Launch of Dr. Esther Grushkin Center for Arts + Culture

much of her career helping to bring adult Jewish learning and culture to the
Jewish community of Staten Island and beyond. With a passion and depth of
knowledge only matched by her ability to engage her students through Dr. Esther Grushkin virtual programming, which includes performances, lectures, tours, a book club,
