Podcast appearances and mentions of Laurie M Tisch

If you're listening to this in the fall of 2021, and you're not aware, the JCC's Chief Executive Officer, Rabbi Joy Levitt, is retiring at the end of the year. This podcast is for you. If it's sometime past the fall, maybe the spring of 2022, or the winter of 2026, this podcast is for you, too. There's something about stories, and this particular storyteller, that's crucial to understanding what makes—and made—the country's premier JCC tick. What allowed it to go as fast as it did, to build success upon success upon success. Rabbi Joy Levitt isn't—wasn't—just a boss to some of us. She is, was, a spiritual adviser. A relentless “idea person.” A source of endless motivation. And whether you're listening to this before she leaves, or after, there are lessons you can take from it. You can listen to her voice and know there was a strong hand steering the ship at the JCC. There was joy, in Joy. Welcome to season 5 of 76West, recorded, appropriately, in an office at the corner of West 76th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. In past years you've heard conversations with some of the great thinkers of our time. This season you're going to hear the voice of one: Rabbi Joy Levitt. Sometimes she'll be by herself, sometimes accompanied by the amazing people who helped make the programs she shepherded a reality. That's by design. Joy works—worked— best in collaboration with others, people who pushed her, prodded, who inspired her as much as she inspired them. That's going to be—is—her legacy to the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan: a spirit of positivity, of moving onward and upward. Taking a simple idea, a Jewish Community Center, and elevating it beyond what anyone would use as their definition. In this episode, Rabbi Joy Levitt discusses an eye-opening moment in the JCC's Laurie M. Tisch Gallery, in which an exhibit of the work of photographer Caryl Englander brings about an epiphany for one young family and for Joy.

In this last portion of the James Beard Foundation Food Summit, facilitator Mitch Baranowski chats with Olivier DeSchutter (International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems), Phil Jones (City Food), Pamela Koch (Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food, Education & Policy), Peggy Neu (The Monday Campaigns), and Hari Pulapaka (Stetson University) in this panel titled Cultivating Consumers into Citizens: Perspectives. This incredible panel of speakers not only discuss their most recent endeavors in food policy and advocacy, but also further delve into the role the consumer has to play within the avenues of sustainability, education, environmentalism, and even race relations when it comes to the food we buy, eat, and share. In the closing discussions of the James Beard Foundation Food Summit, author and chef Tunde Wey talks about the realization that inspired him to start his thought-provoking Blackness in America and 1882 dinners. Wey spoke of his Nigerian heritage and how realizing the difference between this and being black and growing up in America helped him understand just how race is politicized. “In order to create change,” Wey says, “we need to understand that we are the problem. In order to move away from despair, to move away from pessimism, we have to think away from consumption, and [instead think] to contribution.” Jon Alexander of The New Citizenship Project then follows Wey’s speech and closes the summit with a talk of his own about the meaning of being a “citizen.” Alexander discusses that as a society of consumers we are only looking out for our own best interests, so we must begin to think of ourselves as citizens and not only choose the options but help shape them. Alexander cites studies that demonstrate the fact that human behavior is not only motivated by competition and status, but also by empathy and collaboration, and this is an idea we must help foster by getting involved.

On this episode of Eating Matters, host Jenna Liut and associate producer Taylor Lanzet explore the intersection of nutrition education and food waste.

It takes a village to raise a child, especially one that is healthy and well-fed. New York City has stepped up to this challenge and through a local initiative, known as Food Works has shaped policy for community, schools and childhood nutrition that makes-- programs and organizations, such as Green Carts, City Harvest and NYC Food and Fitness Partnership that build a health-conscious community. How can we share this model for adoption among other communities to share the health? A panel moderated by Pam Koch '98, Kristen Mancinelli '08, TC Trustee Laurie M. Tisch and Sharon Wong, Community Development Manager at NYC Food and Fitness Partnership.

It’s accepted economic wisdom that the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. But as Dr. Robert Sigler, Teresa Heinz Professor of Cognitive Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, pointed out at TC’s 2010 Tisch Lecture, that statement applies to the accumulation of mathematical understanding as well. That is: students who enter a classroom with greater proficiency in math can grow their knowledge base at faster rates than those with lesser proficiency. (The Tisch Lecturer began with an endowment by Trustee Laurie M. Tisch to support a lecture and visiting professorship that continues for one academic year.)
