SUMMARY:Brick Walls and Breakthroughs
DESCRIPTION:BRICK WALLS AND BREAKTHROUGHS \nShaarei Shomayim\, 470 Glencairn Avenue\, Toronto \nWednesday\, June 13th\, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. \nDoors open at 7:30 pm \n  \nThe Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto offers the much anticipated Brick Walls and Breakthroughs for 2018! \n  \nLes Kelman (originally Kelmansky) knew about his grandfather (born 1870 in Ukraine – died Glasgow 1945).  He even had a “name” for his great-grandfather.  But that was the end of the road.  Then he obtained the 1858 Revision List for Pogrebishche\, Ukraine\, with lots of Kelmanskys\, but still no way of filling the gap between 1858 and 1870.  Les will share how he discovered a link that enabled his research to go back in time to 1775. \nLes has been an active member of JGS Toronto since the early 1990s and served as President of our Society (2013-2016) and as the Programme Committee Chair for many years. \nMerle Langbord Levine’s grandparents were influential in her upbringing and encouraged her desire to go after her roots and heritage.  Google and My Heritage autosomal DNA testing results led her to a distant cousin living in Florida.  Merle was able to trace her family back to the mid-1700s and obtain new information as to where the family lived in Poland.  She also discovered what happened to the family during the Holocaust\, providing details never disclosed to her Langbord grandparents. \nMerle has presented at JGS Toronto on several occasions.  She is a professional educator who is in private practice tutoring students. \nNeil Richler’s presentation is entitled “Using Family and Online Resources to Track a Distant Branch of Long Lost Family”. Neil’s success came about as a result of an interview with his great-grandfather and by using current online genealogical resources. \nNeil has been a Society member since 1992 when he began his family research.  He has presented various workshops for JGS Toronto and has served as a JGS Board member for over twenty years serving as the long-time Membership Coordinator.

SUMMARY:The Ward Cabaret June 20 to June 22
DESCRIPTION:The Ward Cabaret reimagines the vibrant sound of Toronto’s first multi-cultural neighbourhood. JUNO Award-winning musician and composer David Buchbinder is joined by a collaborative team of musicians\, singers\, and actors for a musical event based on the songs and sounds of Toronto’s first cross-cultural community. \nHistory is a verb. The passage of time is a constant. But what we seek to preserve from our past and what we choose to cast away has always been a selective process often informed by unexamined motives and biases. \n— MICHAEL MCCLELLAND\, THE WARD (CO-EDITOR)\n\nThe Ward was a Lower East Side-like enclave shared for over a century by Irish\, African­-Canadians\, Italians\, Eastern European Jews and Chinese. A dense corner of the city that officials saw as a crime-ridden slum in need of reform\, The Ward was home to waves of immigrants who settled there\, started businesses and religious institutions\, learned English\, hawked newspapers\, ran speakeasies\, restaurants and laundries\, started theatres\, and generally tried to fit in. When these newcomers came to Toronto\, they left much behind\, but brought with them great cultural treasures: stories\, songs\, music and traditions. \nInspired by The Ward (Coach House Books)\, Buchbinder first gathered a group of stellar Toronto artists to create The Ward Cabaret in 2016. After selling out at Soulpepper and Lula Lounge\, the book’s editors\, along with Buchbinder\, Marjorie Chan\, Andrew Craig\, and Michael Occhipinti – three musicians and a playwright representing four of the five cultures of The Ward – are reimagining the songs\, music and stories of The Ward in order to explore the cultural roots of what has become the most diverse city on the planet.\n  \nhttps://luminatofestival.com/2018/Events/The-Ward-Cabaret
