About this talk
Spanning thirteen states and three hundred years, the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in New Orleans explores the diverse relationships, experiences, and environments encountered by Jewish communities in the American South.
We'll discuss artifacts and stories from early Jewish immigrants as they navigated southern spaces to find and build communities. Learn how southern Jews maintained their identity and became part of the fabric of southern society. Learn more about lesser-known stories of southern Jewish experiences during pivotal aspects of American history.
About Mark
Oklahoma-born, Texas-reared, and now living in New Orleans, multi-instrumentalist Mark Rubin is an unabashed Southern Jew, known equally for his muscular musicianship and larger-than-life persona that has earned him the respect of legends of the industry. Over an accomplished 40+ year career, he has accompanied or produced a virtual who's-who of powerful, authentic American traditional music, while straddling numerous musical genres, including Country, Western Swing, Bluegrass, Cajun, Tex-Mex, Polka, Klezmer, Roma, and more.
Today, he lives and works as a professional musician playing tenor banjo with the Panorama Jazz Band in New Orleans and makes a study of the musical traditions and cultures of South Louisiana. He continues to be a first call tuba and bassist in the Yiddish Klezmer community, performing nationally and internationally. He recently took a position at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, where he jokes he's an exhibit.
