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.

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.

SUMMARY:Pirkei Avot Study (Congregation Shalom Rav)
DESCRIPTION:Pirkei Avot is a tractate in the Mishnah. From at least the time of Saadia Gaon (10th century)\, it has been customary to study one chapter a week between Passover and Shavuot; we will follow that tradition from 20 April – 1 June\, 2025. Weekly\, Sundays 9:30 – 10:30 am. Led by Ya’akov Love. Via Zoom.\nPirkei Avot (“Ethics of Our Fathers”) contains almost no laws\, consisting instead of short statements of advice\, ethics\, and wisdom. The first chapter outlines the stages of the transmission of the Oral Torah\, beginning with Moses at Mount Sinai and continuing through the prophets and sages. The next four chapters contain statements of rabbinic sages\, largely in chronological order. The last chapter focuses on the merits of Torah study.  We will use Sefaria as our primary source text\, supplemented by traditional and modern commentaries – including excerpts from The Baal Shem Tov on Pirkey Avoth.  An Introduction doc and Brief Biographies of the Sages with chronological timeline is provided for reference.

SUMMARY:The Heroes of a Hidden Child: One Survivor’s Story of Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day)\, Lucy Taus Katz along with\nCongregation Havurah Shalom of Sun City\, Texas and in partnership with the Georgetown Public Library have created a thought-provoking and inspiring program titled “The Heroes of a Hidden Child: One Survivor’s Story of Gratitude” This program will take place at The Georgetown Public Library’s Hewlett Room\, located at 402 West 8th Street in\nGeorgetown\, Texas on Sunday\, April 27th 2025 from 3-5pm. The event is FREE and all are welcome. \nLucy Taus Katz’s life is a story of survival against impossible odds. Born into a Jewish family in Nazi-occupied Europe\, Lucy was just an infant when her family faced the horrors of the Holocaust. While much of her large extended family perished\, Lucy’s life was spared through the extraordinary acts of kindness and bravery of strangers. These individuals\nrisked their own lives—and those of their families—to protect a child they had never met\, embodying humanity at its most courageous. \nPresented by Lucy Taus Katz herself\, this program promises a unique insight into the extraordinary acts of courage\, resilience\, and humanity that persisted amidst one of history’s darkest periods. Through her words\, Lucy emphasizes the power of kindness\, forgiveness\, and resilience to heal and transform individuals and communities. She reminds us that we all have the ability to make a difference\, one person at a time\, in repairing the world.
