Veretski Pass is featured at Third Sunday's Concert on January 20th, St. Albans, 4PM

Third Sunday Concerts opens the 2019 series with the

Berkeley Klezmer Trio, Veretski Pass, in a CD Release Program:
The Magid Chronicles

Sunday, January 20, 2019, 4-6 pm

St. Alban's ?Episcopal Church, 1501 Washington Street, Albany 94706

Admission: ?General $25; Seniors/Students $20; ?Under 12 FREE

Veretski Pass presents a CD release concert of their 5th production, The Magid Chronicles, an instrumental collection based on ?pieces collected by Sofia Magid, the Jewish ethnographer who worked intensively to document Jewish music in Belarus and Ukraine during Stalin’s regime in the 1920s and 30s. Magid’s 600 recordings have been left untouched since they were created, and ?contain rare examples of women’s songs and instrumental pieces. Next to the instrumentals and songs collected by Magid, we include music collected by Magid’s Kiev counterpart, Moyshe Beregovski, among others, and music from Turkey, Greece and Rumania. ?And as always, we combine the archival with the creative impulse to achieve something new, with new compositions, arrangements and improvisations by the members of the trio. Sometimes raucous, sometimes meditative, this new program is a true melding of past, present and future.

Persian New Year Festival, Booth Application, Tuesday, March 19, Berkeley

#85

I would like to invite you to participate in the Persian New Year Festival with a booth.? Attached is the application. It is due back to me by Feb. 15 so if you are interested, please fill it out and mail it in with your payment ASAP.?

?

Here's some info about the festival:

?

Persian Center will be hosting its 20^th Annual Chaharshanbeh Souri at the 2000 block of Durant Avenue in Berkeley:? Jump over bonfires on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, at Persian Center, 2029 Durant Avenue in Berkeley from 6-10 PM, to celebrate the change of seasons and welcome spring. A Persian ritual passed down since ancient Zoroastrian times, the Persian New Year Festival of Fire, called Chaharshanbeh Souri, (which means ‘Eve of Wednesday”) is held on the last Tuesday night in winter, just before the Vernal Equinox or first moment of spring. This is the time of year when Persians around the world will be celebrating Nowruz (New Year).?

?

As the sun sets, people jump over bonfires to say farewell to the coldness, paleness, and sickness of winter, and welcome the redness, warmth and energy of spring; they sing, “Zardi-ye man az toh, sorkhi-ye toh az man," which translates to, "May your rosy red glow be mine, and my sickly yellow pallor be yours." The tradition, rooted in Zoroastrianism (which predates Islam), serves as a cultural festival for Iranian and?Iranic?people and holds no religious significance.

?

Outside, in addition to the bonfires, there will be Persian music, food, arts & crafts booths for children, and stations for various cultural organizations.? Inside the Persian Center, there will be a traditional altar display called haftseen (seven ‘s’s), with seven items beginning with the letter ‘s’: sabzeh (barley/lentil sprouts) symbolizing rebirth, samanu (wheat germ pudding) symbolizing affluence, senjed (dried oleaster fruit) symbolizing love, seer (garlic) symbolizing heath, seeb (apple) symbolizing beauty, 蝉辞尘ā辩 (sumac fruit) symbolizing sunrise, and serkeh (vinegar) symbolizing longevity & wisdom.? The display also includes a mirror, colored eggs, sweets, and candles.

?

By engaging the non-Persian community in the Festival of Fire, the organization hopes to allow a glimpse into beautiful Persian traditions and the culture of the Iranian-American community in the US.? The event which is hosted by the Persian Center is a free, family-friendly, non-alcoholic event held outdoors on the 2000 block of Durant Avenue, rain or shine.?

?

Persian Center, celebrating its 27^th anniversary, is a non-profit, charitable 501(c3) organization whose mission is to create an environment in which to conduct social, cultural, educational, and recreational activities designed to strengthen the sense of identity and integrity of all Iranians and Iranian descendants, and to engage individuals interested in or related to Persian community and culture. ?It is one of a few secular Persian organizations in the United States.? For more information contact info@... or 510.334.6523.

?

Hope to see you jumping over the fires!

Actors Ensemble of Berkeley announces?auditions?for our staged reading of A Dybbuk or Between Two Worlds, an expressionistic drama based on the mystical concept from ?asidic Jewish folklore of the?, a disembodied human spirit that, because of former sins, wanders restlessly until it finds a haven in the body of a living person.

From 1912 until 1914, From S. Ansky (1863-1920), one of the most famous writers of Yiddish literature, conducted an ethnographic study of Jewish communities in Eastern Europe.? Ansky recorded stories, songs, rituals and superstitions, which later provided material for his own writing.? Like other Yiddish? writers Ansky wrote in both realistic and supernatural veins; the latter style a simplified version of Jewish mysticism, or Kabbalah.? Ansky had easy access to the basis of Kabbalistic literature, because the Jewish Chasidic movement of the late nineteenth century had already changed the incredibly complex stories of the Kabbalah to make them available to an uneducatedpublic.

Tony Kushner's adaptation of Ansky's A Dybbuk explores the themes of lust and desire, of worship and holiness, and corruption and sin.? A Dybbuk is a story of a shtetl romance, in which a young student, Chonen, falls in love with the daughter of the richest man in town, Leah.? Sender, Leah's father, will never accept the impoverished Chonen as a husband for his daughter.

Auditions?are?Sunday/Monday, February 10 &11 from?7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.?at Temple Beth Hillel in Richmond.? All races, ethnicities and genders are welcome.?

Poetry Reading February 13, 2019 at 7:30 pm ACCI Gallery

#97

POETRY READING TO CELEBRATE TRANSCENDENT LOVE?

The ceremony is February 13, 2019, at ACCI Gallery

?

As part of its ongoing 60th anniversary celebration, and in conjunction with Valentine's Day, ACCI Gallery will hold a?poetry reading?on?Feb. 13, 2019.?The ceremony starts at 7:30 p.m. at ACCI (1652 Shattuck Ave. at Lincoln St.). Refreshments will be served at this free event.

The poet in the spotlight is Georgia-based?Lisa Anne Smartt,?a linguist and educator reading from her 2018 work?Veil: Poems from Across the Threshold.?She believes she channeled the poems in this volume from the spirit of her dead father, the poet Morton Felix.

Just weeks after he died, Smartt heard his voice asking that she transcribe poems meant for?Susan Felix,?his wife of of 54 years (and art ambassador to the City of Berkeley). Smartt didn't know whether she were truly hearing his spirit or merely imagining it, but she found the poems beautiful, so she collected them to honor his life and love.?

The poems reflect an expansive vision, as if from a perspective much greater than ours. Rafael Gonzalez, Berkeley's poet laureate, writes, "And whose poems are they? Lisa's? Her father Morton's from beyond the threshold? It matters not. What matters are the poems themselves, celebrations of life and of love, lyrical, tender and passionate ..."

In her work, Smartt has long focused on language and consciousness. In 2017 she published?Words at the Threshold,?in which she analyzed people's dying words, finding that when language is not literal or clear, it often reflects unusual and expanded perspectives. Her 2018 novel?Cante Bardo,?a tale of a flamenco singer making peace with the past before returning to Earth for a new life, also feels "channeled" from beyond.?

Phrases from poems in?Veil?will be on display at ACCI during the reading. Susan Felix chose the phrases and inscribed them into pit-fired ceramic plaques.

Stay Amazed, Susan

Background:

CITY OF JOY, the film, directed by first-time director Madeleine Gavin, follows the first class of women at a revolutionary leadership center in eastern Congo called City of Joy, from which the film derives its title, and weaves their journey as burgeoning leaders with that of the center’s founders (a devout Congolese doctor Dr. Denis Mukwege (2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner), women's rights activist Christine Schuler-Deschryver (Director of City of Joy and V-Day Congo) and radical feminist Eve Ensler (author of The Vagina Monologues and Founder of V-Day/One Billion Rising) - three individuals who imagined a place where women who have suffered horrific rape and abuse can heal and become powerful voices of change for their country.

Immediately following the screening, audience members will be invited to RISE and participate in the One Billion Rising “Break the Chain” dance, as well as a Q&A with City Of Joy Co-Founders Christine Schuler Deschryver and Eve Ensler, moderated by She The People Founder Aimee Allison. ?

The City of Joy

Conceived, owned, and run by local Congolese (and supported by V-Day), the has flourished since it first opened its doors in June 2011, healing women from their past trauma through therapy and life skills programming while providing them with the essential ingredients needed to move forward in life – love and community. 开云体育 90 survivors of gender violence aged 18 to 30 at a time, 1,200 women leaders have graduated from the City of Joy. They are forces of energy and determination, entrepreneurs of small business, initiators of collectives, journalists, restaurants owners and farmers with new land, educators and advocates on sexual violence, volunteers in a self-created recruiting network for new women at COJ, immigration workers, tailors, students, herbalists, and more.

(BAR) is a network of feminist artists, spiritual leaders, and activists dedicated to ending violence against women and girls. We formed in 2012 in Oakland as a call to action from V-Day’s One Billion Rising movement. Our performance rituals help communities heal from trauma and transform pain into power.

Proceeds go to local front-line organizations?like IDEX, 1000 Mothers to Prevent Violence, the American Indian Child Resource Center, Himalayan Sisterhood, the Radical Monarchs, and Black Lives Matter.

?is the biggest mass action to end violence against women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence) in human history. The campaign, which launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime.
