailer\, Woody Allen\, William Styron\, and James Baldwin\, along with Manhattan journalist and television personality Dorothy Kilgallen and sociologist Herbert Gans. Bruce was sentenced to four months in a workhouse\, dying while on bail awaiting appeal. Solomon later saw Bruce’s conviction overturned. \nWritten by Susan Charlotte • Directed by Anthony Marsellis • Peformed by Jack Wetherall\, Bob Dishy\, Penny Fuller\, Larry Pine\, Michael Citriniti\, and Alex Purcell. \n$25 – In-Person and Online\nClick Here to Purchase Tickets on Eventbrite \nAbout Playwright Susan Charlotte\nSusan’s multi-faceted career started with Prism Blues.

SUMMARY:'Arbor' World Premiere with Artist in Residence Jody Sperling\, Time Lapse Dance\, and Matthew Burtner
DESCRIPTION:The New York Society for Ethical Culture presents an evening of stunning\, nature-inspired works by Eco-Artist-in-Residence Jody Sperling and her Time Lapse Dance ensemble. The program features the world premiere of Arbor\, a work dwelling on the nature of trees. The work is the latest outgrowth of the long climate-engaged collaboration between Sperling as choreographer and environmental composer Matthew Burtner. \nThe music will be performed live for this one-night-only event by the composer himself and a string quartet of musicians from The Met Orchestra. \nThe evening also features performances of other notable Sperling-Burtner collaborations. Wind Rose\, which renders changing atmospheric patterns palpable to sight\, sound\, and touch\, has been described as “a stunning\, spinning white cloud that both moves and is moved by wind” (Karen Hildebrand\, Fjord Review). Plastic Harvest creates a surreal spectacle of plastic proliferation. Collectively\, the evening’s performances stir the senses and provoke contemplation about our relationship to the natural world. \nThe performance will be followed by an artist talkback. \nFREE – Click to RSVP \nTLD Dancers: Frances Barker\, Anika Hunter\, Maki Kitahara\, Nicole Lemelin\, Jody Sperling\, Sarah Tracy & Rathi Varma \nArbor is made possible in part by an ongoing eco-artist-residency at The New York Society for Ethical Culture and with the generous support of the Peck Stacpoole Foundation.
