COMMUNITY DAYS
Every Tuesday at 1 pm
Our Tuesday program is brought to you in conjunction with JCC Chicago.
Tuesday, July 14—Community Days: The Loop: The ‘L’ Tracks that Shaped and Saved Chicago. If you enjoy Chicago history, join us for this fascinating book review and discussion with author and journalist Patrick T. Reardon, who discusses his book The Loop. He’ll discuss how the elevated structure gave its name to the downtown, linked together Chicago’s transportation grid, gave the city a center that served all Chicagoans, and saved the downtown when those in other cities withered.
Tuesday, July 21—Community Days: Revolutionary Philadelphia: Cradle of Liberty. Philadelphia played a major role in the development of the America we know today. Meet the Founding Fathers and the soldiers who fought in the American Revolution. Tour Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Follow in George Washington’s footsteps as he fought at Germantown, crossed the Delaware River, and spent the winter at Valley Forge.
Tuesday, July 28—Community Days: American Music – 250 Years. To mark the USA’s semi quincentennial, musician Rob Lutes will perform iconic American songs from across the 250 years of the country.
Support for these programs had been graciously provided by The Albert and Lucille Delighter and Marcella Winston Foundation, a Supporting Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago.
