SUMMARY:Jews and American Popular Music: The Songbook Lives On with Michael Shamosh
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members; $10 for non-members \nGreat American music didn’t end with the classic American Songbook. It continued into the postwar generation with a new\, more urbanized\, sound.

He was known as “Sunnyside Slim\,” the harmonica player for the local band Sunnyside Slim and The Hudsons. Michael has been a chief investment strategist for brokerage firms\, and a manager of mutual funds and a hedge fund. He is a JCC member and lives in Irvington\, New York where he raised two sons with his wife Renee.

SUMMARY:Foreign Affairs Discussion Group: Why is the U.S. Bailing Out Argentina?
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members; $10 for non-members \nThe U.S. has typically relied on the IMF to bail out financially troubled allies\, but now it’s risking its own cash to bail out Argentina\, despite the $20 billion the country is already getting from the IMF. What is behind this decision? Will this generous aid succeed in putting Argentina on a firm path to recovery and growth–or does the U.S. stand to lose billions?
