Howard Alden is considered by many to be one of the finest guitarists today. He is inspired by recordings of Armstrong, Basie and Goodman and performed nearly all of the music in Woody Allen's film "Sweet and Lowdown". The critics' only debate is whether or not he is one of the best or simply the best! Hear Howard Alden and a brilliant special guest for a memorable night of breathtaking music.

The Jewish challenge of the early 21st century is how to reimagine and retool an entire ancient tradition for a globalized world in which Jews are completely integrated and enjoy unprecedented power, freedom and affluence. Can Jewish wisdom compete in the global marketplace of ideas? Can Jewish practice speak beyond our “the tribal need” to belong to the Jewish people? Can Jewish wisdom and practice speak to our shared human questions and yearnings? Can it be a global wisdom?
This lecture is part of our Distinguished Speaker Series, and is the Annual Loraine Stern Lecture
