BNC MISSION STATEMENT Brandeis National Committee is dedicated to providing philanthropic support to Brandeis University, a distinguished liberal arts and research university founded by the American Jewish community. Its membership is connected to the university through fundraising and through activities that reflect the values on which the university was founded: academic excellence, social justice, non-sectarianism, and service to the community.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Gotham members,

As Winter arrives and Spring beckons, we look forward to another wonderful season of our smorgasbord of intellectual and stimulating events to entice you to join and meet new friends.

We want to include everyone in our events and hope you will participate in our programs.

While we enjoy our many social and educational events, we always remember our goal is supporting Brandeis University’s renowned academic program and neurological research labs. We are giving gifted students the opportunity to pursue their educational dreams.

As the Brandeis National Committee celebrates 70 years, we remain a vibrant, focused organization committed to social justice, academic excellence and service to our community.

Brandeis has had an astounding year, highlighted by the following:

• Professor and biologist Suzanne Paradis discovered a treatment for epilepsy. • Brandeis was ranked 5th place by the Princeton Review for community service. • The Crown Center for Middle East Studies partnered with the Brookings Institute. • Professors Michael Rosbash and Jeff Hall were awarded the Nobel Prize for physiology

discovering how plants, animals and humans adapt their biological rhythms so that it is synchronized with the Earths revolutions.

We were excited to launch the Magnify the Mind Campaign which is advancing neuroscience research through the purchase of a two-photon microscope. This new microscope will enable researchers and students to observe brain activity in real time, allowing our scientists to make new discoveries toward the treatment of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS and Autism.

During his imprisonment, Wiesenthal dreamed of one day re-entering society and establishing himself as an architect, but the atrocities of the camp pointed Wiesenthal's life and career in a much different direction. When Wiesenthal returned to the outside world, with 89 of his family members exterminated by the Holocaust, he vowed to track down and bring to justice as many of the perpetrators of the Nazi atrocity as he could find - and spent years at this task, Wiesenthal helped incriminate an astonishing 1,100 individuals, including the leaders of the Sobibor and Treblinka camps, Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele - and his overarching goal, astonishingly, was not cold blooded revenge but a simple love of humanity - the need to free future generations from the dark shadow of the Nazi threat.

She then went on to Harvard and from there to

the University of Cambridge for a PHD. Highly acclaimed by JD Vance (author of Hillbilly Elegy) and Susannah Cahalan (author of Brain on Fire), it has been on the NY Times best-seller list for the past 35 weeks.

Wednesday, April 3 - General Meeting/Study Group – Dona Kahn on sexual harassment 10:30 a.m. General Meeting (open to all BNC members) 1:00 p.m. Study Group (open to Study Group Members only) Dona Kahn, a member of Brandeis' third graduating class, received her law degree from Rutgers and since then has been a practicing lawyer (rare for a female in those days). She is an expert in employment law at the firm of Anderson Kill and will speak to us about sexual harassment issues. She has argued many cases in the U.S. courts of appeal and one before the U.S. Supreme Court. She has dealt with issues involving discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims. Her terrific intelligence and energy make her fascinating to listen to and her subject couldn't be timelier! Thursday, April 4 - His & Hers: Frida Kahlo at the Brooklyn Museum - $35 (Limited to 25 members)

Time: 10:45 a.m. Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY 11238 Join us for a docent-guided tour of the new Exhibit of Frida Kahlo’s work. Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s unique and immediately recognizable style was an integral part of her identity. Kahlo came to define herself through her ethnicity, disability, and politics, all of which were at the heart of her work. Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving is the largest U.S. exhibition in ten years devoted to the iconic painter and the first in the United States to display a collection of her clothing and other personal possessions, which were rediscovered and inventoried in 2004 after being locked away since Kahlo’s death, in 1954. There will be time to browse the museum on your own after the tour. After the tour you can join us for a “Dutch treat” lunch at Cheryl’s Global Soul (the restaurant of a former Food Network chef and only a five-minute walk from the museum). To get to the Museum by subway, take the 2/3 trains to Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn

Museum. Transfers to the 2/3 trains are available from 4/5 lines at Nevins Street and from the B, D, Q, N, R lines at Atlantic Terminal-Barclays Center. Please let us know if you will be joining us for lunch when you send in your checks. Day of trip contact information for Linda is 516-984-5523. Send checks payable to BNC to Linda Hill, 2 Columbus Avenue, #40A, New York 10023.

Explore the place where hit shows were started, classic movies filmed, and iconic caricatures were drawn. You will get a backstage look at the restaurant with access to the normally closed off 2nd and 4th floors. The walls are covered in caricatures of Broadways most famous personalities, and you’ll hear the stories behind the images and the deals that went down at the bar. Tour will be led by a longtime Sardi’s staffer who may have a few eyewitness stories you won’t hear anywhere

else. The restaurant is closed at this hour so exact meeting instructions will be provided later. For further information contact Maxine Schweitzer at [email protected] or 212-369-9641. (Day of event only 917-841-9171). Send checks payable to BNC to Maxine Schweitzer, 141 East 88th Street #8H, New York 10128.

Tuesday, April 16 - Tour of Exclusive Decorator Showrooms at “200 Lex.”, NY Design Center and lunch - $48 (25 members). 11:00 a.m. Meet in the Lobby of NYDC, 200 Lexington Avenue (between 32nd and 33rd streets)

Send check payable to BNC to Rhoda Barkin, 1725 York Avenue, #10C, New York 10128. Thursday, April 18 – His & Hers: – Movie and Discussion: Enemies: A Love Story - $20 (30 members) 12:00 p.m. – Optional Dutch treat lunch, Barbaresco Restaurant, Lexington Avenue between 64th and 65th 1:30 p.m. – Movie – Barbizon Condominium, 140 East 63rd Street This film, based on the novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer, deals with the lives of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, who find it difficult to abide by religious morals and question a God who could let the Holocaust occur. Based on the brilliant, enigmatic novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer, this is a quietly haunting film about an aloof Jewish intellectual (Ron Silver) who managed to hide from the Nazis during WWII and now, in 1949, leads a double life in Coney Island, NY. He's married to his wartime (non-Jewish) protector (Margaret Sophie Stein) and fooling around with a sexy married Jewish woman (Lena Olin). Things get even more complicated when his first wife (Angelica Houston), thought dead in the Holocaust, returns. Enemies, a Love Story is such an intriguing film because it refuses to be tamed, to settle down into a nice, comforting parable with a lesson to teach us. It is about the tumult of the heart, and Mazursky tells its story without compromise. There is no key to tell us how to feel. No easy laughs as Herman races from one woman to another, but no cheap pathos, either, at their fates. Indeed, this is not even a movie about how the women are victimized; each one receives more or less what her fate has dictated for her, and Herman, who suffers so grievously, is punished mostly by his own knowledge of what a rat he is. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Send checks payable to BNC-Gotham to, Steven Hill, 2 Columbus Avenue, Apt 40A , New York 10023



MAY Wednesday May 1 - General Meeting/Study Group - Stacey Richman, Criminal Defense Lawyer 11:00 a.m. General Meeting (Open to all BNC Members) 1 p.m. Study Group (Open to Study Group Members Only) Our speaker, Stacey Richman, graduated from the Benjamin N. Cardoza School of Law and has been honored by being chosen in the listing of Super Lawyers every year since 2012. She will speak to us on about some of her experiences. Initially working in Los Angeles where she practiced entertainment litigation, she returned to New York and to her roots in criminal defense law, working with her father, Murray Richman (also known as "Don't Worry Murray"). In 2011, she started her own firm with colleague Renee Hill. She notes that her two worlds have come together explaining that “while entertainers get into trouble with criminal allegations, criminals can be very entertaining." She has been privileged to be valued by the famous, infamous and the not famous. Although criminal defense law gets a very bad reputation on a multitude of levels it is a critical component of our democracy to ensure that our Constitutions, both federal and state, are safeguarded for every citizen. Justice Brandeis' legacy and roots demonstrate the promise of intelligence, reason, courage and the importance of law for a nation to retain its very civility. This legacy remains acutely important today. What a wonderful opportunity it is for us to hear someone like her!

Winner of Prix Goncourt 2017 (prestigious French literary prize) When Myriam, a French-Moroccan lawyer, decides to return to work after having children, she and her husband look for the perfect nanny for their two young children. They never dreamed they would find Louise. Louise is a quiet, polite, devoted woman who sings to the children, cleans the family’s chic apartment in Paris’s upscale tenth arrondissement, stays late without complaint, and hosts enviable kiddie parties. But as the couple and the nanny become more dependent on one another, jealousy, resentment and suspicions mount, shattering the idyllic tableau. Written by an immensely talented writer and building tension with every page, The Perfect Nanny is a compulsive, riveting, bravely observed exploration of power, class, race domesticity and motherhood.

HELP BNC MEET ITS $500,000 CAMPAIGN GOAL!

MAGNIFY THE MIND: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is the goal of the BNC Magnify the Mind campaign and what is the timeframe? Magnify the

Mind is a one-year campaign and our goal is to raise $500,000 to purchase a high speed two-photon microscope. The campaign timeline is: July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019.

2. How will this microscope help advance neuroscience research and what is unique about this

microscope? This new microscope will enable Brandeis researchers to observe brain activity in real time. In order to see what is really happening across the brain simultaneously, Brandeis needs a microscope that processes images quickly. This microscope will also allow researchers to zoom in and look at connections between neurons on a millisecond time scale. Scientists can observe rapid changes as they are occurring and look at how neurons behave. By being able to visualize what is happening in an awake brain, Brandeis scientists can better understand patterns that may hold the key to answers for healthy brains versus those with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS or autism. One of our best hopes to find cures and treatments for these diseases is to improve our understanding of the brain using resonant scanning.

3. What kind of impact will helping fund this campaign have for addressing neurodegenerative diseases?

Brandeis University is well known for its commitment to basic brain research. Our best hope for finding cures, treatments, and preventing brain diseases is to invest in research that will allow us to understand how the brain works. This microscope is expected to be shared by several labs at Brandeis. Our researchers’ ability to continue to do important cutting-edge research is critically dependent on keeping up with technological advances. Brandeis has immense intellectual capital and it is necessary that we invest in essential technology to keep up. Without this equipment we are limited in the questions we can ask to understand neurodegenerative diseases because we need more sophisticated technology to study the brain. For example, new experiments will be able to be performed that can study the difference between a healthy brain and how a brain changes when a neurological disease is impacting the brain. These powerful observations will help scientists develop world-changing discoveries that can improve the way we live.
