SUMMARY:The Monthly Slice: A Conversation with Modern Apizza’s Bill Pustari
DESCRIPTION:“Keeping It All in the Family: A Conversation with Modern Apizza’s Bill Pustari\,” will take place on Thursday\, April 2\, 2026\, at 6 pm\, at the New Haven Museum (NHM). The talk is the latest offering in “The Monthly Slice” series of programs at NHM\, presented in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition\, “Pronounced Ah-Beetz.” Free with regular museum admission. Register here. \nModerated by Gorman Bechard\, director of “Pizza A Love Story\,” the discussion offers an opportunity to ask questions of one of the premier pizza makers in the world. Pustari grew up as a pizza man and went to what he likes to call “pizza university.” He bought Modern Apizza in 1988 and turned it into a nationally recognized pizza restaurant. \nModern has consistently been ranked as one of the 10 best pizzerias in the country\, and one of the “Big Three” in New Haven. “Pizza Today” magazine named Modern the 2023 Pizzeria of the Year. Having always kept it a family affair\, Pustari runs Modern with the help of his wife Mary\, and their children\, William and Arianna\, and a dedicated staff\, many of whom have been with Pustari for decades. \nThe “Pronounced Ah-Beetz” exhibition at NHM includes first-hand oral histories and pizza-related artifacts from personal collections\, video footage adapted from the documentary and photographs. The exhibition’s title comes from the way many people mispronounce the word apizza\, which originally grew out of the Italian la pizza. The exhibition will remain on view through October 2027.

SUMMARY:Stone Footprints: The Wandering Plaque of 1911
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Museum for a FREE presentation where Jennifer Klau\, Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford\, will share an exciting new research project that illuminates the experiences of the Jewish immigrants that once made the North End of Hartford their home. Ccome early to visit our new exhibition\, “Drawn Here: Stories from Hartford’s North End.” \nWhat is the Wandering Plaque of 1911? \nAn enormous marble plaque from 1911\, serendipitously rediscovered in the basement of a Hartford school building\, sparked a fascinating research dive into long-demolished buildings\, extinct and extant community institutions\, continuity and change. The story of this slab of marble illustrates the comings and goings of Hartford’s Jewish community from its roots in the North End to its eventual and complete migration to the suburbs. \nThe plaque’s journey from one building to another\, where it was abandoned for about 75 years as the community moved away\, is an example of rich heritage that can easily disappear and a hopeful story about recovering the past. \nA companion program to the Making History\, Making Change Lecture Series organized by Smithsonian Affiliations. \nAbout the Speaker: \nJennifer Klau is the Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford. Before embracing her inner history nerd\, Jennifer worked in the healthcare sciences realm as Director of Research for a healthcare startup\, Adjunct Professor at Central Connecticut State University and as a Master Instructor for the SpinningTM program\, training instructors and creating and presenting continuing education courses. \nKlau has served as the President of Beth David Synagogue in West Hartford\, CT twice\, heads several committees and continues to serve on its board. Jennifer is a competitive rower with Riverfront Recapture in Hartford and spends as much of the winter as she can skiing. She earned her B.S. in Communications from Boston University College of Communication and her M.A. in Education and Ph.D. in Kinesiology at UCONN. Jennifer is married to Superior Court Judge Daniel Klau\, with whom she raised three children.

SUMMARY:A Goodnight Kiss
DESCRIPTION:In 1863\, a time when handwritten letters carried news of hope or despair\, a correspondence began between two young New England residents whose relationship blossomed in the shadow of the Civil War. Missed opportunities\, unreliable mail\, and the ever-present threat of tragedy raised profound obstacles that would make or break their bond. This dramatization of the deeply moving real-life correspondence between two individuals proves the triumph of human connection despite all adversity. \nBased on actual love letters\, this historical drama was produced and directed by veteran TV/film actress Kathy Kelly and written by award-winning\, internationally acclaimed playwright Cinzi Lavin. \nRSVP to reserve your free ticket! \nLWVCT is proud to be a CT affiliate organization for America 250. This event is a part of the year-long celebration.

SUMMARY:A Wonderful Struggle: Local Jewish Women in the Labor Movement
DESCRIPTION:Teachers. Social workers. Secretaries. When we think of women in the labor movement\, these occupations may not come to mind. Yet in New Haven and elsewhere\, women in white-collar and “pink-collar” jobs broke new ground in the 1970s and ’80s by organizing and demanding labor rights. The New Haven Museum (NHM) and Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven (JHSGNH) will present the stories of Jewish women in New Haven who fought for labor rights during the 20th century during the Fourth Annual Judith Ann Schiff Women’s History Program\, “A Wonderful Struggle: Local Jewish Women in the Labor Movement\,” on Sunday\, March 1\, 2026\, at 2 p.m. Also streaming on Facebook Live. In the case of inclement weather\, the event will be recorded for social media. Register here. \nIn the words of Edie Bartman Fishman\, who was active in unions ranging from electrical workers to teachers: “Life is a struggle. But it’s a wonderful struggle when you’re fighting for the right things.” Jewish women fought to improve working conditions and pay in Connecticut for more than a century. Some of the women highlighted in the “A Wonderful Struggle” program won landmark victories in fields traditionally considered women’s work. Their stories still reverberate today\, as the United States commemorates its 250th birthday and the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven its 50th. \nIn “A Wonderful Struggle: Local Jewish Women in the Labor Movement\,” we will hear in person and on video from women who participated in the massive New Haven teachers strike of 1975 and in the historic victories of Yale University clerical and technical workers in 1983-84. They will describe the issues that motivated them to join the “wonderful struggle\,” the difficulties they encountered\, what helped them succeed\, the results that followed the strikes and creation of new unions\, and the ways these activities influenced their future work experiences. \nIn addition\, the Nu Haven Kapelye Allstars—Cynthia Astmann\, Dana Astmann\, and Hedda Rubenstein—will perform traditional workers’ songs in both Yiddish and English. \nA collection of items relating to the women highlighted in the program and their work environments will be featured in the Community Case in the New Haven Museum rotunda during the month of March. \nA companion film series\, the 2026 Judith Ann Schiff Women’s History Film Series\, will take place at various locations in the Elm City. View the full film-series schedule here. \nMichael Dimenstein\, co-president of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven\, notes that many JHSGNH members have been involved in labor issues in their respective careers. “As long-term residents of New Haven\, they are aware of the local labor issues\, strikes\, results\, and work remaining to be done\, and we are happy to share this important discussion with the public.”

SUMMARY:An Unfinished Revolution at 250
DESCRIPTION:Historian and author Michael D. Hattem will present “An Unfinished Revolution at 250” at the New Haven Museum on Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026. Hattem will discuss the unique role that the Revolution has had in American life and the longstanding tradition in American history of remembering the nation’s founding as an “unfinished revolution.” The free NH250 event will be held at 6 p.m. and preceded by a reception at 5:30 p.m. Register here. \nHattem is an American historian with interests in early America\, the American Revolution\, and historical memory. His lecture will be based on his newest book\, “The Memory of ’76: The Revolution in American History”(Yale University Press\, 2024)\, which was a finalist for the 2025 George Washington Prize. \nHattem notes that the principles of the Revolution have been constantly redefined to fit the needs of the times. “Countless social movements —including abolitionists\, suffragists\, and the civil-rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s—have tried to win popular support by depicting their causes as attempts to fulfill the ideals of the American Revolution\,” he says. He explains  that abolitionists were the first Americans to celebrate the Declaration of Independence specifically for its preamble and the statement that “all men are created equal.” \nWhile sharing his hope that visitors gain an understanding that the 250th anniversary offers an opportunity to redefine those principles for our own times\, Hattem adds\,“ As we commemorate the anniversary of American independence\, this long and surprising history serves as a critical reminder of the importance of redefining the Revolution in ways that are meaningful and useful in the present.”
