· Docs & Dialogue: Family Recipe – Jewish American Style at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 14

Brisket, blintzes, bagels — Jewish cooks have been adding flavor to the American melting pot since their arrival, but Jewish food is far more than delis and diners. Running time: 54 minutes. Rated G. Made possible through Kanopy.

· Docs & Dialogue: The Brooklyn Bridge at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 21

At the time of its completion, the Brooklyn Bridge was the largest bridge ever built — a technical accomplishment of unparalleled scope, marked by enormous construction challenges and equally ingenious solutions. Director Ken Burns captures both the physical majesty of this landmark achievement. Running time: 58 minutes. Rated G. Made possible through Kanopy.
