Thursday begins 5 p.m. July 2 and is geared toward young adult professionals. There’s no cost, though there is a cash bar and a $5 fee for admission into current exhibits and programs.</p> <p>Sponsors of Oy Vey! Thursday include Moishe House, the Israel Center’s Tzavta Community (supported by the Helen Diller Family Foundation of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund) and He’Brew Beer. </p> <p>The event will feature a panel discussion on art and German-Jewish relations in the 21st century with Germany’s Consul General Rolf Schuette, Israel Consul General Akiva Tor and Rabbi Stephen Pearce of Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco.</p> <p>The talk is in conjunction with Susan Hiller: The J. Street Project, a photographic installation featuring images of “Jewish” streets, roads and paths in Germany, on display through Aug. 18.  </p> <p>Visitors can also check out the “Jews on Vinyl” listening lounge, a ‘50s-style suburban living room with a sampling of throwback tunes from Jewish-American history. Or browse the “Chagall and the Artists of The Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949” exhibit.  </p> <p>Outside the CJM, the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival — another Thursday night activity taking place during the summer — will turn Jessie Square into a downtown, open-air dance party with live bands.</p> <p>Oy Vey! Thursdays will be held on the first Thursday of the month throug the summer at the CJM, 736 Mission St., S.F.
