Steve Guttenberg
RABBI TZVI MULLER
The Guttenberg Bible
When Steve Guttenberg was 16, he went
to see an agent about starting his acting career. He
was told, "You are the last guy I would pick to be a
movie star." He decided to become an actor anyway.

Whether it was "Diner," any of the "Police Academy"
films or"Three Men and a Baby," Guttenberg films
are classics. Guttenberg became the star of some of the '80's most
successful blockbusters. Spending his early days sneaking onto the
Paramount lot and "acting" like an actor, Guttenberg has led a life filled
with unexpected friendships and connections to Hollywood's biggest stars.

A Passion for Color
8:15 p.m.
Don't miss this beautiful and inspiring
presentation based on Ruth Adler Schnee's Palazzo
Mocenigo Exhibition. Drawing on inspiration from
artifacts as diverse as stones on a beach or the
threads on her sewing table, this architect and
textile designer unearths the underlying structure of her source and
translates her encounters into cloth. Fabric represents much more than
cloth and decoration; her designs connect us with history.
Matti Friedman
The Aleppo Codex
One afternoon while visiting a museum,
reporter Matti Friedman came across part of the
Aleppo Codex, regarded as the finest and most
accurate copy of the Torah. Written in the 10th
century in the Syrian city of Aleppo, the text always
had the reputation of protecting those who see
to its safety — and cursing those who defile it.
"Color paints a thousand words. We must choose the words carefully."
— Ruth Adler Schnee

And so begins an incredible true story filled with mystery, conspiracy
and history. Open the first page and you're hooked as Friedman takes you
to a colorful world of questionable art dealers, spies, antique aficionados
and politicians — all involved with bringing this sacred text to Israel.

An Interfaith Tasting, with Beyhan Cagri Trock
The Ottoman Turk and the Pretty Jewish Girl
"A superb work of investigative journalism that reads like a detective thriller."
—The Wall Street Journal
Beyhan Cagri Trock
Beti was Jewish and Zeki was Muslim.
That the two even spoke was considered shocking.

Then they married. Finally the couple left Turkey and
came to the United States in the 1950s, and they
brought with them a unique history, a vibrant culture
and delicious recipes.

her empire.
