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. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this event do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council 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:Ritual4Return Men’s Rite of Passage
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to attend and participate in the Men’s Rite of Passage for members of the Ritual4Return 2025 Fall Cohort. \nRitual4Return\, supported by multiple NJCH grants\, is a 14-week course through which returning citizens engage with and explore the many aspects of their own experiences getting into\, through\, and out of prison. \nReading from a wide variety of source materials and then trying to understand them through dialogue\, writing\, movement exercises\, and theatrical devising techniques\, participants explore — individually and collectively — themes like Home\, Sin\, Judgement\, Punishment\, Exile\, Bondage\, Trauma\, Grief\, Freedom\, Repair\, Forgiveness\, Justice\, and Homecoming. \nThe process culminates with a one-time-only public ritual marking and celebrating the end of incarceration and the beginning of an individual’s new identity within the community. This rite of passage is the centerpiece of a one-day gathering that aims to extend the conversation to family members\, loved ones\, and other community stakeholders who care about the impacts of incarceration. \nRitual Schedule \n\n12:30 pm Doors Open\n1:00pm Pre-ritual Audience Workshop\n3:00pm Ritual4Return\n5:00 Community Dinner\n\n\nTicket information will be available soon.  \nRitual4Return was awarded the 2024 Stanley N. Katz Prize for Excellence in Public Humanities. Read more about the program and award at https://njhumanities.org/katz-prize-2024/.
