Mon 1 Aug to Fri 30 Sep. Exploring Jewish Life in the Deep South Photographs by Bill Aron Exhibit | Brechner Gallery Exploring Jewish life in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi echoes the theme of journey that has been a part of Jewish life for centuries. Jews have journeyed to escape oppression, to seek opportunity, and to preserve their heritage. The journey continues today as the southern Jewish population shift from small towns to metropolitan centers. The southern Jewish experience is about their work places and sacred places, the people that live in the communities, and how their Jewish lives are changing. Each of these areas is explored in the Jewish photographic road trip. On loan from the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience.

Thu 4 Aug. The Rabbis teach that on Mt. Sinai God revealed to Moses both the Written Torah and the Oral Torah. In this course we will explore the relationship between the two and the different ways in which Oral Torah is expressed. Namely, through close study of several key texts, we will consider the creative modes of textual interpretation the Rabbis of the Mishnah and Talmud used to derive law (halakha), and find endless meaning in the words of the Torah.

Thu 4 Aug, 6-8 pm. Contrary to common belief, Nazi Germany’s legal assault on the Jews between 1933 and 1945 was not unique in its racial character nor its segregationist aims. There are remarkable similarities between America’s own Jim Crow laws and those in Nazi Germany. As with many Nazi attacks against the Jews, the Nazis took ideas and practices that were common in their own and other cultures and radicalized them to suit their needs. This exhibit will examine the Jim Crow laws — with examples from Houston’s segregationist past — and the Nuremberg laws. The public is invited to a free preview reception at from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, 2011. Admission is free, but advance registration is required for this reception.

Applebaum-Driker Theater From Billy Graham to the Baal Shem Tov: A Jewish Boy’s Flight from the South in the Time of Sputnik Benjamin Feldman, New York City historian, author, raconteur, and "New York Wanderer" blogmaster delights the mind’s eye of history, riding the tall-tale bus with stories of growing up Jewish in a small Southern city in the time of Sputnik. Immersed among foot-washing Baptist neighbors and their revival-tent summers, Benjamin Feldman found his Yiddishkayt by fleeing to New York, first with his nose in a book of Damon Runyon, then off at age 17 to Jewish Gotham for the next 40 years. His love of Yiddish and stories of growing up down South are filled with delicious idioms and elegiac endings -- tartly observing the treasures of life. 1021 West Street, Amherst, 01002.
