A rich and riveting debut spanning four generations of Eastern European Jewish women bound by blood, half-hidden secrets, and the fantastical visitation of a shapeshifting stranger over the course of 100 years.

An ambitious, delirious novel that tangles with queerness, spirituality, and generational silence, City of Laughter announces Temim Fruchter as a fresh and assured new literary voice. The tale of a young queer woman stuck in a thicket of generational secrets, the novel follows her back to her family’s origins, where ancestral clues begin to reveal a lineage both haunted and shaped by desire.

Ropshitz, Poland, was once known as the City of Laughter. As this story opens, an 18th century badchan, a holy jester whose job is to make wedding guests laugh, receives a visitation from a mysterious stranger—bringing the laughter the people of Ropshitz desperately need, and triggering a sequence of events that will reverberate across the coming century. In the present day, Shiva Margolin, recovering from the heartbreak of her first big queer love and grieving the death of her beloved father, struggles to connect with her guarded mother, who spends most of her time at the local funeral home. A student of Jewish folklore, Shiva seizes an opportunity to visit Poland, hoping her family’s mysteries will make more sense if she walks in the footsteps of her great-grandmother Mira, about whom no one speaks. What she finds will make her question not only her past and her future, but also her present.

Electric and sharply intimate, City of Laughter zigzags between our universe and a tapestry of real and invented Jewish folklore, asking how far we can travel from the stories that have raised us without leaving them behind.

Temim Fruchter is a queer nonbinary writer who was raised in a Modern Orthodox Jewish household. She holds an MFA in fiction from the University of Maryland, and has received first prize in short fiction from both American Literary Review and New South; she is a 2020 Rona Jaffe Foundation Writer’s Award winner. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

About the Lecture

In the 64th Annual Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture, historian Atina Grossmann (Cooper Union) will examine the ambivalent, paradoxical, and diverse experiences, emotions, and memories of Jews who found refuge from National Socialism and the Holocaust in India and Iran after 1933. Always shadowed by the emerging European catastrophe, uprooted Jews were also precariously privileged as white Europeans in non-western, colonial or semi-colonial societies. An extensive collection of family correspondence and memorabilia extending from wartime Nazi Berlin throughout the global diaspora of German Jewry as well as archival, literary, visual, and oral history sources illuminates refugees’ everyday lives in the changing context of interwar fascination and contact with the “Orient,” global war against fascism, anti-colonial independence movements, and gradual revelations about the destruction of the European world they had escaped.

Endowed by Marianne C. Dreyfus and Family, the descendants of Rabbi Leo Baeck

Please note that by registering for this event, you are opting into communications from the Leo Baeck Institute.

Join us for a special screening of the documentaries Dust to Light and Pure Land followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. Curated as part of our Ode to Common Things programming, these films reflect on quiet moments in life.

Popcorn and tea provided.

Schedule
5:30-5:45pm Dust to Light

5:45-7:30pm Pure Land

7:30-8:30pm Discussion Q&A with tea/snacks

Film Synopses
DUST TO LIGHT is an award winning short documentary about what is really going on under the surface when we are cleaning. The film listens as four Zen & Tea practitioners reflect on the transformative process of cleaning when it is approached as a meditation rather than burdensome chore. TRAILER

PURE LAND is a moving and thought-provoking portrait of two Japanese immigrant Buddhists in New York. The film centers around Miki, a 55-year-old ex-banker Buddhist missionary, and Toni, a 91-year-old wife of a Jewish atheist. In search of her final path to salvation, Toni invited Miki to move into her and her husband’s home four years ago. Since then, Toni has been single-heartedly seeking one thing above all else—a peaceful mind. Through the deeply personal stories of the two Buddhists, PURE LAND explores the universal theme of finding inner peace amidst the challenges of life, and the power of human connection in overcoming adversity.

Filmmakers
Erika Houle is a cinematographer, director, and documentary filmmaker based in New York. She has worked around the world on feature films, documentaries, commercials, and episodic television shows, most notably NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Her early work as a documentary cinematographer took her across the country and internationally to India and Haiti. She shot for Equal Means Equal, the feature documentary film cornerstone of the movement to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. She also does experimental work, most recently directing a music video for Joan Baez’s 2019 Grammy nominated album Whistle Down the Wind. Her latest film Dust to Light (2023) premiered at AmDocs and DOC NYC. The film received the Best Documentary Short award at the Downtown LA Film Festival.

Nori Mizukami is a Japanese filmmaker, known for his award-winning short films 18 Seconds (2014) and What’s Invisible (2017). 18 Seconds was the recipient of the Best Short award at the prestigious Harlem International Film Festival, and was also selected for screening at the San Francisco International Short Film Festival, People’s Film Festival, and Mount Vernon Film Festival. What’s Invisible won the New Perspective Award at the Kodama International Film Festival, as well as Best Documentary at the Asian Cinematography Awards. With Pure Land, Nori has expanded his repertoire, embarking on his first feature-length documentary project. His unique approach to storytelling blends introspection with an eye for visual detail, showcasing the power of film to explore the human mind.

About Taste: My Life Through Food: Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and the perfect Negroni, he grew up in an Italian-American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.

Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, New York, preparing for and filming foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.

Potluck encouraged this month! Feel free to bring something from the book! The event location is a private residence and will be sent out to attendees on the day of. If you have questions, feel free to email us at uvanyc@uvanyc.org.
