Open House Speaker Series
Tikvah Online Academy is excited to announce a new conversation series, addressing the animating spirit of our programs as they relate to the questions of the day. Rabbi Mark Gottlieb, Dean of Tikvah Online Academy and Senior Director at the Tikvah Fund, will be joined by some of America’s leading Jewish educators and public intellectuals — Dr. Christine Rosen, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, and Dr. Rachel Fish — in conversation on important questions for Jewish parents. These conversations are an opportunity to explore essential issues in today’s parenting and educational landscape and to learn more about the growing role that Tikvah plays in addressing these challenges.
The series is open to all invested in the education of the rising generation, especially to parents, grandparents, and educators. We invite you to join the conversation and learn more about what Tikvah Online Academy plans to offer in the upcoming 2021-2022 academic year.
Tikvah believes young Jews deserve to understand the most important Jewish and Zionist ideas. We offer high-level online seminars — with master teachers — in the great books, key debates, and heroic figures of Jewish, American, and Western civilization. In the current moment, serious Jewish education is more essential than ever, and Tikvah Online Academy rises to meet the challenge. Applications for our fall semester open August 23rd.

Тимур Шаов - моральный секс времен коронавируса
2021-09-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Center Makor: The Campus, 384 Harvard St., Brookline, MA, 02446, United States
Приглашаем вас на встречу с любимым автором и исполнителем и его новой программой «Моральный секс времён коронавируса».
Цена билета – $50; в день выступления – $60!
Билеты можно приобрести без комиссии в книжном магазине Петрополь по телефону 617-232-8820 или по ссылке: http://petropol.com/browse/fetch.php?id=101611&type=video
Долгожданная встреча состоится после вынужденного перерыва, связанного с пандемией. Тимур будет петь ваши любимые песни, написанные им за все творческие годы. Будет как всегда весело и остроумно!
Тимура Шаова называют Жванецким в авторской песне. Борис Стругацкий сравнивал его творчество с песнями Галича и Юлия Кима, а сам Ким – с песнями Высоцкого и того же Галича. Сам Шаов не ограничивает себя рамками авторской песни, не стремится придерживаться какой-то одной стилистики в творчестве.
На концертах Шаова собирается разнородная публика, которая слушает и рок-музыку, и классику, и авторские песни. Его принимают как своего и на рок-фестивале и на бардовской поляне.
Тимур лауреат таких разных премий, как «Золотой Остап», «Шансон года», премия фонда им. Высоцкого.
Тимур Шаов сейчас один из самых востребованных бардов – у него очень плотный график гастролей по всему миру – Америка, Израиль, Австралия, Германия, Франция, Канада.

Hava Nagila (The Movie)
2021-05-05 19:00 - 20:00
Hava Nagila (The Movie) & Conversation with Director Roberta Grossman
THE SONG YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW.
THE STORY YOU WON’T BELIEVE.
It’s to music what the bagel is to food – a Jewish staple that has transcended its origins and become a worldwide hit. Follow the infectious party song on its fascinating journey from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the cul-de-sacs of America in this hilarious and surprisingly deep film. HAVA NAGILA (The Movie) takes viewers from Ukraine and Israel to the Catskills, Greenwich Village, Hollywood – and even Bollywood – using the song as a springboard to explore Jewish history and identity and to spotlight the cross-cultural connections that can only be achieved through music.
Registration provides a link to stream the movie and to join the conversation.

In the movie, Hava Nagila, Grossman follows the song which becomes a portal into 150 years of Jewish history, culture, and spirituality.
With a passion for history and social justice, Grossman has written, directed, and produced more than 40 hours of film and television. What sets her films apart are high production values, beautiful cinematic craftsmanship, and inspiring protagonists.
In the past ten years, she has directed and produced three other feature documentaries about Jewish history and culture – Blessed is the Match (2008); Above and Beyond (2014) and Who Will Write Our History (2018).
