We are inspired by the beautiful tradition called Caffè Sospeso (or “suspended coffee”), where someone pays not only for their own coffee, but also for an extra one for someone who may not be able to afford it.
This year, we would like to bring that spirit of generosity to our Purim celebration.
By purchasing a ticket at the $54 or $108 level, you become a sponsor for a Holocaust survivor, a low-income family, or an individual with special needs.
Let’s share the joy with those around us!

2026-04-18 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | MA
See Forward Lab: AI Music + Live Violin (Hands-On)
Dear Friends,
We invite you to a special musical evening exploring how live performance and music generative AI can create music together. The event will take place at 6:30pm on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at the Museum of Modern Renaissance, 115 College Ave, Somerville.
Join violinist Natasha Dukach for an interactive program in which live violin playing, audience prompts, and AI-generated variations come together to create a real-time dialogue.
The performance will include improvisation over newly generated material, from Bach-inspired fugue structures to the virtuoso traditions of Sarasate and the rhythmic language of Piazzolla.
This event is part performance, part creative laboratory, offering a rare chance to see how new generative music technologies work in practice (so far), where they surprise us, and how artistic choices remain in human hands.
TICKETS
All proceeds will support the See Forward Ukraine Leadership and Mentorship Program, held annually in Uzhgorod, Ukraine, which prepares young women to become the next generation of leaders during a critical time for the country’s future.
More about the program: see-forward.org/about-the-iml-program

Водевиль с песнями, танцами и переодеваниями
Гениальность актера Лисичкина поставлена под вопрос: его увольняют из театра. Обида выливается на родную дочь, Верочку, которую он хочет выдать замуж за отставного прапорщика, дважды вдовца – Акакия Назарыча Ушицу. Верочку не вдохновляет роль деревенской отставной прапорщицы. Взяв в пособницы свою горничную, Катерину, талантливая девушка дурачит жениха и отца и находит выход из положения. Красочный водевиль с песнями, танцами и переодеваниями будет интересен и взрослым, и детям! В спектакле звучит живая музыка в исполнении Александра Прохорова-Толстого.

Виндзорские насмешницы / The Merry Wives of Windsor
2026-04-25 19:30 - 22:30 (America/New_York) | Театр на крыше, 50 Kearney Road, Needham, 02494, United States
Виндзорские насмешницы
В этой постановке мы предложим вам несколько способов развлечься, в какой бы глуши вы ни жили, а также покажем возможные последствия таких развлечений. Вы увидите, на что способны верные жены, которых пытаются беззастенчивым образом соблазнить самонадеянные повесы. Все это представлено в спектакле по мотивам пьесы Шекспира «Виндзорские насмешницы».
Музыка и костюмы были заказаны заблаговременно в Англии в 1605 году, а потому успели дойти вовремя и будут создавать точную атмосферу того времени.

The Merry Wives of Windsor
With this performance, we would like to spread some optimism and show that no matter how dull the surroundings or how monotonous the routine of daily life, a creative mind can always find ways to entertain itself. When the hedonistic, frivolous, corpulent, and overly confident Sir John Falstaff finds himself in debt, he plots to have the two wealthiest women in Windsor fall in love with him and shower him with passion and gold.
But Mistress Page and Mistress Ford are no easy targets; their retaliation is profound, but also humorous, earning them William Shakespeare’s title: “The Merry Wives of Windsor.”
We invite you to share in the adventures of the citizens of Windsor by attending our abridged, musical production of this comedy.
The play’s simple plot, vibrant colors, exquisite costumes, and catchy music make this show enjoyable for all audiences, as experience proves.

The Depiction of Moses's Image in European Tradition of Visual Art: Michelangelo vs. Rembrandt Share
2026-04-26 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | MA
The Board of Directors of the Center proudly invites you to a session led by our Director, Elena Khanukaeva.
The Depiction of Moses’s Image in European Tradition of Visual Art: Michelangelo vs. Rembrandt Share
The depiction of Moses in the Bible exemplifies the intricate interplay between human experience and divine purpose. The Scripture presents Moses as a child who was miraculously saved from the plight of enslaved Hebrews, subsequently rising to the status of a royal prince, and later becoming an exiled shepherd. He is recognized as the foremost leader of the nation and is esteemed as the greatest of all prophets. In this class, we will examine the image of Moses depicted by Michelangelo and Rembrandt. Despite the fact that these artists portrayed Moses through the framework of Christian tradition, their artistic interpretations shed new light on the understanding of this remarkable figure.
During the class, we will compare and contrast the artistic interpretation in Michelangelo’s statue and Rembrandt’s painting. Furthermore, we will explore the ways these visual representations convey emotional complexity in their artistic work. At the conclusion of the class, we will deepen our understanding of the contribution of both artists to the depth of the text. This class is aimed at a wide audience interested in the interconnection between the Biblical text and Western culture. Participants of the class will gain a new appreciation for the complexity of Moses’ image both in Scripture and in art. They will expand their knowledge of Scripture’s influence on Western Civilization.

She graduated from Michlalah Jerusalem College for Women, where she specialized in Bible study and Jewish philosophy, and later earned her degree in clinical social work from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2000.
While living in Israel, Elana taught advanced courses in Tanach, including in-depth studies of the Prophet Yechezkel and the Twelve Minor Prophets. After relocating to the United States, she continued her psychoanalytic training at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy (BIP), graduating in 2005. In 2025, she completed her psychoanalytic training at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.
Elana is the Clinical Director of the private practice “Power of Connection,” where she provides psychoanalytically oriented treatment to individuals and couples. Fluent in three languages, she brings a strong multicultural sensitivity to her clinical work.
Her professional interests include Lacanian psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic approaches to complex trauma, and multidisciplinary explorations of biblical and psychoanalytic texts. She has been an invited presenter at the conference “Psychology of the Other,” organized by the Center for Psychological Humanities at Boston College, where she spoke on Lacanian concepts of the “Name of the Father.” She has also served as a panelist discussing Freud’s theory of Oedipus and the biblical notion of the Sacrifice of Yitzhak.
In addition to her clinical practice, Elana offers lectures and workshops that deepen and enrich the study of biblical texts through the lens of psychoanalytic theory. She lives in Boston with her husband, an orchestra conductor, and their three children.

Beethoven
2026-05-01 - 2026-05-10 | MA
BEETHOVEN
May 1-10, 2026
368 Hillside Ave, Needham
Eight performances only – limited seating!!
Following two sold-out runs in Fall 2025, Valeriy Pecheykin’s wonderful play Beethoven brings to life 17 pivotal scenes from the legendary composer’s journey, blending archival material with theatrical invention to create a vivid portrait – and an “ode to silence.”
Beethoven is performed in Russian by Arlekin Players Theatre’s resident company, and this run will feature English subtitles projected on screens, marking the first time the play will be accessible to English-speaking audiences. Its initial run last fall marked the play’s international premiere and its first staging outside of Moscow, Russia.
Directed by Yana Gladkikh, star of Arlekin’s award-winning production of The Dybbuk, the revival is inspired by Beethoven’s defiance in the face of encroaching deafness. The production features live performance of Beethoven’s music alongside original compositions by pianist and composer Sarah Infini Takagi.
