SUMMARY:AJFF Presents: Live and Become (FREE!)
DESCRIPTION:The anguished saga of an Ethiopian boy airlifted to Israel during the 1980s Operation Moses to escape persecution and famine\, unfolds in this sweeping epic. After his mother sends him to Israel under false pretenses\, Schlomo arrives posing as a Jewish orphan. Taken in by a liberal Jewish family\, he bears the burden of living a lie and struggling with racism\, while navigating love\, family\, and belonging. Three superb actors portray Schlomo at different ages\, with Yaël Abecassis poignantly playing his adoptive mother. Writer-director Radu Mihăileanu’s emotionally charged exploration of immigration\, assimilation\, and self-identity won the French Best Screenplay César\, the Berlinale Audience Award and Ecumenical Jury Prize.\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Celebrating the season of freedom this film is first and foremost a great drama\, but it also explores a number of interesting themes—freedom (especially the escape from famine and poverty)\, identity\, acceptance\, the treatment of migrants\, and so much more that is still very timely. For those celebrating Easter\, there are also interesting ideas of redemption and rebirth. This is just one of the many great films available on ChaiFlicks.

One such impactful initiative is our IAC SHIELD\, an initiative that was established to support Jewish students\, staff\, and faculty who are experiencing antisemitism\, harassment\,  and discrimination across U.S and Canadian campuses. We will hear more about that at our event. Please join us on May 20th for the IAC Austin Evening of Support as we come together to celebrate this important work and honor Carol and Kaylen Silverberg for their outstanding dedication to our community. \nDate: Tuesday\, May 20\n6:30 PM – Donor Club Reception \n7:00 PM – Door opening & Hors d’oeuvres\n7:30 PM – Main Program\n\nHighlights of the evening: \n\nSagit Sade Attia\, IAC’s National Senior Director of Academic Affairs\, will share about IAC SHIELD\, our newest national initiative fighting antisemitism and protecting Jewish students on campuses across the U.S.\nTal Ramon\, musician and son of Rona & Ilan Ramon (z”l)\, Israel’s first astronaut.
