Golda's Balcony Party Dec. 14

Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust Organizes Theater Party of Golda's Balcony December 14

With Israeli history as the unifying theme, theater fans and Museum patrons are invited to a theater party to benefit the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.

The evening will begin at the Museum in Battery Park City with a tour of Kippur: Three Weeks in October, the new acclaimed photographic exhibition that illustrates what it was like to be on the front lines during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Following the tour, the group will take a Campus Coach bus to the Helen Hayes Theater to see Tovah Feldshuh in her Tony-nominated performance of Golda Meir in Golda's Balcony. The one-woman show is a riveting portrait of Israel's fourth prime minister and the challenges she faced during the three-week war. Dinner will be served en route and will be supplied by My Most Favorite Dessert Company. Transportation to the Museum from a mid-town location is provided in the cost of the ticket.

The evening is chaired by Tovah Feldshuh, Patti Kenner, and Doris Schechter.

Tickets to the event range from $125 to $1,000. There is a special Young Friends ticket priced at $65. Reservations can be made by calling 646.437.4321.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, located at 36 Battery Place in Battery Park City, uses a core exhibition of more than 2,000 historic photographs and 800 historical and cultural artifacts, as well as 24 original documentary films, to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the broad tapestry of Jewish life over the past century-before, during, and after the Holocaust. In fall 2003, the Museum dedicated its 82,000-square-foot Robert M. Morgenthau Wing, which contains the state-of-the-art Edmond J. Safra Hall, Andy Goldsworthy's Garden of Stones, catering hall, classrooms, and expanded gallery space for special exhibitions. For more information, visit www.mjhnyc.org.
