Jewish Doubt, The Jewish Center Princeton

Wednesday February 8, 2023
7:00 PM

With Ayala Fader, PhD and Leora Batnitzky, PhD

Hybrid class

Ayala Fader, author of Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age, will be talking with Leora Batnitzky about Professor Fader's research in ultra-Orthodox communities, focused on Jewish men and women who secretly explored the outside world, in person and online. They will consider as well how this particular historical moment impacts not only the ultra-Orthodox, but all manner of Jews--how we are dealing with the moral ambiguities we confront as we attempt to live ethical lives in the digital age. The Times Literary Supplement said, "It is the personal stories in particular that makes Hidden Heretics so compelling."

Between Two Knees, McCarter Theater

Wednesday February 8, 2023
7:30 PM

January 31 - February 12

Between Two Knees is an outrageously funny and wickedly subversive intergenerational tale of familial love, loss, and connection. This first play by the acclaimed intertribal sketch comedy troupe the 1491s fractures traditional narratives of the United States through the lens of the Native American experience. Smashing through where most textbooks stop teaching Native history—the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee—Between Two Knees take us from the forced re-education at Indian boarding schools, through World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, the 1973 takeover at Wounded Knee, and maybe even breaks time itself. Did we mention it’s outrageously funny and wickedly subversive?
