TBC Book Club
Thursday, June 17, 2021 @ 7:30 pm
The TBC Book Group will be discussing "Roads Taken: The Great Jewish Migrations to the New World and the Peddlers Who Forged the Way" by Hasia R. Diner. Ms. Diner tells the story of millions of discontented young Jewish men who sought opportunity abroad, leaving parents, wives, and sweethearts behind. Wherever they went, they learned unfamiliar languages and customs, endured loneliness, battled the elements, and proffered goods from the metropolis to people of the hinterlands. In the Irish Midlands, the Adirondacks of New York, the mining camps of New South Wales, and so many other places, these traveling men brought change—to themselves and the families who later followed, to the women whose homes and communities they entered, and ultimately to the geography of Jewish history.

In Our Community ...
Documentary film Of Animals and Men
Tuesday, June 22, 7:00 pm
Socially distanced screening in a single-screen, 500- seat theater. In times of war, the most endangered species was man. During the Second World War, under the Nazis’ noses, about 300 people, mainly Jews, found shelter at the Warsaw Zoo. Of Animals and Men tells the amazing story of the Zabinski family, the Warsaw zookeepers who helped rescue and hide Jews during these horrific times. Bonus content includes an update of what the zoo looks like today, the zookeepers' house, and the zoo cages where Jews were hidden. Additionally, there will be an interview with Teresa Zabinska (their daughter) that was not included in the documentary. Click here for tickets or call The Ridgefield Playhouse box office at (203) 438-5795.
