AND D e# ROSE GUTTMAN Former Owner of Irving's Delicatessen ' HANGING AROUND Modern Jewish sights in Vienna — a rabbi meeting with a cardinal, the kosher butcher on Singerstrasse and the lighting of Sabbath candles — make up the current exhibit at the Spertus Museum in Chicago. The traveling display, "Vienna Today," showcases 60 photographs taken in 1994 by Harry Weber, a Al Vienna native. The works, originally shown at the Jewish Museum, Vienna, were featured at the Cannon Rotunda on Capitol Hill before stopping in Chicago. "Reflecting and trying to under- stand why people do what they do or finding out why they do not do a cer- tain thing" is the way Weber describes his work, according to the catalogue that accompanies the exhibit. In approaching the complexities of Vienna, he has placed his trust in peo- ple as they see themselves as Jews in very personal ways. Looking for those images, Weber spent 12 months in his home city. The exhibition does not attempt to offer a complete and objective impres- • sion of modern Jewish lifestyles. The • pictures form a portrait of an often repressed, but nonetheless vital, urban reality.

His work has been published and shown internationally, and he is a recipient of the Dr. Karl Renner Award for Journalism. • Pickled Trout •Matzah Ball Soup • Mushroom Barley Soup •Vegetarian Chopped Liver •Raisin Kugel •Stuffed Cabbage •Apple Strudel •Potato Knishes •Dill Dressing •Garlic Dressing •Turkey Knishes •Spinach Knishes cud 66 ack iota!
