Zuckerman American Friends of Rabin Medical Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit national charity based in New York City. Donations to this event are tax deductable in accordance with the law. Proceeds from this luncheon benefit a cancer research clinic focused on identification and early detection of BRCA gene mutations in women at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center—home to the Davidoff Cancer Center—a world class facility whose sole focus is on the treatment and prevention of cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer afflicting Jewish women in the United States and Israel. Throughout their lifetimes, one in eight Jewish women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Genetic mutations in the BRCA genes cause breast cancer and are known to be more prevalent among Ashkenazi women. With each passing year, more women diagnosed with breast cancer are surviving. This can be attributed in part to a number of factors: improved primary care at diagnosis, enhanced treatment facilities, advances in radiation equipment, and above all, early detection. Each year doctors and research fellows at Israel’s Davidoff Comprehensive Cancer Center are conducting vital research to find cures for breast cancer and their findings benefit doctors and patients all over the world. Thank you for supporting research to find a cure for breast cancer. 636 Broadway, Suite 218, New York, NY 10012 tel 212 279-2522 [email protected] www.afrmc.org LUCETTE LAGNADO The Arrogant Years: One Girl’s Search for Her Lost Youth, from Cairo to AMERICAN FRIENDS OF RABIN MEDICAL CENTER Brooklyn is a companion volume to The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit, which was lavishly praised by Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times invites you to a luncheon to benefit as a “stunning memoir…a deeply affecting portrait of her family and its Breast Cancer Research Fellowships in Israel journey….[Lagnado] conjures a vanished world with elegiac ardor and uncommon grace, and...she calculates the emotional costs of exile with an unsentimental but Thursday, April 26, 2012 forgiving eye….Writing in crystalline yet melodious prose, Ms. Lagnado gives us an Israel Independence Day indelible galley of family portraits.” Born in Cairo, Lucette Lagnado and her family were forced to flee Egypt as 11:30 am – 12:15 pm refugees when she was a small child, eventually coming to New York.

  • Martin Balsam and the Refining of Male Character Acting in American Films, 1957-1976 John Thomas Mcguire, Siena College
    Man In A Hat: Martin Balsam and the Refining of Male Character Acting in American Films, 1957-1976 John Thomas McGuire, Siena College [email protected] Volume 8. 1 (2020) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2020.235 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract This article attempts a definition at what constitutes “character acting” in mainstream cinema in the United States and argues that throughout the peak of his film career—roughly, 1957 through 1976--Martin Balsam refined the definition of male character acting in American film, a parameter previously established by such skilled practitioners as Eugene Pallette and Claude Rains. Balsam did this through his ability to portray what can be termed “a man in a hat” portrayals: tartly humorous, reliable, and sometimes authoritative supporting characters, usually wearing a chapeau. This is clearly seen in such performances as the private investigator in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) and most interestingly, a partner in an unusual subway hijacking in Joseph Sargent’s The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three (1974). Keywords: Character acting, male, in film, United States; Martin Balsam; Academy Award for Best Performance by a Supporting Actor; Claude Rains; Alfred Hitchcock; 20th Century film acting.

  • Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews, Volume 4, No.1, February
    Association of Jewish Libraries REVIEWS February/March 2014 Volume IV, No. 1 In The Spotlight Gelfand, Shoshana Boyd. The Barefoot Book of Jewish Tales. Illus. by Amanda Hall. Cambridge, MA: Barefoot Books, 2013. 80 pp. $19.99. (9781846868849). Gr. 2–5. Angels in disguise, a riddle-solving queen, a generous lamed-vavnik, and a fowl-minded prince are just a few of the characters found in this delightful collection of Jewish folktales. While far less grim than many offerings in the folklore canon, the eight classic stories presented here, from “Challah in the Ark” to the oft-spun “The Prince Who Thought He Was a Rooster”, are filled with plenty of twists to grab young readers and keep them guessing until all loose ends are stitched and the final kernel of wisdom is unveiled. Gelfand shows a deft touch at keeping the stories well paced, consistently entertaining, and moralistic without being heavy handed. It is a book filled with miracles: an illiterate boy sends cut Hebrew letters aloft to form the prayers in his heart; a girl gives a weekly gift to God and thus sustains her family for thirty years. But for anyone who has ever read well-crafted folktales aloud to young children, the real miracle will come in the form of rapt expressions and lessons learned. The book touches on a number of themes, including the joy of sharing, embracing the uniqueness of others, expressing one’s love for God in different ways, and the rewards of kindness. Hall’s bright, fanciful, folk-style illustrations—a combination of watercolor ink, chalk pastel, colored pencil, and digital layering— nicely complement each story.

  • The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit
    Reading Guide The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit By Lucette Lagnado ISBN: 9780060822125 Introduction In vivid and graceful prose, Lucette Lagando recreates the majesty and cosmopolitan glamour of Cairo in the years between WWII and Nasser's rise to power. Her father, Leon, was a boulevardier who bore a striking resemblance to Carry Grant and conducted his business in the elaborate lobby of the Nile Hilton, dressed in his signature white sharkskin suit. Lagnado brings to life the color and culture of Cairo's sidewalk cafes and nightclubs, the markets and the quiet Jewish homes of the ancient city. But with Nasser's nationalization of Egyptian industry, Leon and his family lose everything. As streets are renamed and neighborhoods of their fellow Jews are disbanded, they, too, must make their escape. Packed into 26 suitcases, their jewels hidden in sealed tins of anchovies, Leon and his family depart for any land that will take them. From Cairo to Paris to New York, the poverty and hardships they encounter make a striking contrast to the beauty and comfort of old Cairo. As their lives become an inversion of the American dream, though, "The resilient dignity of Lucette's family transcends the fiercest of obstacles," writes the Los Angeles Times Book Review. Set against the stunning portraits of three world cities, this memoir offers a grand and sweeping story of family, tradition, tragedy and triumph in their epic exodus from paradise. Questions for Discussion 1. Author Lagnado dedicates her book in part to the memory of her parents yet does Leon emerge as a sympathetic character at the end —in spite of his flaws—or are his trespasses and libertine ways—not to mention his ill-treatment of his wife—simply unforgivable to any enlightened reader? Is it clear how the author feels about her father and in particular his womanizing ways? If you do find Leon to be likable, how come? How does the author make you appreciate Leon even as you become painfully aware of his shortcomings? 2.
