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: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.
