Author Stav Appel presents a provocative thesis: that the early Tarot served as a secret tool for Jewish education during centuries of religious persecution. Examining the Jean Noblet Tarot, created in Paris around 1650, through a Jewish interpretive lens, Appel reveals what he believes are hidden Hebrew letters, Torah narratives, ritual objects, and Jewish holidays embedded within the cards’ imagery. This fascinating presentation invites us to reconsider the origins of the Tarot and explore the possibility that a hidden world of Jewish memory and symbolism can be found in its images. Come hear the argument, see the cards, and reach your own conclusion as to whether a secret Torah has been hiding undetected in an old deck of Tarot cards for nearly four hundred years. https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/events/upcoming-public-programs/talk-and-tarot-reading-torah-tarot-stav-appel?utm_source=calendar&utm_medium=visitne&utm_campaign=talkandtarot

What This Retreat Is About Your brain is the most metabolically demanding organ in your body. Comprising only about 2% of your body weight, it consumes more than 20% of your total daily energy. This retreat is not about memory tricks or supplements. It is about understanding the deep connection between how your metabolism works and how clearly, calmly, and vigorously your brain functions. One of the most striking discoveries in recent years is that brain health is intricately connected to metabolic health — conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are not only linked to metabolic dysfunction, but also to mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline.We now know that elevated blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, and impaired cerebral glucose metabolism are well-documented contributors to neuronal dysfunction — especially in Alzheimer's disease, which is sometimes referred to as "Type 3 diabetes."The good news? Food is one of the most powerful tools we have to change this. The Science Behind the Weekend Fuel and the Brain The brain mostly utilizes glucose, but it has evolved to exploit additional fuels — such as ketones — especially during fasting or periods of reduced carbohydrate intake. With aging, the brain can become less efficient at utilizing glucose, but brain cells can still utilize ketones efficiently, providing a rationale for metabolic dietary interventions.The Gut-Brain Connection The gut-brain axis is a complex bidirectional communication network between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. The gut microbiota — often called the "second brain" — influences the CNS through pathways such as neurotransmitter production and immune modulation, affecting mood, cognition, and emotional responses.

Over the past ten years, Tim Laman has aimed his camera at charismatic bird species, trying to tell their stories to raise conservation awareness. In partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Netflix and the BBC, Laman has made films about critically endangered Helmeted Hornbills, Birds-of-Paradise and Scarlet Macaws and the people trying to save them from chick poachers. In this presentation, he will share the stories of these projects and discuss the potential impacts of different styles of natural history films, as well as the potential for scientific discovery during filming projects. The hope is that by telling the stories of these charismatic species we can make an impact for conservation, not only for the birds, but also for their forest habitats and all their other inhabitants.

18+, Positive I.D. Required Will Evans creates music as an open invitation—to drop your guard, tune in, and move through the world a little more freely. Rooted in folk tradition yet unconfined by genre, his songs blend thoughtful, quotable lyrics with sunlit grooves and global textures, encouraging listeners to reconnect with their most honest selves. Based in Rhode Island, the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has built a devoted following by pairing sound with intention, most notably through his Kind Folk community, which turns shows into shared experiences of kindness, charity, and collective uplift. Known for his dynamic live performances, Evans weaves together acoustic guitar, handpan, didgeridoo, beatboxing, and percussion to create a fluid, organic sound that feels both grounded and expansive. His 2025 release The Wild Unknown pushes that vision further, exploring the crossroads of contemporary folk, electronica, and rock, with collaborations from artists like Tristan Prettyman, Dirtwire, and Moontricks. From sold-out rooms across the U.S. and Europe to stages shared with Crosby & Nash, Grace Potter, Bruce Hornsby,Dirtwire, Trevor Hall, and Railroad Earth, Will Evans continues to build a musical space where connection comes first—and everyone belongs. Steve Rondo has built a following across the Northeast, touring beach towns, dive bars, and regional festivals. Songs like Flowers of La Jolla and Afternoon Rebellion showcase his blend of heartfelt storytelling and guitar-driven arrangements — music made for long drives and reflection. A surfer at heart, Rondo brings coastal atmosphere into his songwriting. His songs mirror the ocean’s push and pull — building into anthemic choruses before settling into calm. Themes of freedom, uncertainty, and searching for direction run throughout his work, capturing the feeling of chasing waves and dreams. Live, Rondo and his band balance raw emotion with communal energy. Highlights include opening for Dermot Kennedy in Portland, Maine in 2022, plus performances at Levitate Music Festival and 92.5 The River’s Riverfest, cementing their reputation as a rising live act in the region.

Sometimes we have to leave what we know behind in order to find ourselves. For British artist Bess Atwell, a spontaneous move to Canada, where she lived for nine months, proved the catalyst for one of her most vividly realised, honest albums to date. Cut a Figure, her fourth record, doesn’t just trace the outlines; it digs deep as Atwell analyzes a lifetime’s worth of relationships, decisions, and motivations. To make such an album, she had to abandon some of the creative processes that had become second nature. “The songs I really enjoyed performing from my last record were the rare moments where I put down any instruments, and it was just me singing to my audience, which can be a bit scary,” she says, referring to 2024’s Aaron Dessner-produced Light Sleeper. “But those were the songs that seemed to connect the most, and where I felt most free to actually live with the song and what it was about.” She reclaims it all on "Tonight I Am Allowed," enveloped by looping textures of piano, analogue synths, and shimmering drum patterns. “I’m tired of acting,” she sings, “Like it’s gone wrong when maybe/ This is just how they made me/ And I become what I was.” Atwell’s voice is as beautiful as ever, but there’s a palpable defiance in the way she sings here, as though she’s physically pushing back against the masks society has forced her to wear for most of her life: “This is just the way I am.” It’s a powerful phrase, and one that echoes throughout this extraordinary record.
