A Balebostishe Brew with Boaz Willis

Der Nister

Discover how coffee played a pivotal role in the lives of early 20th century Jewish women in New York.

Der Nister Downtown Jewish Center

<p>Embark on a journey into the untold stories of Eastern European immigrant women in America during the first half of the 20th century, where an unassuming beverage held profound implications. Within the pages of the most circulated New York Yiddish press publications like Forvertz and Der Tog, seemingly ordinary advertisements from Maxwell House, Sanka, and Beech-Nut concealed a deeper narrative of assimilation. As we immerse ourselves in this world, we discover how a simple cup of coffee quietly served as a catalyst, effortlessly weaving together cultures and communities. Join us as we delve into the intricate tapestry of these women&#x27;s lives, where a shared experience around a steaming cup provided a subtle, yet potent, thread of connection, empowerment, and the gradual merging of identities. </p><p>M﻿ake sure to park either next to the LA Cafe, or on Hill St. and walk. We will let you through the front, but if you&#x27;re late, be sure to dial Der Nister on the call box. Go up to the 14th floor and all the way down the hall.</p>
