SUMMARY:Music of the 50s Part III with David Cheney
DESCRIPTION:Music of the 50s was in some ways more revolutionary than 60s music in that it blew away centuries of accumulated racial and social proprieties in America and around the world. US pop charts in the early 50s were dominated by remnants of 40s big band era\, with simple and melodic ballads by such vocalists as Patti Page and Frank Sinatra. But everything changed in 1955 with the release of Rock Around the Clock. The new R&R\, the birthright of the baby boomers\, united black and white teens in a common culture and softened their prejudices–while dividing teens from their parents\, the mass media\, and even the govt. Join us as trace the evolution of 50s music in three sessions (early\, mid\, and late 50s) and share memories of a seemingly simpler and happier time.

DESCRIPTION:Artists\, captains of industry\, showmen — all were among the men and women who\, from the time of the Civil War through the Great Depression\, had unique and often lavish homes built upon the precipices of the New Jersey Palisades. Using newly discovered letters and diaries they have transcribed from the Miles family\, historical interpreter Eric Nelsen will bring the story of the grand estates — and the families and servants who lived at them — into vibrant focus. Eric Nelsen was hired as a seasonal employee at the Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey in 1992. He earned his bachelor’s degree in English from Montclair State University in 1997\, and the next year became a full-time historical interpreter at the park. He oversees the park’s historic Kearney House\, where he’s helped to develop a unique “living history” program based on the house’s role as a nineteenth-century Hudson River tavern and homestead. In the office\, he supervises park publications\, including the njpalisades.org website\, brochures\, and interpretive signs. On days off\, Eric enjoys being outdoors\, getting into or onto the water\, cycling\, and time travel.

SUMMARY:Reflections on the Refugee Experience: Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special opportunity to hear the voices of refugees in our community\, and learn what you can do to support them. \nAbout this event \nMore people than ever before are displaced from their homes due to crises\, and displacement lasts longer than ever.

This year\, the Shames JCC on the Hudson\, the JCC of Mid-Westchester and WJCI invite you to hear the stories of three refugees and learn about some of the actions we can take right here in our Westchester community to support recently arrived refugees. \nPlease bring a packet of diapers to donate to a local newly arrived refugee family\, an effort coordinated by WJCI. \nChildcare is available free of charge for a limited number of participants! \nMust show proof of vaccination; masks are optional.

SUMMARY:Gross National Happiness: A New Measure for Countries with David Cheney
DESCRIPTION:Bhutan is known for using an unconventional measure of development since 1972: Gross National Happiness (GNH). Rather than using traditionally narrow economic criteria\, Bhutan assesses its well-being on the basis of sustainable and equitable socio-economic development\, environmental protection\, promotion of culture\, and good governance. Bhutan’s use of the GNH principles helped mobilize its whole population to avoid even a single COVID-19 death in 2020. Its positive experience offers lessons for other countries and spawned the World Population Review’s Happiness Report in 2002\, which assesses the level of happiness in 149 countries. \n

SUMMARY:Prenatal Yoga (FREE Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to support the journey to birth. Students will be guided through a yoga practice specifically tailored to support the pregnant body and alleviate the discomforts of pregnancy. Students will also be offered breathing and meditation practices. The combination of these practices is intended to support the mind\, the body\, and the heart as one prepares for both the physical and emotional aspects of birth and new motherhood. Class begins with a voluntary brief check-in where students are invited to connect with one another in this shared experience. This vital part of the practice helps to build community. This class is suitable for all levels. \nAbout Tori Cronk \nTori has been teaching group and private yoga sessions and facilitating women’s circles in the Rivertowns for the past 7 years.

SUMMARY:Art Lecture with Suzanne Altman

Renowned for his powerful paintings of American life and scenery\, Winslow Homer (1836-1910) remains a beloved and consequential figure whose art continues to appeal to broad audiences.

SUMMARY:The Jewish Roots of Flamenco with Anna de la Paz
DESCRIPTION:Flamenco is an art form that arose in Spain\, influenced by various populations passing through or living in the southern region of Andalusia. Beginning in the third century BC\, Gypsies\, Sephardic Jews\, Christians\, and Moors all contributed to Andalusian culture. This presentation will discuss flamenco and its Jewish connection. Anna de la Paz is a Spanish dance artist specializing in classical and folkloric Spanish dances. After living in Spain and studying with such great master teachers as Mariemma and Pedro Azorín\, she moved to New York City in 1999 and began working with Gabriela Granados and American Bolero Dance Company. As a freelance artist\, she has performed throughout the New York area at various venues including Carnegie Hall. Anna de la Paz works in collaboration with mezzo-soprano Anna Tonna on many productions including\, “Music and Dance in the times of the Duchess of Alba (1762-1802)”\, created for the Hispanic Society of America in New York City. \n  \nShe is the creator and producer of her own shows\, which include Alegría Española\, Migración and Memorias\, and was on the creative team for Making Music Dance\, a cross-fusion of flamenco\, tap and world music. She was co-director of Walk to the Beat\, an annual improvisational music and dance festival in Nyack\, NY. In 2017\, Ms. de la Paz was invited to perform in the Canary Islands\, Spain at the Festival Atlántico in Gran Canaria. Anna de la Paz has been invited as a lecturer on Spanish dance at area colleges\, universities and symposia\, including the Foundation for Iberian Music’s international conferences on Enrique Granados in New York City and the “Transatlantic Malagueñas and Zapateados in Music Song and Dance” at University of California\, Riverside. In 2018\, Anna de la Paz co-founded with Anna Tonna\, Hispanic Culture Arts\, an arts education organization that brings the classical Spanish arts to the New York City schools. Current clients include PS 8 in Upper Manhattan\, the New York School for the Deaf and the Hispanic Society Museum and Library. Ms. de la Paz currently lives in Nyack\, NY with her husband and three children\, where she continues to teach\, produce and perform.

SUMMARY:End of Life Details Presentation and Discussion: The Discussion Everyone Needs But Often Avoids Until Too Late with Glenn Eisen
DESCRIPTION:Unnecessary grief and expenses are not unusual when some of life’s most important decisions are overlooked or past decisions are not reviewed\, updated and addressed. This presentation discusses the full range of issues about end of life issues. It is about living wills/advanced directives\, estate plans\, last wills and testaments and most of the other issues that might be important to consider. Changes in laws\, investments and family situations\, along with designated decision makers\, funeral venues and disposal of personal assets\, are all issues that need to be at least reviewed\, discussed and possibly resolved to avoid unnecessary stress and disputes between family members\, business associates\, healthcare providers and government agencies.
