In a Syrian border village in the early 80’s, little Sero attends school for the first time. A new teacher has arrived with the goal of making strapping Panarabic comrades out of the Kurdish children. To enable paradise to come to earth, he uses the rod to forbid the Kurdish language, orders the veneration of Assad and preaches hate of the Zionist enemy- the Jews. With a fine sense of humor and satire, the film depicts a childhood which manages to find light moments between dictatorship and dark drama. WINNER!

Ari's Spoon with author Douglas P. Zipes, MD
Wednesday, May 18
1:00 pm, ET on Zoom
Should a Catholic become a Jew? Or a Jew become a Catholic? If so, when, and why? Decisions made under extreme pressure define a person’s character and set in motion consequences that create the heroes and heroines in Ari’s Spoon, a novel based on real people and events that took place during the World War II Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and its aftermath.
Everyone is invited to attend the discussion of Ari’s Spoon.

Is Superman Circumcised? with author Roy Schwartz
Monday, June 13
1:00 pm, ET on Zoom
Superman is the most famous character in the world. He’s the first superhero. An American icon. And he’s Jewish!
Introduced in June 1938, the Man of Steel was created by two Jewish teens, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the sons of emigrants from Eastern Europe. They based their hero’s origin story on Moses, his strength on Samson, his mission on the golem and his nebbish secret identity on themselves. They made him a refugee fleeing catastrophe on the eve of World War II and sent him to tear Nazi tanks apart nearly two years before the US joined the war.
Everyone is invited to attend.

Remix Judaism with author Roberta Rosenthal Kwall
Wednesday, June 22
12:00 pm, ET on Zoom
Many American non-Orthodox Jews are not interested in Jewish practice and ritual. And many younger Jews have even less interest even in moderate observance than their parents. Left unchecked, this reality will sink the future of American Judaism.
Absent a sustained, deep connection to various elements of Jewish tradition, there will be increasingly fewer Jews to support synagogues and other important philanthropic initiatives of the American Jewish community. We can turn this around with more focus on helping non-Orthodox Jews deepen their connection to Judaism by finding personal meaning in selected practices. Religiously liberal Jews do not necessarily respond to the idea of Divine command but they will observe rituals they find personally meaningful. I call this “remixed” Judaism and it is of vital importance if Judaism is to remain more than just a matter of ancestry for the majority of American Jews.
Everyone is invited to attend.
