As our inaugural Zucker/Goldberg Center community event, Menachem Daum joins us
from the Holy Land (Brooklyn) to screen his two best known works to-date. After the
screenings, Daum will discuss how his priorities (and films) have changed over time, and brief us on his current documentary projects that are bringing him to Poland and to Arab villages in Israel.

If there is such a thing as the traditional path to Hollywood, filmmaker Menachem Daum did not take it. Then again, he still lives in Brooklyn.

QUICHES, KUGELS, AND COUSCOUS

Joan Nathan takes us into kitchens in Paris, Alsace, and the Loire Valley; she visits the bustling Belleville market in Little Tunis in Paris; she breaks bread around the observation of Shabbat and the celebration of holidays. Now she gives us the fruits of her quest, kosher recipes and the often moving stories behind them, interlaced with the tumultuous two-thousand-year history of the Jewish presence in France.

Bagels, coffee, and orange juice will be served in Arnold Hall (96 Wentworth St) beginning at 9:00am. The event is free and open to the public.
