Join the AMS-JSMSG in a conversation broadening the scope of Jewish American history that includes the vivid, complicated, yet often overlooked experience of Jews in the Southern United States. A focus on New Orleans offers the opportunity to consider Jewish music within the context of American popular music, histories of global trade, American crossroads, waterways, and more.
This curated program features multi-instrumentalist, klezmer music expert, and proud Southerner Mark Rubin, along with presentation by Tine Rassalle, curator at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience. The concert-lecture will be followed by a Q+A, moderated by JSMSG board members, Samantha Madison Cooper (Harvard University) and Zeke Levine (New York University).
