MSM Summer 2020 | Musical Theatre

Enjoy this heartwarming video performance featuring five fabulous MSM Summer Musical Theatre students ✨ The students, aged 8–12, rehearsed for six hours of virtual class time before completing this video project with the help of their enthusiastic family members.

Director Jeanai La Vita writes, “I chose the theme ‘home’ as we are all spending so much more time in our homes these days. You will see a musical theatre journey ranging from the fun and peace of being at home to the ‘revolting times’! I wanted to inspire my students to embrace the great opportunity we have to persevere against the odds to be creative at the highest level! I am so proud of what we have accomplished together! I hope our collective enthusiasm and energy is as inspiring for everyone who sees this as it has been for all of us to create and share!”

Remembering the Pandemic: Learning from Yehuda Amichai

 

A webinar with Dr. Barbara Mann, Chana Kekst Professor of Jewish Literature, JTS.

Part of Times of Crisis and Possibility, an online series with JTS faculty and fellows.

What will we remember from this pandemic? And how will we preserve and pass down the memory of those we’ve lost to future generations? Through a close reading of Yehuda Amichai’s “And Who Will Remember the Rememberers?”, a poem sequence exploring Israel’s memorialization of 1948, we will reflect on the elusiveness of memory, the limits of public forms of memorializing and mourning, and the paradoxical relationship between memory and forgetting.
