SUMMARY:Food for Thought: International Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to support Piscataway Public Library’s “Food for Thought\,” a series of events exploring the cultural and historical significance of food in our lives\, through an Action Grant. \n— \nJoin us as Chef Sank of Eat Krave Love demonstrates internationally inspired dishes while bringing cultures together through her cooking. Chef Sank\, a cancer survivor\, will cook two dishes using natural\, healthy ingredients. Samples of fusion dishes will be provided. \nRegistration for this event is required via the library website. \nAbout Chef Sank\nWhen I was young I was told it is a woman’s place to be in the kitchen. Ironically\, at the time\, the majority of the top chefs in the world were all men. Though\, I had always wanted to pursue my passion of cooking\, I was told that was not a real career for a woman\, just a job we did. It took me 16 years in the medical field\, to realize how many lives I could change by cooking. I now make it my mission to help people understand and care about what they put in their bodies\, while bringing cultures and cuisines together in the process. Although women have come a long way in terms of rights\, we have a long way to go. I feel the best way of getting us the equality we deserve in the world and especially the workplace is by lifting each other up and supporting one another to follow our passions. We will make greater strides in making a difference in the world with the love and encouragement from other female entrepreneurs. Bringing inventive fusion cuisine to your special event using the freshest ingredients and taking you on a flavorful and healthy adventure. \nThe Food for Thought project was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities\, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Ukrainians in New Jersey: A Historical Overview
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the rich history of Ukrainians in New Jersey in this online presentation by Michael Andrec and Michael Buryk of the Ukrainian History and Education Center\, a multiple-time NJCH grantee. \nSurprisingly\, there has been a remarkable lack of secondary sources devoted specifically to the history of Ukrainian immigrants in New Jersey. The “Ukrainians in New Jersey” project by the Ukrainian History and Education Center’s archivist Michael Andrec and external researcher and writer Michael Buryk is an ongoing effort to help remedy this. It consists of an online resource that will eventually have a historical overview\, histories of communities and individual Ukrainian New Jerseyans\, and a collection of primary and secondary source materials that can be searched\, or browsed by date or geography. \nThis is free online talk\, but registration is required. \nMichael Buryk is a researcher of Ukrainian history and a well-known figure of Ukrainian descent in the United States. He is a writer\, podcaster and public speaker. He specializes in Ukrainian genealogy\, and produces his own original podcast‎‎ about Ukraine\, which is sponsored by The Ukrainian Weekly newspaper and is available on its web site. He is a resident contributor to Vilni Media\, which provides in Ukrainian and English up-to-date information\, news and analysis for local Ukrainian communities in the United States written by Ukrainian Americans. Mike retired in 2016 from a 40-year career in advertising and publishing. He holds a Master’s Degree (1975) in Russian/Soviet area studies from Hunter College\, the City University of New York. \nMichael Andrec has been the archivist at the Ukrainian History and Education Center since 2010\, where he has been responsible for preserving and making accessible hundreds of collections\, as well as exhibition curation\, digitization of audio and paper-based archives\, outreach\, and reference services. In 2022\, Michael and the UHEC received the Innovative Archives Award from the New Jersey Caucus of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference for his rapid shift from archival duties to education and advocacy after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

SUMMARY:Yogi Berra Museum Presents "Make Me Commissioner": Book Talk & Signing with Author Jane Leavy
DESCRIPTION:The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center\, an NJCH grantee\, will present a book talk and signing with Jane Leavy\, author of the new book MAKE ME COMMISSIONER: I Know What’s Wrong With Baseball and How to Fix It.  \nJane Leavy\, baseball’s preeminent writer\, hardly recognizes the game she loves anymore. Relentless pursuit of competitive edges on and off the field have killed the essential charms of the great game\, chewed up some of its best talent\, and left fans to root for little more than algorithms yielding fractional advantages and analytically dictated efficiencies.  \nNow\, join Leavy on a behind-the-scenes road trip through the far corners of the baseball world as she sets out to uncover how the game broke\, and to find the people and the ideas that just might bring it back in MAKE ME COMMISSIONER: I Know What’s Wrong With Baseball and How to Fix It.  \nSigned Copies of MAKE ME COMMISSIONER: I Know What’s Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It are available for purchase for $40. Admission to the Museum and program are included with the purchase of a signed copy.  \nAbout The Author:\nJane Leavy is the author of New York Times bestsellers The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World He Created\, The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America’s Childhood\, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy\, and the comic novel Squeeze Play\, which Entertainment Weekly called “the best novel ever written about baseball.” She was a staff writer at The Washington Post from 1979 to 1988\, first in the Sports section\, then writing for the Style section. She covered baseball\, tennis\, and the Olympics. She has written for The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, Sports Illustrated\, and is anthologized in The Great American Sports Page: A Century of Classic Columns and Driven to Write.\nSpace is limited\, please RSVP to reserve your spot.
