SUMMARY:A Haggadah\, A Collection\, A Synagogue: The Harold Greenbaum Rare Book Collection with Jane Rothstein
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by NOBS \n\n7:00 PM  8:30 PM\n\nCongregation Mishkan Or\, a Reform Jewish synagogue in Beachwood\, Ohio\, is the steward of an extraordinary collection of more than 200 rare volumes of Hebrew and other Jewish books from the 15th-20th centuries.  Dr. Harold Greenbaum\, a Cleveland physician\, donated this collection to his synagogue\, Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple\, one of Mishkan Or’s legacy congregations\, in the late 1960s.  There it remained safe\, but relatively unexplored until Fairmount Temple’s merger with The Temple-Tifereth Israel in 2024\, when librarian and archivist Jane Rothstein began to inventory and research this hidden treasure. Aside from being amazed and delighted\, what does a synagogue librarian and her library do with a collection like this? \nAlong the way\, Mishkan Or received a grant from the State Library of Ohio and the Ohio Preservation Council\, with funds from the Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS)\, for the conservation of one book from the Greenbaum Collection. We chose a Passover Haggadah published in Venice in 1663.  This conservation project offers an opportunity to treat one very damaged book and explore the celebration of Passover across centuries. The project also helps open a window onto the collection\, raising awareness of it within the congregation and the wider community\, and prompting conversations about the best ways to care for and share these books. \nJane will discuss the collection and share volumes and photos.  She will also discuss the journey of the Haggadah\, from its publication in 17th-century Venice to its home in a 21st-century synagogue library in Ohio and through the conservation process. \nFor a link\, go here: https://www.nobsbooks.org/events

SUMMARY:Celebrating People’s History
DESCRIPTION:The Celebrate People’s History poster series has organized and curated by Josh MacPhee since 1998. The over 200 posters in the ongoing series are rooted in the do-it-yourself tradition of mass-produced and distributed political propaganda\, but detourned to embody principles of democracy\, inclusion\, and group participation in the writing and interpretation of history. Over more than 25 years\, MacPhee has worked with hundreds of artists\, designers\, authors\, students\, activists\, and organizers to find events\, groups\, and people who have moved forward the collective struggle of humanity to create a more equitable and just world\, who in turn have generated a diverse set of posters that bring to life successful moments in the history of social justice struggles. The posters tell stories from the subjective position of the creators\, and are often the stories of underdogs\, those written out of history. The goal of this project is not to tell a definitive history\, but to suggest a new relationship to the past\, where all of us see the crafting of history as something we both can and should participate in. \nA virtual presentation by Josh MacPhee\, designer\, artist\, archivist\, activist\, and founding member of both Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative and Interference Archive. \nTo register\, click here.
