DESCRIPTION:Registration is now closed. Please contact Meryl Franzos at mfranzos@jfedpgh.org or 412-992-5204 if you would like to attend.\nStep into the golden age of Hollywood with Patti Kenner\, the Executive Producer of the award-winning documentary Ahead of Time: The Extraordinary Journey of Ruth Gruber. Ruth shattered barriers as a journalist and photographer\, becoming the first reporter to enter the Soviet Arctic and later covering the turbulent Middle East of the 1940s.

Through striking photography\, rare archival footage and Ruth’s own firsthand accounts\, Ahead of Time captures her extraordinary journey. \nCouvert: $65 | Kindly RSVP by May 5\, 2025\nDinner & Cocktails\nDietary Laws Observed | Cocktail Attire | Valet Parking \nLearn More \nEvent Chairs\nSally Goldhaber\nDana Himmel\nStacey Reibach \nHost Committee\nCindy Goodman-Leib\nCheryl Kirshner\nTanya Koul-Strausbaugh\nDory S.
