A VOICE THAT DEFINED WESTERN NEW YORK

For generations of Western New Yorkers, Irv Weinstein was more than the man delivering the evening news. He became part of the rhythm of life in Buffalo.

As anchor and news director at WKBW-TV, Irv helped transform Channel 7 into a broadcasting powerhouse. His unmistakable rapid-fire delivery, colorful writing, and commanding presence changed the sound of local television news and made Eyewitness News a Western New York institution.

Irv was also proudly Jewish. He reflected on what it meant for a Jewish broadcaster to be welcomed into homes across the region. His Jewish identity, his connection to community, and his extraordinary career are an important part of Western New York’s Jewish story.

This October, Wolf Blitzer returns home to Buffalo and will reminisce about Irv, sharing memories and experiences of a legendary broadcaster whose voice helped define an era.

Join us at the Jewish Museum of Buffalo for Jews in the News, celebrating the Jewish journalists and broadcasters whose work became part of the story of Western New York.

What does it mean to reclaim what history tried to erase?

In Patrimony, artist Noah Breuer returns to the visual legacy of his family’s textile company, Carl Breuer and Sons, founded in Bohemia in 1897 and seized following the German takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1939.

Decades later, Breuer uncovered an extraordinary archive of the company’s textile designs and records. These materials became the foundation for a remarkable act of artistic reclamation.

The patterns and intricate details of the original textiles remain, but they now carry Breuer’s own visual language—his hands, the hands of his children, Jewish ritual gestures, American Sign Language, and references to the yad, the traditional Torah pointer.

Patrimony is a compelling visual meditation on family, intergenerational inheritance, memory, and the ways Jewish traditions are carried forward and transformed across generations.

PATRIMONY — Noah Breuer
On view through October 25 at the Jewish Museum of Buffalo.
