Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an unforgettable journey through the music, culture, and history of Cuba. In 1950s Havana, a group of gifted musicians helped define the rich sound of Son cubano, blending Spanish and African musical traditions into a style that captivated audiences around the world. Their careers were disrupted by the Cuban Revolution, but four decades later they reunited to record the music they thought had been lost to history—creating the landmark Buena Vista Social Club album, the best-selling world music recording of all time.

This engaging presentation explores pre-Revolution life in 1950s Cuba, the legendary Son cubano musicians featured in the acclaimed 1999 documentary film, and the story behind the Tony Award-winning 2025 Broadway musical. Through music, history, and culture, discover the enduring legacy of Buena Vista Social Club and its lasting influence on Latin music worldwide.

Presenter Rick Feingold programmed the Latin Jazz series at Penn State’s Performing Arts Center. He teaches history at Bergen Community College and has traveled extensively throughout Cuba. He holds an MBA from Penn State University and a B.A. in History from Rutgers University.

Maxfield Parrish was one of the most popular and commercially successful artists of his day, his illustrations often gracing the covers and pages of well-known magazines like Harper’s and Collier’s. His ethereal figures inhabiting dreamlike, Neoclassical settings were practically ubiquitous in early 20th-century America. It was estimated that one out of every four homes in the United States had a print of his famous Daybreak in the 1920s.

Mallory Mortillaro, our speaker, spent a portion of her childhood living in the sleepy New England town, Parrish loved and drew inspiration from. In this program she examines the life and work of the renowned artist and his enduring impact on American culture.

Mallory is an art historian and educator. As a researcher, she consults for private collectors, museums, and organizations in the New York metropolitan area, with a primary focus on provenance research. Her discoveries in the art world have garnered her international attention. A popular lecturer, she has presented more than 400 art history lectures to audiences around the country. She studied at Drew University and resides in New Jersey.

The story of the Pilgrims’ survival at Plymouth is far more complex than the familiar Thanksgiving tale many of us learned in school.

As we observe National Native American Heritage Month, this engaging lecture explores the dramatic early years of Plymouth Colony and the crucial role played by the Native peoples of the region. Discover how the Patuxet community had been devastated by European diseases, why conflict with the newly arrived settlers seemed possible, and how diplomacy, alliance-building, and mutual need shaped an unexpected partnership.

Through power struggles, friendships, negotiations, and betrayals, this program offers a richer and more nuanced understanding of one of the most important encounters in early American history.
Speaker Patricia Wells is an educator, historian, and storyteller, who is passionate about bringing history to life through engaging and thought-provoking presentations.

“The Story They're Not Telling; How the media has excised the words and ideology of Islamist terror from its reporting, making it easier to villainize Israel, the one country in the Middle East who fights against it” will be the focus of a discussion led by Jennifer Kouzi, a U.S. Media Researcher and Analyst with CAMERA (the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis). Jennifer will discuss the examples of various issues that arise in media reporting on Israel and the broader Middle East. She will explain how CAMERA responds to everything, from erroneous reporting to both subtle and overt media bias.
Jennifer Kouzi monitors anti-Israel bias in the media at CAMERA. Prior to joining CAMERA, Jennifer was an attorney in the greater New York Metropolitan area for over two decades. Jennifer has a B.A. from the University of Rochester, a law degree from Temple University and an M.A. in Political Science, with concentration in Religion and Middle Eastern Politics, from Bar-Ilan University.
Founded in 1982 to monitor bias in print and network media, CAMERA has broadened its expertise to confront misinformation directed at Israel and its supporters. CAMERA corrects falsehoods and distortions in the legacy media, exposes disinformation on social media and other digital platforms, tackles antisemitism in K-12 education, supports pro-Israel students on college campuses, and challenges anti-Israel campaigns.
This event, sponsored by the B'nai Shalom Culture &amp; Learning Center (CLC), is open to the public and free of charge. To attend, you must register by October 15th through <a href="https://bswo.shulcloud.com/event/clc-camera-speaker.html." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">bswo.shulcloud.com/event/clc-camera-speaker.html.</a>
