The museum presents “Every Minute Counts – Photographs by Katherine Joseph.” Katherine Joseph was born in the Ukraine and immigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. After a childhood in El Paso and Chicago, she made an adventurous move to New York City to pursue a passion for photography. She landed a job as staff photographer for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, where she explored the relationship between worker, machine and the industrial environment. In 1941 she embarked on a photojournalistic expedition to Mexico to demonstrate the durability of the “Americar” manufactured by the Willys – Overland Motor Company. Joseph continued to document American workers on the home front after returning to New York. At the end of the war, like millions of American women of her generation, she set aside her camera to marry and raise a family. Katherine Joseph’s photographs display a profound respect for the fundamental dignity of the people she brought into focus. This is the first public exhibition of her work.

What if you were Noah, and God told you the oceans were going to rise? Would you build an ark, or try to stop the flood? Award-winning musician, writer and Jewish educator Alicia Jo Rabins considers questions like these, creating art from the place where ancient Jewish texts intersect with contemporary life. Come enjoy songs, performance, and innovative Torah learning about some of Torah’s lesser-known characters and stories. Ancient Jewish texts come to life, re-imagined through a modern, personal lens which refracts the beauty and complexity of these ideas and considers how they relate to our lives today.
