SUMMARY:Michael Kimmel - 2026-2027 Author Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin us as we welcome Michael Kimmel discussing his book Playmakers: The Jewish Entrepreneurs who Created the Toy Industry in America.\n\n\nThe untold story of the first-generation Jewish American toymakers who literally manufactured “the century of the child.” \nFrom Barbie and G.I. Joe to Popeye\, Superman\, and Mr. Potato Head\, Playmakers reveals how the toy industry created the idealized American childhood: an enchanted world\, full of wild creatures and eternal struggles between good and evil\, with endless realms of fantasy and beauty. For much of the twentieth century\, every part of the American toy business was largely Jewish―the company founders\, executives\, and designers\, as well as the factory workers\, wholesale distributors\, retail outlets\, and armies of salesmen. A descendant of the founders of the Ideal Toy Corporation\, Michael Kimmel shows how these poor\, often Yiddish-speaking\, tenement-dwelling children of immigrants invented a world they never experienced for themselves. Along with the toys and Jewish toymakers that climbed the ladder of success\, Kimmel also portrays the rise of an entire culture focused on children\, led by Jewish comic book creators\, children’s authors\, parenting experts\, and child psychologists. \nThe first full-scale toy history of the United States\, Kimmel’s story conjures the colorful\, imaginative\, restless spirits who followed the promise of the American Dream―and describes the ways in which the world they came from molded their beloved creations. Playmakers shows that the overlapping experiences of being a Jew\, an immigrant\, and a child in twentieth-century America―an outsider looking in\, a person desperate to be accepted―created childhood as we know it today. \nIN-PERSON at B’nai Torah Congregation | $18/person \nClick here to register\n \n\nIn partnership with \n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:A History of Russian Jewry: Where we came from and why? - Rabbi Howard Shub
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nFor many Jews in North America\, our roots trace back to the Russian Empire. Our language\, Ashkenazi culture\, traditions\, and cuisine reflect centuries of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. The influence of Russian Jewry also helped shape the early pioneers of modern Israel. This course explores the history of Russian Jewry and its enduring impact on Jewish identity\, culture\, and life today.\n\nZOOM\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n\nRabbi Howard Shub is a first-generation Canadian Jew born in Toronto.  Raised in a traditional Jewish home where Yiddish was spoken as easily as English\, his Jewish identity was nurtured from an early age through family\, school\, and a Labour Zionist summer camp.He earned his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University in New York and later completed an M.A. in Contemporary Jewish Studies\, specialising in modern Jewish history\, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After several years in Israel\, he spent five years in Australia; first as Hillel Director in Melbourne\, and then in an unexpected role as a probation and parole officer working in a maximum security prison. Returning to North America\, Rabbi Howard pursued his true calling and was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York in 1988. For nearly 40 years\, he served as a congregational rabbi\, retiring in June 2023\, only to return to a part-time pulpit and\, most recently\, as interim rabbi of the synagogue where he served for 23 years. He continues to teach Jewish topics across Florida and serves as mashgiach (kosher supervisor) at the only kosher deli in the area. \n​ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
