SUMMARY:Israeli Authors Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Alice Shalvi’s spellbinding memoir\, Never a Native\, which won a National Jewish Book Award in 2019\, is both deeply personal and sweepingly political. Born in Germany in 1926\, Shalvi has been a resident of Israel for over seventy years and a pioneer in advancing the status of women in Israel (as co-founder of the Israel Women’s Network) and in girls’ education (as founder of the Pelech School\, a progressive religious high school in Jerusalem). Although she describes herself as “never a native” and always an outsider\, she is a force for good in Israel\, fighting for new and more equitable social realities.  \nRegister Now\nYou can watch BJ’s live interview with Shalvi on JBS’s YouTube page. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Black Flowers and Commandment 613
DESCRIPTION:In the days following Yom Hashoah\, experience this documentary double bill evoking the Holocaust and its legacy\, screened by New Plaza Cinema at SPSA. \nBlack Flowers (50 minutes) follows five Israeli Holocaust survivors who channel their childhood trauma into their art.  Commandment 613 (23 minutes) explores the work of Rabbi Kevin Hale\, a Torah scribe who restores scrolls saved in Czechoslovakia during the Shoah\, now distributed around the world.   \nEach screening will be followed by a Q&A:  \nApril 29: Tammy Federman\, director of Black Flowers.   \nMay 1: Miriam Lewin\, director of Commandment 613; Rabbi Kevin Hale\, Torah scribe; BJ member George Klas\, who will speak about BJ’s own Czech scroll. \nRegister Now\nIn Black Flowers\, British/Israeli director Tammy Federman illuminates the life and work of five Holocaust survivors: the sculptor Saadya Bahat\, who lost his family members in the camps. The multidisciplinary artist Tommy Brayer\, who was born in the ghetto and survived due to his mother’s wit and strength. The painter Ruthi Goren\, who spent her childhood in an orphanage during the war; Jenny Rozenstein\, who reclaims her childhood\, which was brutally taken from her\, through her colorful\, playful paintings; and Esther Goldman\, whose embroidery work enabled her and her mother to survive the war. The film is in Hebrew and English\, with English subtitles. Watch the trailer. \nIn Commandment  613\, American Rabbi Kevin Hale joyfully practices the sacred craft of Torah restoration\, bringing new life to scrolls saved in Czechoslovakia during the Shoah. As his scribal work takes him to communities now entrusted with the scrolls\, he reflects on his own path to faith and practice—and the many ways to fulfill the final commandment in the Torah: to write the scroll itself. Interviewees include Rabbi Hale\, Sofer STaM; Jeffrey Ohrenstein\, Chairman of the Memorial Scrolls Trust in London; concentration camp survivor Frieda Hoffman; and 10-year-old Carolyn E. Learn more about the film on their website.

SUMMARY:Joint Memorial Day Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Yom Hazikaron\, or Israeli Memorial Day\, is sacred in Israel. Yet\, the ceremonies that are held to honor this day most often serve to reinforce cultural narratives of pain\, victimhood\, and hopelessness. The Joint Memorial\, co-hosted by Combatants for Peace and Parents Circle-Families Forum\, transforms this narrative by bringing Palestinians to the Memorial alongside Israelis\, changing despair into self-reflection\, personal responsibility\, and ultimately hope.  \nThe Joint Memorial Ceremony is the largest Israeli-Palestinian peace event in history. Last year 300\,000 people participated in the live broadcast event and over one million people streamed it afterwards. It has become a focal point for the entire peace community. Nearly every peace-building NGO in the region participates in some way\, and we are proud to be sponsors of the Ceremony this year! It has a profound impact on everyone involved in or witnessing the event. \nThe Joint Memorial Day Ceremony sets the foundation for widespread cultural change by shifting public opinion on a mass scale. Joining together to mourn each other’s pain challenges the status quo\, setting the foundation to build a new reality based on mutual respect\, dignity and equality. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Torah Bound: Exploring Pirkei Avot with Rabbi Noa Kushner
DESCRIPTION:How do we understand the meaning of community and our responsibility to show up for one another? Join Rabbi Noa Kushner as we explore this theme from the second chapter of Pirkei Avot. \nRegister Now\nRabbi Noa Kushner founded The Kitchen in 2011 in response to friends who were looking for an informal\, transformative shabbat experience that they couldn’t find. The Kitchen quickly grew from a local shabbat experiment into an active doorway for San Francisco’s gen x and millenials looking for serious Jewish life. Through an emphasis on first-hand experience and “doing Jewish” over pedigree\, The Kitchen has become an international resource\, growing to serve thousands of modern families annually in seven years. After graduating with a degree in Religious Studies at Brown\, Kushner was ordained by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 1998. She then served as a Hillel rabbi for both Sarah Lawrence College and Stanford University. \nThis is the second session of a six session series. Explore the other sessions on our website. \n
