FEATURED EVENT
MODERN JEWISH THEOLOGY WITH
RABBI JOSHUA M. DAVIDSON ’90
Monday, May 18
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM
LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $15 FOR GUESTS
HOST: JOSE PINCAY-DELGADO
Jewish understandings of God’s role in the world and in our lives may
begin with the Bible, but they do not end there. In the millennia since
the Bible’s completion, the discussion has continued.
In post Enlightenment and Emancipation Europe, a new conversation
emerged opening the field of Modern Jewish Thought to which the
rationalist Hermann Cohen, and the existentialists Franz Rosenzweig
and Martin Buber made critical and pioneering contributions. With an
exploration of their philosophies, we consider the question of how God
functions in the world today. Is God a transcendent commander, an immanent presence, or both? Each of us
must find his or her own answer, and a study of Cohen, Rosenzweig and Buber offers a helpful place to begin.
Rabbi Joshua M. Davidson ’90 has led Temple Emanu-El since July 2013. Temple Emanu-El of New York was
the first Reform Jewish congregation in New York City and, because of its size and prominence, has served as
a flagship congregation in the Reform branch of Judaism since its founding in 1845. Its congregation currently
comprises approximately 3000 families.
Rabbi Davidson came to Temple Emanu-El from Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester, where he was
senior rabbi. Prior to his arrival at Temple Beth El in 2002, Rabbi Davidson served for five years at Central
Synagogue in New York City, advising that synagogue’s award-winning Social Action Committee.
Rabbi Davidson’s work has included anti-death penalty advocacy, gay/lesbian inclusion and interfaith
dialogue. In November 2009, Rabbi Davidson was honored for his interfaith efforts by the American Jewish
Committee and the Westchester Jewish Council.

THE EVOLUTION OF URBAN LANDSCAPE FROM
THE HIGH LINE TO CENTRAL PARK
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15
LECTURE: 6:30PM
HOST: LUCY ULLMANN
Come join us for a very interesting discussion on the evolution of
urban landscape—the intersection of urban design and landscape
architecture—to show how it both reflects and affects the way we
understand and optimize city land.
Using New York City as his model, Francis Morrone will explain the
five historical phases of urban landscape, from Central Park to the High
Line, in a lavishly illustrated presentation based on his recent book Guide
to New York City Landscapes. An understanding of urban landscape will
forever change the way to see metropolises.
Francis Morrone is an architectural historian and writer, and the author
of eleven books, including architectural guides to Philadelphia, New
York City, and Brooklyn. He also writes in the Wall Street Journal and
New York Times.
IN THE NATION’S SERVICE: HOW JAMES MADISON’S
EDUCATION HELPED HIM CHANGE HISTORY
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1
LECTURE: 6:30PM
HOST: JOSE PINCAY-DELGADO
Michael Signer ’95, is the author of Becoming Madison: The
Extraordinary Origins of the Least Likely Founding Father, is hailed by
Kirkus Reviews as being “a perfect introduction to a deeply private
and immensely important man.” Signer will speak about the profound
impact of James Madison’s Princeton education, with a special focus
on his relationship with John Witherspoon.
Becoming Madison examines Madison’s early years, including the
indefatigable intensity that exhibited itself in his early studies, the
dark moral philosophy he took away from Witherspoon, his founding
membership of the Whig debating society, and his difficult relationship
with his family while in New Jersey.
#56: JOE DIMAGGIO AND THE LAST MAGIC NUMBER
IN SPORTS
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8
LECTURE: 7:00PM
HOST: PATRICIA TOBIN
Nearly 75 baseball seasons ago, on a May afternoon at Yankee
Stadium, Joe DiMaggio lined a hard single to left field. It was the quiet
beginning to the most resonant baseball achievement of all time. After
that day, the vaunted Yankee center fielder kept on hitting—at least
one hit a game for 56 straight games.
Kostya Kennedy of Sports Illustrated returns to the Club to talk about
56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports, his acclaimed
book on the baseball great and America in 1941. In this crisp,
evocative narrative, Joe DiMaggio emerges in a previously unseen
light, a 26-year-old on the cusp of becoming an icon.
Alongside the story of DiMaggio’s dramatic quest, Kennedy examines
the peculiar nature of hitting streaks and with an incisive, modern-day
perspective, gets inside the number itself as its sheer improbability
heightens both the math and the magic of 56 games in a row.
Kostya earned an M.S. from Columbia University’s Graduate School
of Journalism, from which he received a Pulitzer Fellowship. He has
taught in the graduate program at Columbia and is currently a Visiting
Professor at NYU’s Tisch Institute for Sports Management, Media
and Business.

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL
TUESDAY, MAY 5
LECTURE: 6:30PM
As the newest crop of college stars leave their important studies behind
and are apportioned by the National Football League (NFL) draft, how
many Ivy and Little Three graduates are aware of their own college’s
part in the notorious development of big-time football? Dr. Robin Lester
will share the history of various university football programs and their
direct impact on the NFL today.
What role did the New York marketplace play? Where did Princeton get
its first significant athletic director and coach? Lester will answer these
questions as well as discuss the influence of Princeton Coach Bill Roper’s
“Team of Destiny,” and “Father of American Football,” Walter Camp.
Dr. Robin Lester is the former headmaster of Trinity School in
Manhattan. Arthur Schlesinger termed his prize-winning book, STAGG’S
UNIVERSITY: The Rise, Decline, and Fall of Big-Time Football at Chicago,
“splendid,” and “a brilliant commentary on football’s role in the
American university and the national culture.”
THE LAST PIRATE: A FATHER, HIS SON, AND
THE GOLDEN AGE OF MARIJUANA
MONDAY, MAY 11
LECTURE: 6:30PM
To his fellow smugglers, Anthony Edward Dokoupil was the Old Man.
He ran stateside operations for one of the largest marijuana rings of the
twentieth century. In all, they sold hundreds of thousands of pounds of
marijuana, and Big Tony distributed at least fifty tons of it.
To his son he was a rambling man who was also somehow a present
father, a self-destructive addict who ruined everything but affection. Tony
Dokoupil blends superb reportage with searing personal memories,
presenting a probing chronicle of pot-smoking, drug-taking America from
the perspective of the generation that grew up in the aftermath of the
Great Stoned Age.

Exploring Bordeaux (Talk Tasting)
THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 7:00PM
COST: 47++
HOST: ALLAN AMICO
The wines of Bordeaux have captivated the world’s attention for centuries. They
remain some of the most sought-after wines at auction. But the wines have fallen out
of favor with some sommeliers today. In this session, we will explore the geography
and history of the region, learn about the wine making practices at top estates and
taste a selection of red and white wines. In the end, we will be able to evaluate

Can’t Make an Event You
Reserved For?
Here’s How It Works:
Free Events: Our plans change all the
time in this city, but when you reserve for
an event, we hold a seat for you. Please
call, email, or go online to cancel your
reservation by noon on the day of the event
so another member may use your place and
you can avoid a $10 no-show fee and guest
charges.
Paid Events: Occasionally events are final
sale or have a final sale date, so please check
the full event description prior to making
your reservation. Can’t figure it out? Just
give the Program Office a call, and we will
be happy to assist you. If an event has no
final sale date listed, please cancel two
business days prior to the event to avoid
being charged.
To make or cancel reservations:
Call: 212.596.1261 (Program Office)
