Berimbau Brazilian Table - 36th Street

'The Most Electrifying Party In Town' FORBES 
'This new underground jazz speakeasy is the epitome of cool' TIMEOUT
Address:&nbsp;36th Street, 3 W 36th St., New York, NY, 10018
TICKETS: <a href="https://daddy-rabbit.turntabletickets.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">daddy-rabbit.turntabletickets.com/</a>
Descend into New York's coolest speakeasy, where the walls hum and the night bends.Daddy Rabbit takes over Berimbau Second Floor on Halloween night, and the music you love sounds even better under a roomful of ghouls. The same amazing live sound, the same warm groove that gets into your bones, now with extra mystery moving through the crowd.
Come as the thing that lives in your imagination: the cape, the crown, the glittering, the grim.
The band will play and the floor will fill. A vampire will dance with a disco queen. A pirate will lose his heart to a skeleton. Somewhere near the bar, an angel and a devil will share a table and a laugh, and nobody will think it strange.
Daddy Rabbit isn't a show — it's a living, breathing organism of sound. Classically trained pianists trade fire with bassists who groove like it's gospel. Horn players wail beside jazz singers who whisper and roar in the same breath. MCs spit truth while beatboxers conjure entire rhythm sections from nothing but air and instinct.
No two nights are alike. This is a carousel that never stops turning — a rotating cast of world-class musicians spinning original compositions alongside daring reinventions of Soul, Jazz, Rock, Funk, and RnB classics you thought you knew.
Come hungry for something you can't name yet. Leave changed.
This is Daddy Rabbit. Get in before the door closes.
Doors 7m. Show 8pm
See You There

Luckily, he has a chance to rewrite his old wrongs and his old memoir in his own one-man show. Hillbilly Allegedly tells the real story of JD Vance, and what made him change his mind and support Donald Trump. From growing up in Ohio to where his money came from for a Congressional campaign to why he’s the only logical choice for president in 2028…everything will be revealed!

Riverside Church, 91 Claremont Ave., Room 10T, 10th floor

What is a child? The answer may seem obvious—until we step inside the world of alternative spiritual communities, where children may be revered as enlightened masters, treated as spiritually unformed subordinates, or embraced as equal souls in small bodies.
Drawing on years of field research, this lecture explores how new religious movements (NRMs) understand childhood, and what those understandings mean for the children who grow up within them.
These patterns come to life through case studies of twelve movements, including the Children of God, Rajneeshpuram, the Twelve Tribes, ISKCON, the Raelian Movement, MOVE, and the Order of the Solar Temple. The lecture raises broader questions: And what can these movements teach us about our own culture’s assumptions about childhood? RSVP to reserve a seat to Info@SwedLib.org.&nbsp;
DR. SUSAN J. PALMER is a Canadian sociologist of religion whose primary research focus is new religious movements. She is an Affiliate Professor at Concordia University in Montreal and Principal Investigator of the SSHRC-funded research project “Children in Sectarian Religions and State Control” at McGill University’s School of Religious Studies, where she is also a member of the faculty. The author of twelve books on new religious movements, her notable works include "Moon Sisters, Krishna Mothers, Rajneesh Lovers" (Syracuse, 1994), "Aliens Adored: Raël’s UFO Religion" (Rutgers, 2004), "The New Heretics of France" (Oxford, 2011), and "Storming Zion: Government Raids on Religions" (Oxford, with Stuart Wright).This Autumn Wm Bruce Lecture is sponsored by the New York New Church Legacy Fund and the Swedenborg Library Chicago.&nbsp;
Room 10T at 91 Claremont Ave. (Riverside Church tower) is a Gothic-inspired room with spectacular views of the Hudson River and upper Manhattan and the Bronx.

Children in New Religious Movements: How Adults' Beliefs Shape Their Lives

At a moment when loneliness, social isolation, and declining trust are contributing to a growing crisis of community, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how we communicate and connect with one another. Can AI help strengthen human connection, or could it deepen the forces pulling us apart?
Pioneering AI researcher David Blei, Central Synagogue Senior Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, and technologist Jamie Metzl — author of The AI Ten Commandments — talk to constitutional scholar Noah Feldman in a wide-ranging conversation exploring one of the defining questions of our age.
Artificial intelligence is transforming our world at breathtaking speed. It promises extraordinary breakthroughs in medicine, science, education, and human creativity while raising profound questions about truth, justice, freedom, meaning, and the future of our civilization. Can these technologies help us become not only more productive, but wiser, more compassionate, and more ethical? What values should guide the creation of increasingly powerful intelligent systems, and what choices must we make today to shape the future we want? Representing wide-ranging, divergent viewpoints on this transformative technology, Blei, Buchdahl, Metzl, and Feldman gather to explore the legal, ethical, philosophical, scientific, and spiritual dimensions of how AI stands to change our world.
Can intelligent machines help us become more ethical? How should democratic societies govern increasingly powerful AI systems? Most importantly, what can we do today to ensure that AI strengthens, rather than diminishes, our communities? Join us for a timely conversation offering fresh insight into the choices that are shaping the future of humanity.
Copies of The AI Ten Commandments: A New Moral Code for Humanity by Jamie Metzl, To Be a Jew Today by Noah Feldman, and Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl will be available for purchase; the authors will sign books following the program.
