Five Things You Need to Know: May 19

Music or bread baking, unless you feel like giving some blood.

 
  1. Today marks the 3rd Annual Ben Adler Memorial Blood Drive, which runs most of the day, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Temple Ohabei Shalom. Drop in to donate blood, or make a reservation by calling ahead: 1-800-GIVE-LIFE. 
  2. Teacher at the Brookline Music School Tomoko Iwamoto performs at Brookline Housing Authority today at 1 p.m. She'll be at the Care Connection At Sussman House, in a free and open-to-all event. 
  3. Brookline High School provides a unique look into the Victorian Back Bay through a narrated slideshow. The urban art-scape that is Back Bay–so called because it once really was a bay–is the subject of Boston By Foot's slide show. At 7 p.m., for $6, you will go beneath and behind the scenes to see how Back Bay transformed from a wetland into the urban space it is today.
  4. Young adults interested in challah baking should spend 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. at Chabad Chai Center, where they can learn the twists and turns of challah bread mixing. The class costs $10, and teens will walk away with two loaves of bread–one for yourself, and one for a friend or stranger.
  5. Vernissage Restaurant tonight at 8 p.m., Jazz Musician Natraj will play a set of his unique fusion of classical Indian music with modern elements of Jazz. Cover is $15, or $12 for students, and JazzBoston members get a 10% discount on dinner. Call ahead to make reservations, at 617-566-3340.
