OUR NEW JEWISH-THEMED FILM SERIES!
We are pleased to announce three free screenings in our new series, to take place at The 519, a community centre on Church Street (Room 301), on the following Sunday afternoons, from 1:30-4:30 p.m.:
April 30th, May 28th and June 18th.
The first screening on April 30th will be the German-Jewish comedy, Go for Zucker (Alles Auf Zucker), a hilarious, award-winning film, which has had screenings at the TJFF. This G
erman comedy film, released internationally in 2004, is one of the very few movies about German Judaism that does not have the Shoah at its core, but instead is a comedy about the crazy twists and turns of fate that befall a family, which finds itself again.
(English subtitles)
If you wish, please bring your own snack and beverage.

Our Condolences
With sadness, we convey our condolences to Marc Green, Arlene Hazzan Green and Doran Hazzan Green, upon the death of Joseph (Joe) Green, beloved father, father-in-law and grandfather. Mr. Green died on Feb. 3, 2017, in Toronto. He lived a remarkable life, as a scholar, film and tv producer and social activist. "Of all his many achievements, he was able to leave one last impression on us with a very generous, open, and honest exploration of facing death via an interview with the CBC," says Marc, who was involved in this project with his father. The links to that documentary are listed below, after his obituary.
May the memory of Joseph (Joe) Green be a blessing.
