SUMMARY:Dear Sarah: A Play of Historic Letters
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT!\n[Please email info@brickstoremuseum.org if you are interested in an additional show!] \n“Dear Sarah\,” a play about the true Kennebunk love story of doomed sea captain Charles Barry and his wife Sarah\, will be presented by the Brick Store Museum on Saturday\, February 24 at 3:00pm\, paired with light appetizers by Above & Beyond Catering and tastes of historic wines that the Barrys would have enjoyed in the mid-19th century. \nThe 50-minute show will cover two years of the married couple’s separation due to Captain Barry’s work as a sea captain from Kennebunk in the 1840s. \nThe play was crafted through Barry’s letters to his wife during his travels around the world\, which are now held in the Museum’s Archives. \nCaptain Charles Barry was born in 1811 in Boston. He became a ship captain at an early age\, and married Sarah\, the oldest daughter of Kennebunk shipbuilder William Lord\, in the 1840s. Throughout his years away from Sarah at sea\, Barry continually wrote to her\, describing what he saw\, felt\, and experienced. They couple had two young sons when Captain Barry and his ship\, the William Lord\, went missing after departing from South Carolina in 1850. He was never heard from again. \nTickets: $20 per person\, $15 for Museum Members (reserve yours below!). \nSupported by Marquee Sponsor Kennebunk Savings Bank

SUMMARY:Jewish History in Maine (Virtual Gathering)
DESCRIPTION:Jews have a long history in Maine\, with thriving communities across the state. They came to Maine for the same reasons as so many others: to live well and raise their families within the state’s appealing natural and cultural environment. The experiences of Jewish Mainers\, however\, have also been distinctive on account of their occupational choices and traditions as well as their encounters with antisemitism. How have Jews sought to contribute to Maine’s economic\, cultural\, and social landscape\, and how did they gain widespread acceptance? How have these Mainers sustained their own religion\, culture\, and ethnic ties while embracing the broader communities to which they belong? How did the challenges and opportunities that Jews faced in Maine change over time\, and how do these challenges relate to those faced by Jews in other parts of the country? Join us for an engaging conversation with David Freidenreich to learn more!\n\nAbout the speaker: Rabbi Dr. David M. Freidenreich is the Pulver Family Professor of Jewish Studies at Colby College\, where he serves as chair of the Jewish studies department and associate director of the Center for Small Town Jewish Life. He directs Colby’s Maine Jewish History Project\, whose website (web.colby.edu/jewsinmaine) features dozens of essays on the state’s Jewish history\, including several he wrote. David’s primary research focuses on Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic attitudes toward one another: he is the author of “Foreigners and Their Food: Constructing Otherness in Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic Law” and\, most recently\, “Jewish Muslims: How Christians Imagined Islam as the Enemy.”\n\nDonations made to the Brick Store Museum during the Candlelight Stroll: A Festival of Traditions programming (including this) will support the Brick Store Museum’s educational mission with a portion of proceeds donated to support other cultural organizations in southern Maine (see our full Festival of Traditions page for full details!).\n\nSubmit your name and email address BELOW to register for the Zoom link.
