In the big inning...
The Chicago Cubs’ minor league affiliate in South Bend, Indiana converted a historic synagogue into the franchise’s new souvenir store. While baseball and Judaism have a storied history, is turning a piece of Jewish history into a store taking it too far?
Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Camp
(via BYT Interviews: Natasha Lyonne (2015) - BrightestYoungThings - DC)
“With an acting career that spans just about thirty years, Natasha Lyonne has been in some of my (and your, I’m sure) favorite projects from cinema and TV OF ALL TIME. 2015 has been a particularly busy year for Lyonne, though; apart from a new season of Orange Is the New Black (which premieres 6/12), she’s worked on a variety of films (like Hello, My Name Is Doris, for one) and shows (Inside Amy Schumer, anyone?) that stand to further prove what we already know: she is PRETTY MUCH THE GREATEST.I was able to speak to Lyonne over the phone last week in advance of an upcoming appearance at DC’s Sixth & I for The TEN (5/20); during the course of our conversation we covered dream topics including (but not limited to) the next-level improv acting on Portlandia, what would happen if Megan from But I’m A Cheerleader and Nicky from Orange Is the New Black were featured on Trading Spouses, what it was like to work with Her Majesty Sally Field and MORE, so I do hope you will internet-eavesdrop on all of that below. (I also hope that if you are in the DC area next week you will grab tickets to Natasha’s talk at Sixth & I, because if you don’t, you will risk living in a state of eternal regret FOREVER.)”
On Wednesday, May 20 at 7:00 pm, Natasha Lyonne talks with Rabbi Scott Perlo about storytelling from an artistic and human perspective; Jewish culture and identity; and the intersection between culture/spirituality and the creative life. Grab your tickets here.

Acclaimed Jazz pianist Vijay Iyer stopped by the NPR offices after his concert at Sixth & I on Sunday, April 19. Slightly smaller audience, still larger-than-life performance.
“It is 2015 and Maria Bello, actress and writer, has Whatever … Love is Love (Questioning the Labels We Give Ourselves), a book inspired by her 2013 Modern Love column and entitled after her son’s reaction to her admitting to him that she is in romantic love with her female best friend, hitting the shelves and kindles near you today. And, of course, there is a book tour, moderated by Modern Love’s editor Daniel Jones underway (she is in NY @ 86th and Lexington’s Barnes & Noble this evening, and in DC on May 4th at Sixth and I).”

flavorwire‘s list of the “30 Best Pop Culture Spinsters” is excellent for two reasons: 1. It references Sabrina the Teenage Witch; and 2. It has us very excited for tonight’s event with Spinster author Kate Bolick.

“First Ladies: Private Lives, Public Image” Thursday, April 23, at 7 p.m. William G. McGowan Theater YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ4YnIXsiP4
Susan Swain, president and co-chief operating officer of C-SPAN, leads a discussion on all forty-five First Ladies—their lives, their ambitions, and their unique partnerships with their Presidential spouses.
From Martha Washington to Michelle Obama, the women in this role have sought to balance their families’ private lives with the public expectations of the First Family. Along the way, they have had to adapt to changing social expectations, media scrutiny, and public fascination.
Carl Sferrazza Anthony, author and historian of the National First Ladies Library; Edna Greene Medford, chair of the history department at Howard University; Krissah Thompson, journalist; and author and journalist Carl Cannon will join Swain.
A book signing will follow the program.

(via Candice Bergen holds nothing back in memoir that discusses weight, beauty - The Washington Post)
Candice Bergen gets candid in her new memoir, “A Fine Romance.” See Murphy Brown when she comes to town on Monday, April 13.
From The New York Times:
How do you form your good and bad habits? Are you a people-pleaser, willing to take on a task for others, but less willing to take care of yourself? Or maybe you’re a rebel, and you are less likely than others to do as you are told when it comes to taking medication or adopting a healthful lifestyle.
To learn more about the personality traits that help us form good and bad habits, take this quiz, created by Gretchen Rubin, author of the new book “Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives.”
The author of The Happiness Project returns to Sixth & I on Tuesday, March 31 at 7:00 pm to discuss her new book and answer the critical question, “How can we make good habits and break bad ones?”
It’s T-minus 12 days until Passover. So, while you’re getting your bread-binge on, consider this: There is a charoset-flavored Ben and Jerry’s pint waiting for you on the other side.
For anyone who has ever complained that there weren’t any good kosher for Passover desserts, it’s time to stop wine-ing. Ben & Jerry’s introduced a Charoset-flavored ice cream in Israel this month. It’s about time the culinary star of the seder plate (sorry, parsley) got its day in the sun.
Not a Charoset devotee? The new line of ice cream also comes in chocolate, chocolate with walnuts, banana with walnuts, vanilla, coffee, and Dulce de Leche flavors.
Whether you can replace four glasses of wine with four pints of wine-infused ice cream is yet to be determined.

You may have read our review of Kazuo Ishiguro’s new novel The Buried Giant. You may also have read our own Mark O’Connell’s review at Slate. For another opinion, you could read James Wood, who writes about Ishiguro’s “prose of provoking equilibrium” in the latest New Yorker.
