☆ How Jewish People Built the American Theater
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-29 | by ( Jesse Green | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +46 min

Let Us Tell You A Story How Jewish people built the American theater as we know it. The theater, which for many Jews was a major way of becoming American in the first place, seems unable to acknowledge that the danger that American Jews face is not just historical, and not just onstage. (Both of Adler’s parents were Yiddish theater stars — her father, Jacob Adler, was a renowned Shylock in 1903.) Embedding their own observation and experience within Stanislavsky’s, along with the best of Yiddish theater and a generous dollop of Freud, they converted the American theater to Judaism. Sara Krulwich/The New York TimesThe Jewish contribution to the creation of the American theater was built on the acknowledgment of a larger humanity alive within each of us, available to some, with natural empathy and rigorous training.

☆ SVB's failure will have a ripple effect across technology 'for years to come'
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( Arjun Kharpal | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The 40-year old institution had an intimate link to the technology world offering traditional banking services as well as funding companies that were deemed too risky for traditional lenders. SVB also provided other services like credit lines and lines to startups. But over the past year, the U.S. Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates, hurting the once high-flying technology sector. SVB's collapse has come at an already difficult time for startup investors. The SVB collapse will also likely put the focus on startups to pivot to profitability and be more disciplined with their spending.
