  • Join us for a celebration of the glorious reunification of the Polish Jewish Republic. “Poland is not yet lost as long as we are alive” is a satirical, futuristic vision of the Polish reality, in which the state of Israel has been destroyed and three million Israeli Jews have returned as refugees to Poland. In this alternative reality, the Polish president is movie star Maciej Stuhr (played by the actual Maciej Stuhr) who himself made the decision to convert to Judaism, inspiring 4 million non-Jewish Poles to follow suit and convert themselves. Poland, now a country with over 7 million Jews, is on the eve of the referendum vote to determine whether Poland will become the new Jewish state. “Poland is not yet lost …” is a provocation exploring both the seduction and dangers of nationalism. It is written, directed and performed by Polish Jews, Dorota Abbe, born in Poland and Michael Rubenfeld, a native of Canada, who play versions of themselves in the performance. Structured much like a political rally, the audience is invited to imagine Poland’s incredible possible future Jewish reality; a world of equality … for all Jewish people. The performance is in Polish with English subtitles. After the screening there will be conversation with the creator, Abbe and Rubenfeld.

  • About 'Weekend Edition Saturday'

    Saturday mornings are made for Weekend Edition Saturday, the program wraps up the week's news and offers a mix of analysis and features on a wide range of topics, including arts, sports, entertainment, and human interest stories. The two-hour program is hosted by NPR's Peabody Award-winning Scott Simon.

    Drawing on his experience in covering 10 wars and stories in all 50 states and seven continents, Simon brings a humorous, sophisticated and often moving perspective to each show. He is as comfortable having a conversation with a major world leader as he is talking with a Hollywood celebrity or the guy next door.

    Weekend Edition Saturday has a unique and entertaining roster of other regular contributors. Marin Alsop, conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, talks about music. Daniel Pinkwater, one of the biggest names in children's literature, talks about and reads stories with Simon. Financial journalist Joe Nocera follows the economy. Howard Bryant of EPSN.com and NPR's Tom Goldman chime in on sports. Keith Devlin, of Stanford University, unravels the mystery of math, and Will Grozier, a London cabbie, talks about good books that have just been released, and what well-read people leave in the back of his taxi. Simon contributes his own award-winning essays, which are sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant.
