SUMMARY:L'dor V'dor Ladies: Sadness
DESCRIPTION:As women we know that we are gifted with a high emotional intelligence. We feel things deeply and bring “heart” to all that we do. Judaism is a religion filled with emotion that can be found in Torah\, Jewish ritual\, liturgy and of course life cycle events. Our feelings attach personal meaning and elevate our experiences. \nJoin us as a community of Jewish women as we “feel all the feels”. Come to one or all the sessions as we study the Jewish texts\, insights and practice behind the emotions of fear\, regret\, sadness and love. No prior Jewish knowledge required. All you need is a willingness to meet other Jewish women and to share your thoughts\, questions and life lessons. \nMarch 4: Sadness\nWhen in Judaism are we supposed to feel sadness? What are communal obligations for comforting others? Which texts and prayers help inform our sadness?

SUMMARY:AJFF Presents: "A Photographic Memory"
DESCRIPTION:Sheila Turner Seed was an award-winning New York City-based\, journalist in the 1970s who interviewed such photography luminaries as Henri Cartier-Bresson\, Gordon Parks\, Cecil Beaton\, and Lisette Model. When she passed away suddenly and tragically\, she left behind an infant daughter\, Rachel. More than 30 years later\, Rachel has herself become a filmmaker\, photographer\, and writer. A Photographic Memory marks a moving attempt to navigate grief and nostalgia as Rachel deep-dives into Shelia’s archives\, much of which had been forgotten.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Brought to our attention by Phil Spertus\, who knew Sheila Turner Seed\, this film is a beautifully made and touching story of her daughter\, Rachel trying to understand and connect with the mother she never got to know. Rachel is expected to travel to Austin for a post screening Q&A.
