The First Jews in America: Freedom and Culture in the New World

Thursday, September 24th, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Interested in the history of how Jewish settlers came, not without controversy, to inhabit the New World? How Jews, a small fraction of the population in colonial America and the young United States, negotiated freedoms and made a mark on American culture? Please join NYC Smith alumnae and guests for a second New-York Historical Society 1-hour guided virtual tour “The First Jews in America: Freedom and Culture in the New World.”

The tour captures the journey of a people compelled to leave ancestral lands in Europe and homes in South America and the Caribbean through a controversial arrival in New Amsterdam in 1654 to the attainment of unprecedented political freedoms in early 19th century New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston. Rare portraits, drawings, maps, documents, and ritual objects from the 18th and 19th century will illuminate how Jewish society (artists, writers, activists among them) adopted American ideals, giving birth to a new Jewish American tradition, all the while struggling to remain distinct and socially cohesive.

How DOES a script get made into a movie or a TV show? If you work in the film industry or are interested in doing so, or if you are just curious, please join the Smith College Club of New York City for this inside look at work behind the scenes in film and television. With 30 years’ experience as a Production Manager in the Film and Television Industry, Betsy Alton will reveal what it’s like to work on projects from the point of receiving the script to getting it “in the can”, sharing her experiences on TV shows and movies like “Sex and The City”, “Bad Moms", “Shutter Island”, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, “Power" and “City on a Hill”.

What is the Role of the Production Manager? Have you ever wondered what a gaffer is? What does a key grip do? What does craft service mean?
