It’s impossible not to recognize Svetlana Portnyanskaya; each time she reveals a new facet of her inexhaustible talent. Her extraordinary voice allows her to experience the music anew each time\, creating the miracle of the birth of true art before the eyes of the audience. \nThe concert program will feature the best and most beloved Jewish songs – both traditional and modern in Hebrew\, romances\, Eastern European and Latin American music\, masterpieces of world pop music – such a comprehensive repertoire is within Svetlana Portnyanskaya’s power\, as is her delightful skill and piercing sincerity. \nRU Светлана Портнянская – певица\, творчество которой не перестает удивлять и восхищать многочисленных поклонников в разных странах.\nКаждая песня\, исполненная необыкновенным\, берущим за сердце голосом\, задевает струны души всех\, кто сидит в этот вечер в зале. Светлана с первой ноты берет зрителя в плен и не отпускает до мгновения\, пока не затихнет последняя нота .\nНа ее концерты можно приходить бесконечно\, и это всегда будет новый спектакль\, который дает большая Актриса. Светлану Портнянскую невозможно не узнать\, она всякий раз раскрывает новую грань своего неиссякаемого таланта. Ее необыкновенный голос позволяет каждый раз проживать музыку по-новому\, на глазах у зрителей творя чудо рождения настоящего искусства. \nВ программе концерта прозвучат лучшие и любимые еврейские песни – как традиционные\, так и современные на иврите\, романсы\, восточно-европейская\, латиноамериканская музыка\, шедевры мировой эстрады — такой всеобъемлющий репертуар подвластен Светлане Портнянской – как и само восхитительное мастерство и пронзающая искренность.

SUMMARY:Art About the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Art About the Holocaust\nUN Holocaust Remembrance Day \nExhibition and Film Screening\nScreening of the documentary film The Lost Brothers\, Israel.\nAn exhibition of graphic art\, photographs\, and wood inlay work.\nArtworks by Alexander Gassel\, Andrey Gagarin\, and Mikhail Faktorovich. \nGrand Opening\nTuesday\, January 27\, 7:30 p.m.\nWednesday\, January 28\, 7:30 p.m.\nThursday\, January 29\, 7:30 p.m. \nTickets – $18 \nThe exhibition is on display until February 10\nGroup visits are welcome \nAdditional exhibition hours:\nFebruary 1: 4-6 р.м. and 6-8 р.м.\nFebruary 3: 6-8 р.м.\nFebruary 4: 6-8 р.м.\nFebruary 10: 6-8 р.м.\nIf you want to organize group or personal viewing at convenient time\, contact us at centermakor@gmail.com \nCommunity Hub\n1320 Centre St.\, Newton \nTICKETS \n  \nAlexander Gassel is a Russian-American artist and designer. Blending the avant-garde with traditional Russian iconography and combining ancient symbols with contemporary subjects\, Gassel creates surrealist works that reflect his cultural heritage alongside his experience of life in America.\nAlexander Gassel uses ancient techniques employed in the creation of icon paintings. He paints with egg yolk tempera\, making his own color pigments by grinding natural stones and minerals\, such as malachite\, cinnabar\, or lapis into powder\, which he then mixes with egg yolk. The artist often applies gold or silver leaf on the paintings. Blending the avant-garde with traditional Russian iconography\, combining ancient symbols with contemporary subjects\, Gassel creates surrealist works that reflect his cultural heritage alongside his experience of life in America.\nLearn more about Alexander Gassel and his works at alexandergassel.com \nAndrey Gagarin\nI am a 74-year-old psychiatrist with no formal photographic education\, but I have been making photographs since the age of twelve. My work arises from observation rather than instruction — from standing still\, listening\, and looking carefully at the world in front of me.\nThe image of Birkenau was taken six years ago using infrared optics. I chose infrared not for effect\, but because it reveals what ordinary sight cannot: the quiet trace of time\, the way memory lingers in light long after people have disappeared. For me\, this photograph is not a document of a place\, but an encounter with history — a way of seeing underlying presence and absence at the same moment.\nPhotography\, like psychiatry\, is an act of attention. It asks you to stay\, to witness\, and to hold what is often difficult to hold. This is what I try to do with my images.\n\n			\n		 \nMichael Farro (Mikhail Faktorovich) — Marquetry\nmichaelfarro.art\nMichael Farro was born in Bobruisk\, Belarus. He studied at MIIT in Moscow and earned a Ph.D. in Economics. Michael works as a computer programmer and has taught computer science at Boston University. In parallel with his technical career\, he pursues marquetry — creating narrative wood veneer panels that explore memory\, history\, and human experience. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife.\n\n\n			\n		\n\nThis event takes place at our Community Hub located at 1320 Centre St.\, Newton\, 02459. \nParking is available between the buildings or on the ramp behind the open bar gate.

SUMMARY:Фундаментальная ЙОГА и энергоинформационное развитие
DESCRIPTION:Фундаментальная ЙОГА и энергоинформационное развитие\nсо Светланой Санберг\n\nЕсли Вы мечтаете внедрить в свою жизнь благостные полезные привычки\, но всё время находите оправдания и откладываете ЗАБОТУ о себе до лучших времён\, то я приглашаю Вас на занятия. Теорию и практики отделяет внутренний барьер – отсутствие чувства заботы о себе. Жизнью и здоровьем личности никто не может распоряжаться\, кроме её самой. Работа со своим организмом – внутренняя обязанность каждого существа на Земле. \nЙОГА – это не болтовня а только практика. Это наука о Жизни. \nИнформационное развитие человека раскрывает творческие способности. Это достигается за счёт упражнений аутотренинга по развитию фантомных чувств\, сверхсознания.

SUMMARY:Николайка Йе. Новые добрые песни.
DESCRIPTION:Николайка Йе\nНовые добрые песни\nЖивой авторский концерт в день рождения \n\n\n20 ноября\nДвери открыты с 7:00 рм. Начало в 7:30 рм.\nБилеты $35; $45 у дверей. \nБИЛЕТЫ \nМы продаём билеты через платформу Zeffy.

АНОНС! \nЕсли вы будете не очень далеко от Бостона в четверг 20 ноября\, то в этот вечер\, как раз в мой день рождения\, я рад пригласить всех на свой авторский живой концерт “Новые добрые песни” — вечер нескучной музыки и слов\, летящий на волне взаимоприятных чувств. \nЯ буду рад поделиться с вами прежними и свежими сочинениями о жизни и смерти\, любви и воспоминаниям о ней\, радости и грусти\, прошлом и будущем\, смехе и надежде\, да и всём остальном\, что радует\, утешает\, помогает улыбнуться и вообще не вешать нос. Если удастся\, то нарисую полную и внятную картину моего понимания мироздания. \nЯ чувствую\, что сейчас многим из нас не помешает такая передышка от сложной повседневности. \nТак что приходите за хорошим настроением\, теплом и улыбками! Даже если будет грусть\, то только светлая! Всё\, кроме уныния\, хандры и прочей злобы дня. \nЯ сочиняю для себя — так\, как мне нравится\, как я вижу и чувствую. Наружу это выходит в виде мягкой мелодичной музыки\, обитающей там\, где переплетаются босса-нова\, джаз\, реггей\, софт-рок\, вальс\, попса и фолк. К этой музыке сами собой приходят слова. Иногда быстро\, иногда долго\, иногда десятилетиями. Вслушайтесь в них. Там за обычными словами я положил вторые и третьи смыслы для внимательного слушателя. Там\, где рождаются картины\, воспоминания и чувства. \nНаряду с “новыми добрыми” вы услышите также знакомые вам зачастую с детства те самые “старые добрые” песни и мелодии других авторов\, из фильмов\, из телепередач\, к которым у меня сочинились осмысленные слова\, и получились новые или совсем другие истории. \nДвери распахнутся в 19:00. Спешите занять лучшие места! Начало концерта ровно в 19:30. \nПолный кэш-бар со всевозможными радостями\, вплоть до крепких\, для всех кто уже 21+. В антракте я планирую смешной конкурс “Поздравь именинника” для самых смелых\, даже с призами и подарками. \nПо окончании концерта мы можем продолжать радовать себя и всех вокруг\, устроив джем-сейшн и даже караоке. \nБудет по-настоящему тёпло\, живо и по-доброму весело. Сделаем вечер\, который запомнится надолго! \nБилеты $35 онлайн или $45 на входе. Количество мест ограничено\, так что не ждите\, что будет лучшее время\, чтобы зарезервировать места на этом празднике жизни! \nПриходите и приводите друзей! Буду рад увидеть всех! \nВаш\nНиколайКа. \nP.S. В концерте в какой-то момент появится мой хороший друг\, уникальный сочинитель неслыханных песен\, которого зовут… Впрочем\, его имя я не стану называть. Пусть будет пока Mystery Guest. И если мы его уговорим\, то он возможно споёт нам пару-тройку своих шедевров. Короче\, вы всё увидите и услышите сами. \nДо встречи! Ура! \n\nThis event takes place at our Community Hub located at 1320 Centre St.\, Newton\, 02459. \nParking is available between the buildings or on the ramp behind the open bar gate. Newton Centre T Station is 6 minutes away by foot. \nFind Center Makor on the display by the entrance door and call us.
