Artist’s Reception
Thursday, July 17, 5:00–6:30 PM
🎨 Art That Heals™ Arrives at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH – July 1 to Sept. 25, 2025
Greetings!
In a cultural landscape where overstimulation often masks disconnection, artist Irina Gorbman offers a quiet, powerful antidote: meditative paintings that function as instruments of healing. Following her solo show in SoHo, Gorbman has brought her Art That Heals™ to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center—a series of intuitive oil-on-canvas works imbued with energy, color, and consciousness – on view till September 25th.
📍 Reception Details
Thursday, July 17 | 5:00–6:30 PM
Williamson Building Gallery, 4th Floor
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
One Medical Center Dr, Lebanon, NH 03756 (park in a garage & take an elevator to 4th Floor)
🎥 Installation Preview:
Step inside the space and experience the work before you arrive.

Gorbman’s work is not just seen—it’s felt. Her signature gestural style—born from a personal healing journey after a mini-stroke—channels color frequencies through movement, breath, and presence. Each canvas serves as an energetic “battery” to recharge the body, uplift the spirit, and reframe the room it occupies.
🔸 If you’re seeking a private tour, please reach out directly at igorbman@gmail.com or 508-494-9772.

Parisian Opera Diva in Boston!
2025-07-26 17:00 - 19:00 | Gloucester House of Arts, 19 Old Salem Road, Gloucester, MA, United States
Parisian Opera Diva in Boston!
Dear Friends! Bonjour!
On behalf of Music, Arts & Fashion Productions and Boston International Music Competition, I would like to invite you to a very special concert DEUX VOIX: A Paris-Boston Reunion in Song, on Saturday, July 26th at 5:00 PM, at the beautiful House of Arts in Gloucester, MA—a private oceanside mansion known for its support of the arts.
When I studied in Paris, France, I became friends with a brilliant mezzo-soprano, Nona Javakhidze. She came to Paris on the invitation of the French government as an experienced and promising opera soloist from Tbilisi Opera Theater (Georgia), and received highest awards diploma from the prestigious Ecole Normale d’A. Cortot (where we studied together.) Nona remained in France and enjoys a very successful solo operatic career, performing at the best opera houses in Europe, including at the Opera National de Paris. I went back to the US, and we have not seen each other since, but we kept in touch all these years.
Nona is traveling to the US this summer to make her US debut and to preside as a judge at the Boston International Music Competition (www.BIMC.us) I could not miss this opportunity to spend time with her, and we will do a concert together at the beautiful House of Arts in Gloucester, MA on July 26th at 5PM.
I invite you to join this special Paris-Boston reunion, where Nona and I will perform beloved French repertoire, duets, opera, mélodies, etc. We hope to see you there! And, please, stay for the champagne reception afterwards! It will be a very special time – beautiful nature, friendship, beautiful music at the unique private mansion. Our wonderful hosts, Katya and Kolya Shaplyko, have been instrumental in supporting the “salon” culture in the Boston area. We are excited to be sharing the stage with the brilliant pianist, Levon Hovsepian.

Борис Рыжий: Если в прошлое, лучше трамваем…
Год назад в России отметили 50-летие со дня рождения поэта Бориса Рыжего. Давайте вместе вглядимся в его стихи о недавнем прошлом, и, может быть, лучше поймём происходящее сейчас.
6гo и 7го сентября мы сыграем 3 спектакля в Mosesian Center for the Arts, Watertown.

Бориса Рыжего назвают последним великим, русским поэтом двадцатого века.
В Борисе Рыжем можно найти сходство с Есениным, Маяковским, Пушкиным… Во многих строках его произведений чувствуется воспитание на русской классике, родство с ней и любовь к ней. Его первоочерёдное призвание — поэт составляло главную трагедию его жизни.
Ему выпало стоять на руинах распавшейся страны, наблюдать гибель стольких людей и рассказывать об этом стихами.
Спектакль — поэтическое путешествие во времени, переносящее зрителей в недавнее прошлое в попытке осмыслить настоящее. Поэзия Бориса Рыжего наполнена болью и иронией, любовью и радостью, утратой и самой сутью жизни.
По утверждению Евгения Рейна, «Борис Рыжий был самый талантливый поэт своего поколения».
Биографическая справка:
Борис Борисович Рыжий (8 сентября 1974, Челябинск — 7 мая 2001, Екатеринбург) — русский поэт.
Родился в семье интеллигентов: отец, доктор геолого-минералогических наук, профессор Борис Петрович Рыжий (1938—2004), был геофизиком, мать, Маргарита Михайловна — врачом-эпидемиологом. В детский сад Боря не ходил — был окружен обожанием матери, бабушки Евдокии Сергеевны, рассказывавшей внуку сказки, и двух старших сестер, Елены и Ольги. Отец, несмотря на постоянную занятость, читал сыну стихи Михаила Лермонтова, Сергея Есенина и Александра Блока. В 1980 его семья переехала в Свердловск. Дом, куда переехала семья, оказался в одном из самых криминальных районов неофициальной столицы Урала — Вторчермете. Соседями Рыжих стали уголовники. Систематически заниматься стихосложением Борис начал в четырнадцать лет.
В 1991 году Борис Рыжий поступил в Свердловский горный институт и женился. Через три года (1993) в молодой семье родился сын; в 1997-м окончил отделение геофизики и геоэкологии Уральской горной академии. В 2000-м окончил аспирантуру Института геофизики Уральского отделения РАН.
Всего им было написано более 1300 стихотворений, из которых издано около 350. Его стихи переводились на английский, голландский, итальянский, немецкий языки.
Покончил жизнь самоубийством (повесился). Предсмертная записка оканчивается словами: «Я всех любил. Без дураков».
Похоронен на Нижне-Исетском кладбище.

2025-09-07 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-09-12 19:30 - 21:30 | Театр на крыше, 50 Kearney Road, Needham, 02494, United States
В 22-м году создатель, художественный руководитель и режиссёр театра «Круг» Юрий Рубенчик поставил спектакль по пьесе Николая Коляды «Всеобъемлюще». Премьера этого спектакля прошла на сцене Театре на крыше 15 октября 2022 года.
Со временем актёры первоначального состава Татьяна Хельд и Таня Симхович уехали из Бостона, и в начале 2025 года у Юры возникла идея восстановить спектакль в новом составе. Работать над восстановлением спектакля было предложено Евгению Верниковскому.
К сожалению, Юрия Рубенчика больше с нами нет, и в память о нём 7 сентября театр «Круг» показывает обновлённую постановку, которая была завершена этим летом на сцене, любезно предоставленной Театром на крыше театру «Круг» для репетиций и показа спектакля.

Режиссёр оригинальной постановки Юрий Рубенчик
Режиссёр обновлённой постановки Евгений Верниковский

7 сентября; начало в 19:00
12 сентября; начало в 19:30
Автор назвал эту пьесу легкой комедией, и театр «Круг» решил с ним не спорить.
А как иначе воспринимать жизнь, которая не очень удалась?
Героям спектакля вроде нечем похвастаться – ни семьи, ни карьеры, и одинокая старость маячит на горизонте.
Но при этом есть великая преданность театру.
Временами это комедия, переходящая в фарс, временами – щемящая лирика о прошлом, об одиночестве, о чем-то всеобъемлющем…

2025-09-21 18:30 - 20:30
Act-A-Ton: Schmooze and Strategize
Join Action for Post-Soviet Jewry for an evening that flips the script on traditional nonprofit events. Instead of listening to a panel or presentation, we’re inviting YOU—change-makers in your 20s, 30s, and 40s—to step directly into the action.
We’ll kick things off by presenting some of the real pain points and challenges we’re facing right now—issues around advocacy, outreach, logistics, donor engagement, digital presence, or program expansion in Ukraine and beyond.
You’ll then break into small groups based on your interests and skillsets—marketing, tech, social impact, strategy, fundraising, storytelling, etc.—and work with a facilitator to brainstorm bold, fresh, and practical solutions.
This isn’t just a think tank. It’s a launchpad. Ideas generated during the session will have the chance to become real projects—with opportunities for YOU to lead or contribute as a volunteer, advisor, or collaborator moving forward.
Whether you’re passionate about humanitarian work, driven by Jewish values, or just eager to use your skills for something meaningful, this is your chance to make an immediate and lasting impact.
Come for the mission. Stay for the energy. Leave with a project.
Food, drinks, and great company provided.
Registration closes on October 12!

A Conversation & Fundraiser with Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07)
2025-10-03 18:00 - 19:30
A Conversation & Fundraiser with Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07)
Moderated by Harvard Professor Danielle Allen
Friday, October 3, 2025 | 6:00 to 7:30 PM ET
Address provided upon RSVP | Concord, MA
*Please click HERE to RSVP and donate*
Like many Americans, I have been looking for ways to stand up to the chaos, extremism, and attacks on democracy and national security we are now witnessing. One answer: support leaders with courage and integrity who are willing to fight back. That is why I am co-hosting a conversation and fundraiser with Congressman Eugene Vindman in Concord on Friday, October 3. Please find attached an invitation with additional information. I hope you will join us.
You may remember Eugene as the Army colonel who helped expose Trump’s abuse of power during the infamous Ukraine call that led to Trump’s first impeachment. That moment made the Vindman name synonymous with patriotism, honor, and service. But standing up for democracy cost Eugene his military career.
Rather than walk away, Eugene ran for and won Virginia’s 7th district – one the most competitive in the country. In just six months, he has become a national leader on national security, veteran’s issues, and protecting working families and civil servants. Now, MAGA Republicans, far-right billionaires like Elon Musk, and even Trump’s U.S. Attorney are targeting him. But Eugene is not backing down.
Please join me and my fellow hosts on October 3 for an evening with Eugene Vindman, moderated by Harvard professor and democracy expert Danielle Allen. This will be an intimate gathering focused on what is at stake and how we can help Eugene continue fighting for our freedom and values.
All levels of support are most appreciated and outlined through the RSVP link below.

Newton Neighbor in Need of Support
2025-10-23 18:00 - 20:00
Dear Neighbors:
While I look forward to teaching, writing, editing, or otherwise collaborating with and supporting you, I wanted to ask you to do what you can to help a neighbor in need.
Jeanie Gruber is a therapist-turned-caterer who splits her time between New Orleans and Newton. As the founder of WISHDISH, she visits homeless shelters (including Common Cathedral in Boston), where she asks the guests about the dishes they wish they could enjoy again and then cooks them for the entire community!
For years, Jeanie has been funding and cooking for the organization on her own. To grow WISHDISH, she has released a cookbook featuring recipes and stories from the Common Cathedral community, with proceeds supporting the program.
On October 23 at 6 PM, I will be interviewing Jeanie at Boston Public Market as part of my new food-related author talk series. I hope that you can join us and that you will consider coming by, buying the book, and sharing the news with other neighbors so Jeanie can grow the organization and help more people.
Also, if you can think of other places to host events that feature either Jeanie or any of the other authors who have appeared on my nationally syndicated author talk show and international podcast, please let me know.
Thank you!
Literally,
Matt
