THE COMPREHENSIVE CENTER COMPANIES IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE ITS NEWEST COMPANY

COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION SERVICES, PLLCPhone: 212-566-8853 • Fax: 212-566-8801

Licensed by the New York State Education DepartmentIs your child demonstrating difficulty communicating or comprehending your requests? Do you find that your child becomes easily frustrated when requested to do a non-preferred activity? Are you concerned that your child may not be approaching his developmental milestones? Your child may be eligible for

an evaluation and services through the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE).

Comprehensive Center Evaluation Services provides developmental evaluations for three to five year olds who are suspected of having a disability. We offer coordination of the initial evaluation and assist

families with all sequential steps throughout the evaluation process. We are able to provide Mono-lingual and bi-lingual evaluation services. All evaluations are at no cost to parents and are confidential. Comprehensive Center Evaluation Services conducts a thorough assessment in the following disciplines:

SPEECH ~ OCCUPATIONAL ~ PHYSICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ~ SOCIAL HISTORY

How do I refer my child for an evaluation?If your child is currently receiving Early Intervention Services, your child may qualify for services through CPSE. Your Service Coordinator can assist with you this transition planning and referral to CPSE. If you suspect that your child has developmental, communication or gross motor delays then you can make a referral. Referrals are requested in writing to CPSE indicating specific developmental concerns and written consent. Once submitted, CPSE will provide parents with a list of approved evaluators. You can

select Comprehensive Evaluation Services.

When are evaluations scheduled?Evaluations can be conducted within the home or at our evaluation sites. Evaluations can be scheduled at times that are convenient for both parents/and evaluators. Parents need to be flexible in scheduling

as a young child may not tolerate multiple evaluations in one day.

Why do I need a developmental evaluation?The evaluation must include sufficient information in order for CPSE to determine a child’s eligibility. The individual evaluation conducted by a multidisciplinary team, enables CPSE to determine what

services are appropriate. When a child demonstrates delays in one domain, there is a strong likelihood that he may not be developing appropriately in all domains. A full thorough evaluation assures that

your child is approaching his developmental milestones. Full evaluation reports are provided to parents prior to the child’s scheduled CPSE meeting.

I would like to refer my child for an evaluation, what do I need to do?Call Janis Wolfson at Comprehensive Evaluation Services at 212-566-8853 Ext 210 to request

additional information, or send a fax request to Comprehensive Evaluation Services 212-566-8801

Postcard from the EdgeOur reader Jerry Rodman sent me the

following postcard:Dear Mr. Yanover, It appears that you have

run out of things to say to us in the Grand Street News. 20½ pages of advertising in a 32 page book? Plus 4 pages of graphic nonsense and 1½ pages of inane and sophomoric “Tips” for surviving the downturn in the economy. You should be ashamed of yourself. Sincerely, Jerry Rodman.

Mr. Rodman does not hold his punches, for sure, but his sincere criticism is very useful.

The Grand Street News had a charmed birth, six years ago, when LoHo Realty was paying generously for the privilege of calling us their own. Over the years, we’ve gone our separate ways, in the nicest manner, and while LoHo is still among our steadiest sponsors, we’re fending for ourselves.

We had to respond to the recent economic crisis by reducing editorial pages. Last February, we hit on the concept of the comic essay, as a means of creating unique content while keeping down costs. It worked well for a while, but, as Rodman points out, our January issue hit a creative low.

So, we decided to change a little more. We’ll be running a string of local stories, without special pages for articles and columns – save for the editorial page. This way we hope to keep putting in new content until the moment we go to print, and to expand our editorial content to match a rise in advertising.

Since we receive no public funds, it’s up to us to stay in the black. But one thing Mr. Rodman and the rest of our loyal readers can do to help is buy the goods and services of our sponsors—and let them know you read about them in the Grand Street News.

Hoping for a fresh, honest restart,

Sweeper in the RainWe can’t resist this one – every

time the city street sweeper comes by on a really rain-swept morning, and we, motorists, must sit in our cars by the curb for 90 minutes, or we’d get a ticket – we think of Franz Kafka and what he could do with this story. We, on the other hand, are just getting old and cranky…

The Talk of Grand Street

Green Innovations atSeward Park Co-op

Since his election as the new president of the Seward Park Co-op board of directors, Michael Tumminia has been bursting with the energy of innovation. When we asked him recently how it felt to be president, he opened with the cautious stuff, about what “a privilege it is to impact positively the thousands of people who live in Seward Park.” So we asked for an example, and he started running with it.

So far, Tumminia counts as his major success keeping shareholders informed. The new board has sent out at least one report every month, and held five shareholders’ meetings, and three community events.

And how was the turnout? “It depends on the subject matter,”

says Tumminia. “From 30 or 40 to 200, but I have not been disappointed at any of the meetings.”

The board, under Tumminia, has

had several initiatives, most notably, their effort to “make our buildings as green as possible.” They will have an energy audit this quarter, following which they’ll be charting their plans for providing heat in future years. SPC is one of the largest facilities provided with steam by Con-Ed in the city.

Speaking of going green, Tumminia and his board are about to give all of us “a green alternative to car ownership.” Seward Park co-op has recently become partners with the Hertz Company, running a branch of the Connect by Hertz venture from their property.

According to Tumminia, this is the first such deal between Hertz and a co-op. Two Hertz vehicles will be parked on co-op property, available 24/7, not just to Seward residents, but to everyone in the neighborhood as well.

Both cars are fuel-efficient: one is a Toyota Prius, the hybrid; the other is a Smart Car, the cute two-seater which can be easily confused with your

Seward Park’s new rent-by-the-hour fleet, in partnership with Hertz

children’s toy car. Both cars will be parked next to the SPC’s management office on Clinton Street.

Paula R. Rivera, Public Affairs Manager at the Hertz Corporation, told us that “by partnering with Seward Park we’re able to bring economical transportation solutions to the co-op’s residents. With everything included – gas, insurance, parking – Connect by Hertz provides members with the freedom and flexibility of having a car available while taking the burden of car ownership off of their shoulders.”

“If we’re successful, we’ll have more of these cars available on our property,” Tumminia promises.

The car comes with a gas card, and you get a certain amount of mileage included in the rental. The rate starts as low as $8.50 an hour.

Hertz offers the Grand Street News readers a special deal: register online for membership with the code word “Seward.” You will not be charged the membership fee, and you’ll get a 100 dollar driving credit. You’ll only

have to pay a 25 dollar driver’s license verification fee.

Life in the Produce AisleOver the past few months I’ve become

ever more interested in the quality of my food. A lot of it had to do with my burgeoning girth, naturally, but a lot of it stemmed from my evolving notion of change.

I began to frequent the produce section of my local supermarket. Author Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, In Defense of Food) recommends that we purchase our food from the outside aisles in our supermarkets. You’ll notice that the produce, meat and dairy sections are situated alongside the walls, because they require frequent removal and restocking. The food in the middle aisles won’t go bad in a hundred years – which is why even the bacteria won’t go near it.

Grand and Jackson Streets, I became acquainted with the chief green grocer, Robert Mena. He arrived 35 years ago from San Salvador, having grown up in a family of green grocers. Those who know him can’t get enough of him, particularly because he is honest to a fault. If you don’t like the shape of any product on his shelves, Robert would either tell you to wait a couple of hours because he’s got fresh stuff coming, or would rush to the back room and come back with the newer stuff. He actually gets a charge out of seeing your satisfied smile, and you walk away feeling you’ve got the inside track on veggies.

The inside track on veggies may be the inside track on health and longevity. Dark green leafy vegetables are the most concentrated source of nutrients. No other food even comes close. They are a rich source of minerals and vitamins, and phytonutrients, which protect our cells from damage and help fight cancer. Vitamin K, which dark green leafy veggies offer in abundance, regulates blood clotting, helps protect bones from osteoporosis, helps reduce calcium in arterial plaques, helps fighting inflammatory diseases like arthitis, and helps to prevent diabetes.

The shelves on about a quarter of Robert Mena’s produce section are jam-packed every morning with fresh, dark green leafy veggies. And I’ve seen how, by the time evening rolls in, those shelves are near-empty. This neighborhood is quite educated when it comes to leafy veggies: Arugula, Broccoli, Collard Greens, Dandelion Greens, Kale, Mustard Greens, a large variety of lettuce, including Romaine, Red Leaf, and Boston, Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Bok Choy – to name some.

In the past couple of months I’ve begun to consume about four pounds of vegetables a day, as well as 4-5 fruits. I make a huge salad for lunch and a huge green soup for supper. My wife says she hasn’t seen me this happy in a long

time. I wake up with a smile and with a song (my daughter says she could do without the singing in the morning). I’ve been hitting the gym and the park several times a week. I’m embracing change.

Ninety years ago, a renowned rabbi said that he began his rabbinical career eager to change the world. Some years went by and realized he may only be able to change the people of his city. Then, a decade or so later, he was hoping to change just the members of his family – until, finally, he concluded that, with a lot of work, he might be able to change himself.

But my new friend, Robert, from the Fine Fair produce section, is actually changing the world, making healthy food available to us so easily and at relatively low cost. Incidentally, my daily conversations with Robert Mena invariably get to the produce’s point of origin. He doesn’t seem concerned in the least about the carbon footprint left by his merchandise, but since he knows where every fruit and vegetable is from, I get to decide if I want it. Seems fair to me.

Last Friday he talked me into buying cherries from Chile. I gave in, because Robert promised unadulterated sweetness. He was right. We overcame our aversion to big carbon footprints and stuffed our faces with amazingly sweet—very expensive—Chilean cherries. But as much as we paid, the cost didn’t come near what a pint of quality ice cream would have cost – especially when you add the accompanying cost of the sickness it spreads.

We’ve spent the past political season arguing over the best way to insure our health. As if health were a function of the number of doctor appointments, hospital visits and medical procedures we undergo. Its proponents call the bill “healthcare reform,” decrying the soaring number of Americans left uninsured. But doctors and hospitals do not create health, they’re merely

involved in the desperate efforts to put back together the pieces of a wrecked health.

The vast majority of our illnesses are the result of bad food and a sedentary lifestyle. Granted, I’m now at a stage of my own transformation from unhealthy to healthy in which I, necessarily, tend towards the extreme (I did kick my 100 packet a day Aspartame habit – 10 months without those blue sweeties, and without those pesky nasal drips and unexplained headaches). I only hope that my friendship with Robert Mena, casual as it may be, will continue to be present in my life, to help me steer away from the middle aisles.To watch my interview withRobert Mena go tograndstreetnews.com/mena.

Ethics Are In Again!Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver,

along with several committee chairs announced last month the introduction of sweeping ethics and campaign finance reform legislation, including stricter campaign finance rules and greater penalties for violations, increased disclosure of outside income for legislators, enhancements to the lobby law, strengthened legislative and executive oversight.

The legislation will create an

autonomous, fixed-term investigative body to oversee legislative ethics, and a body within the New York State Board of Elections to enforce greater adherence to campaign finance laws.

The legislation revamps current ethics law by dividing the Legislative Ethics Commission into a compliance and investigative arm, and replacing the Commission on Public Integrity with a six-member board to oversee ethics compliance in the executive branch.

The legislation would also reinstate an independent state commission on lobbying and increase disclosure requirements for lobbyists who have business relationships with public officials.

“We who serve in government must always strive to restore the people’s faith in their government,” said Silver, adding that the legislation “will significantly strengthen the ethics laws which apply to all public officials in this state.”

Meanwhile, in the State Senate, our own Senator Daniel Squadron announced that the joint Senate-Assembly ethics package passed the Senate Codes Committee. This crucial vote brings the ethics package one step closer to a vote of the full Senate, marking a significant stride forward in the campaign to bring reform to Albany.

“I ask my clients to stay with me while I review their receipts

they’re there to answer immediately. It takes about an hour,

maybe an hour and a half, but my clients gain an understanding of

what deductions are available to them and how to keep records in

the future, to capture every legal deduction.”

Returns and extensions are filed electronically to accelerate

the process. Slater finds that 90% of problems are detected

immediately and can be corrected quickly. Fees vary depending

on the complexity and number of schedules attached to the

return, but the average is $250.

Albany. The package was later passed by the Senate Finance Committee, and confirmed by a floor vote.

“I am pleased that today we are one step closer to passing ethics reform into law; but make no mistake, the fight has only begun,” said Squadron. “By passing this package, we can fill the Bruno Gap in our state’s ethics laws and begin to restore New Yorkers’ faith in government.”

Let the Good Times RollIt was the neon that beckoned us, a

blast of color on an otherwise dark section of Grand Street, the bright lights of Two Boots Tavern, recalling the festival atmosphere of New Orleans—the name “Two Boots” depict the maps of Italy & Louisiana. Owner Phil Hartman is an active member of the East Village art scene. The murals inside the restaurant represent Hartman’s love of food, Cajun & Italian, of art and music, and his passion for the Mets.

Two Boots Tavern is not a quiet spot. Patrons were spilling out into the street, a private birthday party was in full swing, and regulars were placing their to-go orders. We found seats at the well stocked bar. They pack a lot into this small space: a full kitchen in back, a full bar with beers on tap, tables and booths, and four large flat screens.

Our appetizer, Garlic Parmesan Wings, was fresh, juicy and perfectly seasoned. I tried the house cocktail, the Sazerac (traditional with rye). They offer this New Orleans cocktail made with absinthe two ways, original and traditional. One drink was delicious, and more than enough for me. It is a potent libation. My companion enjoyed a couple of generous vodka tonics. The drinks and the atmosphere set the tone for a carefree dinner, perfect at the end of a hectic week.

They offer a full menu of bar snacks, pizza, calzones, po’boys, and salads, and a kids menu. The pizza is served Cajun spicy or mild, and you have the option of whole wheat pizza crust (which has a cult like following). We chose a medium pizza, half sopressata & black olives with spicy, red sauce, and half “Bayou Blast” bbq shrimp, crawfish, Andouille sausage, jalapeno peppers and mozzarella.

Wow. The perfect thin cornbread crust was a platform for intense flavors. This is pizza as an art form. Not your typical NYC slice, but a melting pot of diversity that delivers a memorable meal. The pizza comes in three sizes, depending on your appetite. I brought home the leftovers, and the pizza was still as flavorful and the crust still as yummy as they were the night before.

Two Boots Tavern is a celebration of flavors, colors, lights, and a lot of liquor

Raising Gulick ParkJanet Jensen who lives in the

Amalgamated Dwellings writes:Early next spring, some 500 daffodil

and tulip plants will bring a welcome dose of color to what for too long has been an eyesore: the cement and cobblestone enclosure south of Delancey between Columbia and Willett Streets, known as Gulick/Sheriff Park. And, in a few years, if all goes well, we may have a greener, livelier and safer park in the ‘hood.

Already the spot looks better than it has in years, thanks to volunteer efforts with help from the Parks Dept. and local businesses. Shrubs were put in where trees have been taken down, benches were painted, leaves raked, bulbs planted. The work was accomplished on two separate community days, engaging

local people in work and fun.Park officials say some $1 million

should be set aside for improvements before they begin the process of designing and rebuilding the park. About $400 thousand have already been earmarked, thanks to the efforts of former City Councilman Alan Gerson and State Senator Daniel Squadron.

The steering committee, of which I’m a member, wants to inform the community, so we can all be part of the process. Check out the new website, www.gulickpark.org and sign up to be on our mailing list. We’ll follow up here in the spring with fresh images of daffodils and tulips!

Our East River Housing neighbor Martin Hanan writes:

Last year, we lost a beloved family member, Fortune Levy. At age 27, she left behind a 3-year-old son, and 4 month old twins. While pregnant, she was diagnosed with melanoma cancer that spread through her entire body.

She left behind a request, to urge everyone to get annual screenings by a skin doctor. Also:

gThe Arts Return to theOld Loew’s Canal Street

At eye level, there’s nothing remarkable about the building at 31 Canal Street, at the corner of Ludlow, just an ancient electronics store, wedged between tenement buildings. But if you happen to look above the old sign,

you’d be taken aback by the marvelous façade, the glorious marble remnant of a completely different era. Welcome to Loew’s Canal Street Theater.

According to Suzanne Ma, of DNAinfo.com, the 84-year-old building, which used to entertain more than 2 thousand ticket holders each show, is being considered as a new cultural center, serving Chinatown. The owner, Thomas Sung, is the founder and chairman of the board of the Abacus Federal Savings Bank in Chinatown.

A joint statement by the owner and a not-for-profit arts group called CREATE reads, “The Sung family remains interested in developing the entire building, while rehabilitating the theater space and creating a cultural and performing arts center.”

CREATE’s president, Amy Chin, told the NY Post that Loew’s Canal has the potential to be “both a cultural Mecca and an economic engine for the neighborhood.” A six-month survey is on its way, to determine the viability and cost of the project. With help from former City Councilman Alan Gerson, CREATE has received $150 thousand from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, and stands to receive $140 more.

“More flexibility, same price,” she writes. “We are instituting a new fee structure to allow greater flexibility to students.

“I just dealt with Steven Lazarus to refinance and you really should consider calling him … He was very good, spent plenty time talking over how long it would take to make back the closing cost by having the lower monthly cost. “

“I used him in 2003 as well as when I bought down here, and he is very honest, straight forward and a real pleasure to work with.”

“In my experience Steve Lazarus came up with offers that we could not find on our own even from the same banks.”

“I found him helpful, patient (I was a first time buyer with lots of questions), courteous and generally well received within the East River Community.”

“On my refinance he told me to hold on. Locking saving me 1/2%.”

“He got me 4.875% lock. The next day the bank rates had gone up to 5%.”

post calorie information on menus nationwide.

It may sound a little repressive – OK, very repressive, but a heavy handed policy can have its benefits. “New York city’s plan to reduce salt content will result in healthier food options across the country,” said the senator. “From smoke-free laws to healthier school lunches, New York City inspires the nation to promote healthier choices and combat obesity.”

It’s hard to argue with the facts, and the impulse to legislate away bad habits is seductive. After all, high levels of salt and sodium in food can lead to high blood pressure and other heart conditions – the nation’s leading killer. In a recent statement, Gillibrand pointed out that, according to the American

Heart Association, cardiovascular illness accounts for over 40 percent of all deaths in America. The American Heart Association also estimates that cardiovascular illness cost the United States $475 billion in health care costs, lost productivity and disability in 2009 alone.

Senator Gillibrand also unveiled her plan to ban all trans fats in school meals, rid schools of sugary snacks and sodas, increase the federal reimbursement rate for schools participating in the National School Lunch program so they can afford healthier, more nutritional meals for students, make the program’s enrollment process easier for families, and offer our children more opportunities to get the amount of exercise they need to stay healthy.

The Cabalist’s Daughter: A Novel of Practical Messianic Redemption by Yori Yanover is the most clever action-packed Jewish novel ever written. Yanover has crafted the Jewish answer to the blockbuster TV action series “24.”

Yanover tells a story of a master cabalist in Brooklyn – father of the messiah. With allusions to the Hasidic mystical dynasty and to ancestral legend, Yanover keeps one eye on Judaism’s core beliefs and the other on the Kojak-like tensions that make up the Lower East Side of New York City.

Does this description of this book seem like it marks a totally fresh and novel writer’s formula? You bet it does.

Is the world ready for Yori’s outlandish messiah story replete with “firefights, helicopter battles and strange visions?” In an era that has witnessed one bestselling Christian apocalypse series of books after another, it is high time that we, the founding dramatic Israelites, came back to the center of the stage and offered up our answer, as Yanover does indeed in this great new book.

Duet For Solo VoiceTheater for the New City presents a

special production of “Duet for Solo Voice” by David Scott Milton, directed by Stanley Allan Sherman and acted by Jonathan Slaff, through February 14.

The play is a dark comedy about Leonard Pelican, a paranoid night clerk in a seedy Times Square hotel, circa 1970, who thinks that the Russians are coming...for him! He is pursued throughout the play by his paranoid fantasy: a KGB agent named Vassily Ilianovich Chort. The play, then, is the eccentric whirl of Leonard’s entrapment of Chort while the gravelly-voiced Bolshevik is zeroing in for the kill. One actor plays both parts. It’s a play of lively absurdity, cruel comedy and pathos, with hilarious chase scenes

and madcap physical comedy.Playwright David Scott Milton was an

early member of the avant-garde Theater Genesis, along with Sam Shepard, Leonard Melfi and Murray Mednick. His Off-Off Broadway productions included The Interrogation Room, Halloween Mask, The Metaphysical Cop, and Scraping Bottom.

Actor Jonathan Slaff has appeared in some of TV’s funniest and most classic commercials, including Federal Express and Wendy’s. Dialog from these spots became part of the American lexicon, like “Parts is parts!” and “You’ve all done an excellent job…except Cruller!”

Through February 14, Th-Sat at 8:00 p.m.; Sun at 3:00 p.m., 155 First Ave. (at East 10th Street), running time one hour, $10 gen. admission; audience reservations: 212.254.1109. Online ticketing: www.theaterforthenewcity.net, show’s website: www.duetforsolovoice.com.

LES Food Co-Op Turnsto the Experts

Our friends at the local news blog The Lo-Down (www.thelodownny.com) report on a public meeting that took place last month at The Educational Alliance, where representatives from the Park Slope Food Co-op (PSFC) and the East 4th Street Food Co-op (4SFC) answered questions about forming a local food co-op. Danny Rosenthal, an Educational Alliance vice president, hosted the meeting.

Joe Holtz, one of the founders of the wildly successful Park Slope Food Co-op, (established in 1972, currently more than 15,000 members) suggested figuring out what will work for the community by staying open to new energy and not becoming too possessive. He said PSFC “understood cooperation as working together, not simply investing money together.” You must be a working member in order to shop there (just under 3 work

hours a month), which eliminates class differences.

Lippe, from the 4th Street Food Coop, said 4SFC allows paying members who don’t work, but they receive a smaller discount—and public shoppers, who don’t receive any discount. The public shoppers end up subsidizing the discounts for the 120 or so members.

Will residents be willing to volunteer their time, wonders the Lo-Down. Should the co-op be open to the public? Should there be discounts for low income residents? A steering committee will address these issues.

Urs Fischer: Marguerite de Ponty For his first large-scale solo

presentation in an American museum, Urs Fischer has taken over all three of the New Museum’s gallery floors to create a series of immersive installations and hallucinatory environments.

The exhibition “Urs Fischer: Marguerite de Ponty” is the culmination of four years of work. Neither a traditional survey nor a retrospective,

the exhibition features new productions and iconic works combined to compose a series of gigantic still lifes and walk-in tableaux. Choreographed entirely by the artist, the exhibition is a descent into Fischer’s universe, revealing the world of an artist who has emerged as one of the most exceptional talents working today.On view through February 7.

Nikhil Chopra: Yog Raj Chitrakar: Memory Drawing IX

Nikhil Chopra combines approaches associated with theater, portraiture, landscape drawing, photography, art actions, and installation to chronicle the world through live performance. As the Victorian draughtsman Yog Raj Chitrakar, Chopra haunts bustling market squares, forgotten old buildings, city streets, and museum galleries to make large-scale drawings.

“Yog Raj Chitrakar: Memory Drawing IX” is inspired by the 1920s and New York City’s role in that defining moment in the history of the world – a time of deep physical, imagined, and sociological changes impacted by immigration, architecture, and labor,

caught between two world wars. As the character Yog Raj Chitrakar, the artist activates the gallery, transformed into a turn-of the-century tableau vivant, for five days. Searching at the edge of the Atlantic, the wanderer also travels through Chinatown and Lower Manhattan, imagining America, and eventually chronicling New York City from the vantage point of Ellis Island. During the performance at the New Museum, the exhibition is in perpetual transformation. At its conclusion, remnants of Chopra’s occupation of the space remain on display as an installation.On view through February 14.

Museum as Hub: In and Out of Context

“In and Out of Context” is conceived as an evolving exhibition that incorporates works commissioned by Museum as Hub partners as well as works by an extended network of artists and organizations from around the world. Central to this presentation is the design of the Museum as Hub space by Choi Jeong Hwa that serves as

an “envelope” for the coming year—a flexible, playful, yet functional space that is an active zone for viewing, discussion, and activity. The Museum as Hub space will be activated by public programs such as a seminar series, Propositions, and other informal open discussions. Additional works, projects, and discussions will be introduced to “In and Out of Context” as the project develops to offer new perspectives and demonstrate the evolution of ideas.On view through June 30.

Is Diss a System? A Milt Gross Comic Reader

Author Ari Y. Kelman interviewed by Harry Katz, editor, Cartoon America: Comic Art at the Library of Congress.

Kelman presents some of the most hilarious works of Milt Gross, the forefather of American Jewish humor. A cartoonist and animator, Gross first found fame in the late 1920s writing comic strips and newspaper columns in the unmistakable accent of Jewish immigrants.

Working during the decline of vaudeville and the rise of the newspaper cartoon strip, Gross captured American humor in transition. He adapted the sounds of ethnic humor from the stage to the page and developed both a sound and a sensibility that grew out of an

intimate knowledge of immigrant life. His parodies of beloved poetry sounded like reading primers set loose on the Lower East Side, while his accounts of Jewish tenement residents echoed with the mistakes and malapropisms born of the immigrant experience.

Ari Y. Kelman is an assistant professor of American Studies at University of California, Davis. Harry L. Katz served as Curator of Popular and Applied Graphic Art and Head Curator in the Prints and Photographs Division at the Library of Congress from 1991–2004. He is the editor of Baseball Americana: Treasures from the Library of Congress and Herblock: The Life and Work of the Great Political Cartoonist, among other titles.Sunday, February 7, 1:30 p.m.

Red Orchestra: The Story of the Berlin Underground and the Circle of Friends Who Resisted Hitler

Author Anne Nelson and filmmaker Stefan Roloff (The Red Orchestra, 2004), whose father was in the Red Orchestra; moderated by Bonnie Gurewitsch, Museum curator

Red Orchestra tells the compelling story of an intrepid band of German artists, intellectuals, and bureaucrats and their dangerous battle to unveil the brutal secrets of their fascist employers. The book documents this riveting story through the eyes of Greta Kuckhoff, a German working mother.

Greta and others in her circle were appalled by Nazi anti-Semitism and took action on many fronts to support their Jewish friends and neighbors. As Nazi abuses grew in ferocity and reach, resistance was the only possible avenue for Greta and her compatriots. These included Arvid Harnack who collected anti-Nazi intelligence while working for their Economic Ministry; Arvid’s wife, Mildred, who immigrated to her


husband’s native country and who would become the only American woman executed by Hitler; Harro Schulze-Boysen, the glamorous Luftwaffe intelligence officer who smuggled anti-Nazi information to allies abroad; his wife, Libertas, who coaxed favors from an unsuspecting Göring; John Sieg, a railroad worker from Detroit who publicized Nazi atrocities from a Communist underground printing press; and Greta Kuckhoff’s husband, Adam, a theatrical colleague of Brecht’s who found employment in Goebbels’s propaganda unit in order to undermine the regime.

Anne Nelson is an author,

playwright, and professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. Stefan Roloff is a painter, video artist, filmmaker, and pioneer of digital video. In his film, Red Orchestra, Roloff tells the story of the resistance group. The son of Helmut Roloff, one of the Orchestra’s last surviving members, Roloff used interviews with his father and combined rare footage and unusual animation techniques to bring the true story of the Red Orchestra to life.

Bonnie Gurewitsch is an archivist and curator at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Wednesday, February 10, 6:30 p.m.

Don’t Miss Purim at the Stanton

On occasion, the holiday of Purim plays havoc with the Jewish calendar. This is because, to commemorate the biblical megillah story of Queen Esther fasting before she went about saving her nation from destruction (“They tried to kill us, they didn’t, let’s eat!”), Jews are commanded to fast from dawn to dark on the eve of the holiday, and only then to hear the megillah and get really sauced.

But when the eve of Purim falls on the Jewish Sabbath, Jews are forbidden to fast, and so a bizarre calendrical compromise takes place, whereby the fast of Esther is observed on the Thursday before, while the feast of Esther starts Saturday night after daek.

All religions pick up weird stuff over the generations, except that this one is actually not a bad oddity, the nice people at the Stanton Street Shul tell us, because this year folks won’t be entering the holiday of mirth all grumpy and headachy, and should be able instead to ease into the celebration – and the liquor – in comfort.

So don’t miss the Stanton Street Shul party, Saturday night, February 27, at 6:25 p.m. It’s truly where you want to be that night. The party is free and you can bring your own booze or rely on the local supply…See you at the Stanton Street Shul, 180 Stanton Street, bet. Clinton and Attorney.
