Documents, photos, cartoons and film on the case with accompanying videos describing the history, legal aspects, media reactions, and the role of Jews and power, as well as a symposium and films. The Dreyfus Affair, as it was known, was a seminal event in French history of the late nineteenth century, which still resonates today. Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jew in the French army, was accused and then convicted of being a traitor. It was later proven that he was innocent. This exhibit is based on Dreyfus – The Fight for Justice, an exhibition of the Musée d’art et d’histoire du Judaïsme, Paris, with original objects from the Lorraine Beitler Collection at the University of Pennsylvania. It explores how the case led to the idea of separation of church and state in France; issues of national security, military vs civilian justice; how it was the first "trial in the press" with Emile Zola's famous editorial "J'accuse"; and how its impact inspired a journalist covering the trial, Theodor Herzl, to initiate plans for the formation of the State of Israel. About Florence and Chafetz Hillel House at Boston University The new Florence and Chafetz Hillel House opened in the spring of 2005. This beautiful facility is a vastly flexible space with many resources, and is open to everyone. The physical space of BU Hillel is more than just beautiful; it reflects an essential philosophy, informed by tradition and open to change. The Jewish community at BU prides itself on being pluralistic and fluid; its different communities and interest groups overlap and enrich each other. Students come from a variety of backgrounds, both ideologically and in their Jewish experience.

"Patience, or Bunthorne's Bride" directed by David Jewett music directed by Yuga Cohler produced by Megan Amram, Samantha Biegler, and Courtney Thompson Reginald Bunthorne has captured the heart of nearly every young lady with his aesthetic lifestyle. But the woman he loves most of all, Patience, confesses that she has never loved anyone. That is, until Bunthorne's rival, poet Archibald Grosvenor, emerges on the scene. Women flock to the poets, prompting even the Heavy Dragoons of the village to imitate the poet's foppery, flouncing, and pretension. Bunthorne, in desperation, chooses to raffle himself off among the ladies. But who will prevail over the heart of Patience? Who (or what) will become of Bunthorne's bride? And just what kind of man desires a "vegetable love" most of all? Topsy-turvydom is sure to reign! http://www.hrgsp.com/ Così fan tutte Time: 2:00pm Location: Boston Conservatory Theater, 8 The Fenway, Boston, MA
