‘Oy!’ will make your zayde laugh

(11/12/19 11:00am)

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into “Oy!” on its Nov. 7 opening night. I was certainly not expecting the first thing I saw to be a bunch of boss-ladies (and Lucian Dobroszycki ’23) in utterly fabulous pantsuits, but that’s what I got, and I am not complaining. I would like to dedicate this entire opening paragraph to costume designer Kat Lawrence ’21 for the many superb pantsuits and blazers in this show, as well as the heels that Shoshi Finkel ’20 wore in the scene, “Can This Marriage Be Saved.” 



JustArts Spotlight On The Faculty/Staff Art Exhibition 11/11/2019

  One of the oldest objects in my house in China was a wooden baseball bat. During the war time in the 1940s, my grandparents fled home in Wuhan for a few years when the city was occupied. When the war ended, they made their way back to the city, with not much left in the house except a baseball bat left by the occupier who was no longer there. Fascinated by this equipment from a sport that almost no one watched back home, it was kept by my family until today, as a token from an era. 

















Around the globe in two hours with Women in World Jazz

(11/05/19 11:00am)

   On Oct. 29, the Women in World Jazz troupe held an event at Cholmondeley’s Coffee House in collaboration with Brandeis’ Hebrew Program. The ensemble consists of five female musicians who travel around the New England area to celebrate and educate the public about different cultures and styles of music from around the world. The group specializies in world jazz, and during the performance, they paid tribute to female composers and vocalists from different eras and countries. The act was broken up into seven stops at some of those countries: Israel, Chile, Japan, South Africa, Cape Verde, Germany and Brazil. Throughout the performances, the members of the group often interacted with the audience by handing out instruments to play, as well as relics from the countries. This interactive and exciting event captivated both students and faculty members and, more importantly, helped showcase respective cultures and diversity on campus. 


Parasite is chaotic, beautiful, elegant and glorious

(11/05/19 11:00am)

  South Korean director Bong Joon Ho’s Palme d’Or winning, Cannes Film Festival title “Parasite,” is as difficult to review as it is a pleasure to watch. The film, which blends family drama, satire and psychological thriller, is so chock-full of surprises that it almost feels like a disservice to rob unwitting readers of the opportunity to view the film unspoiled. But nevertheless, I must digress and shower praise on Bong’s latest offering, which combines its performances, score, cinematography and script to miraculous effect. I promise not to give too many details of this film away.
