SUMMARY:Writing a Personal Urban History —The Importance of Genealogy and Local History for Understanding US Histor
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry and livestreamed on Zoom. The online version of this event will be live captioned. Please register below. \nIn-Person Registration \nLivestream Registration \nAcademic historians have sometimes struggled to understand how local and family histories illuminate national histories. Are they just exceptional\, or can they provide new insights into some of the most challenging historical questions? Leslie M. Harris is among a group of historians who have turned to their own family and personal experiences as inspiration for writing history. The Newberry’s collections on local history and genealogy provide a productive intellectual context for her work. \nIn this program\, Dr. Harris will discuss with the Newberry’s Daniel Greene what it means for her\, as a professional historian\, to turn to her own and her family’s life as an inspiration for writing history. \nThe David L. Wagner Distinguished Lectureship for Humanistic Inquiry Series is funded by David L. Wagner and Renie B. Adams.

SUMMARY:Starkbierfest Open Haus
DESCRIPTION:Friday March 17th is a night of fun at our Open Haus! This month’s theme is Starkbierfest! We will have German Bier on tap and food for purchase!  \nAfter the debauchery of Faschingszeit (carnival season)\, we have started into Fastenzeit (lent). Fortify yourself for this time of austereness by trying some “liquid food” – the genius invention of 17th century Paulaner monk Salvator who decided to help his fasting brothers by brewing a batch of “strong beer” which was rich in nutrients and calories. \nTo this day\, all of Bavaria’s breweries create a version of Starkbier during lent. Just like the originator\, Salvator from the Paulaner Brewery\, most varieties end with the “-ator” appendix: Optimator\, Triumphator\, Maximator\, Terminator\, and countless others. During our March Stammtisch Open Haus you can taste some of those delicious brews. \nOur Open Haus is a great way to meet new friends\, or bring your friends and introduce them to the Haus! This event is located in our popular 2nd Floor Brauhaus. \nFree parking at 5/3 Bank after 6:00 PM located at Western and Gunnison

SUMMARY:Stained-Glass in Chicago's Synagogues
DESCRIPTION:When we think of stained glass windows\, we often think of Churches. Synagogues also have a rich tradition of stained-glass windows. Join us as we explore how these windows beautify sacred spaces across Chicago. \nIn 2021 Chicagoans were alerted to the possibility of the Loop Synagogue closing due to the impact of the pandemic. Fortunately\, the synagogue has recovered\, but the possibility raised concern about the fate of its magnificent stained glass window\, “Let There be Light” by Abraham Rattner. While this is undoubtedly the city’s best-known synagogue stained-glass window\, there are many others\, ranging from nineteenth century anonymous works to some by well-known artists. We will feature them in the program. \nThis presentation will expand our understanding of stained-glass windows in area synagogues as we explore the artists behind these windows and what happens to the windows when synagogues move and/or close. \nThis is a virtual program with a $15 registration fee and is free for CAC Members \nPRESENTER: SUSAN JACOBSON\n \nSusan Jacobson has been a docent since 2008 and gives nine different tours. She is co-director of Synagogues by Bus and Tiffany Treasures. Prior to becoming a docent\, Susan enjoyed a 40-year career in academic librarianship at the University of Pennsylvania\, Columbia University\, and the University of Illinois in Chicago.
