On Tuesday, July 16, at 8 PM Eastern time, I'll provide livestreamed accompaniment for the 1920 silent film _The Golem_. The movie deals with
the legend that some time around 1600, Rabbi Loew of Prague created and animated a golem to protect the Jews of Prague. Judah Loew was a real
person, a noted scholar in the Prague Jewish community.
The movie is a mix of the good and the not so good, but it's
surprisingly sympathetic for its time in its treatment of the Jews.
I'm accompanying it again at the Plaistow, NH Library on Friday, July
26, at 1 PM.
The link for the livestream is

If you're inclined to give it a Like in advance, that will help its discoverability. It will remain up for replaying afterward, so if you're
in an inconvenient time zone or otherwise can't make it, you can watch
it later.
