SUMMARY:Unpacking: Holocaust Survivors Making Montreal Home Post World War II
DESCRIPTION:Seventy years ago\, in 1947\, Canada reluctantly opened its doors to displaced persons (DP) living in Europe. Between 1947 and March 1950\, Canada granted admission to over 98\,000 DPs. Only 11\,064\, or 11.3%\, were Jews – Holocaust survivors. Once in Canada\, 55% of survivors went to Montreal\, 35% to Toronto; and 10% to the rest of Canada.\nThe research of Dr. Zelda Abramson\, sociologist at Acadia University\, traced the lived experiences of Holocaust survivors who settled in Montreal\, drawing on more than 70 interviews\, hundreds of social service case files\, and archival documents.\nThe evening will present several dramatic readings that capture the challenges and successes the survivors faced integrating into Montreal and Canadian life. \nThere is no cost for this event. \nContact: zelda.abramson@acadiau.ca  |  902-585-1273

SUMMARY:NaKh and Nosh: Bible Beyond the Torah
DESCRIPTION:Although Jews are the people of the book\, there are many parts of the Jewish bible\, the TaNaKh\, we never read in services. The word TaNaKh is an acronym for the Jewish bible’s 3 categories of books: the Torah (the five books of Moses)\, Nevi’im (the Prophets)\, and Ketuvim (the Scriptures). Over the course of the Jewish year\, we read the full Torah\, but we never read the full books of NaKh (Nevi’im and Ketuvim).\nBut that has changed at Shaar Shalom!\nEach session\, we study one more chapter of NaKh: discovering why these words were so sacred to our ancestors\, and why so few Jews read them (outside of Halifax\, that is). Find Rabbi Rank’s table at kiddush for a little “NaKh and Nosh.”

SUMMARY:Atlantic Jewish Film Festival - Short Program
DESCRIPTION:Bring your lunch to the Short Program! Special guest\, Stephen Cooke\, will be in attendance at the Short Program. \nWOMEN IN SINK \n \nHebrew with English subtitles \nDirector/Producer: Iris Zaki\nDistributor: Go2Films\nCountry: UK\, Israel   Year: 2015  Running Time: 36 minutes\nThe Jewish director of this film installed a camera over the hair washing basin in a small salon owned by a Christian Arab woman in Haifa\, Israel. As she washes their hair\, she talks with the clients\, both Jews and Arabs\, posing questions about life in Israel. What emerges from these conversations is an honest and nuanced portrait of contemporary Israel. \nTHE CHOP \n \nEnglish \nDirector: Lewis Rose\nProducer: Daphne Hocguard\nCAST Amir Boutrous\, Andy Linden\, Daniel Kramer\, Sajid Varda\nDistributor: Salaud Morisset\nCountry: UK    Year: 2015   Running Time: 17 minutes\nYossi\, a charismatic Kosher butcher with lightning quick knife-wielding skills\, angers his boss and loses his job. He does the rounds of other kosher butchers to no avail so decides to disguise himself as Muslim in order to find work at a Halal butcher shop. While this short film is a comedy incorporating “fish out of water” and laugh-out-loud slapstick humour\, it’s also a story that explores the relationship between Jews and Muslims. \nA CANTOR ON TRIAL \n \nYiddish with English Subtitles \nDirector/Producer: Sidney M. Goldin\nCAST: Louis “Leibele” Waldman\nMusic by Sholem Secunda\nDistributor: The National Center for Jewish Film\nCountry: USA   Year: 1931   Running Time: 10 minutes\nIn this hilarious musical comedy gem\, legendary cantor Leibele Waldman plays all three candidates auditioning for a synagogue committee in search of a High Holidays cantor. Displeased\nwith the first two applicants\, a Galitzianer and a Daytsher (German)\, the committee finds its man: a modern chazan with “pep and jazz” who does Kol Nidre with a “two-step.” \nCanada Premiere of New Digital Restoration & new English subtitles by The National Center for Jewish Film \nJOE’S VIOLIN \n \nEnglish \nDirector: Kahane Cooperman\nProducers:  Kahane Cooperman\, Raphaela Neihausen\nCAST: Joe Feingold\, Brianna Perez\nDistributor: Go2Films\nCountry: USA    Year 2016    Running Time: 24 minutes\nIn this award winning documentary short\, a 91 year old Holocaust survivor donates the violin he’s owned for 70 years to a local instrument drive\, changing the life of a 12 year old girl from one of America’s poorest districts and\, unexpectedly\, his own. Joe’s Violin poignantly shows how a small act can have great impact.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Jewish Film Festival Opening Night - "The Women's Balcony" with Special Guest Dr. Sheva Medjuck
DESCRIPTION:Director: Emil Ben-Simon\nProducers: Osnat Handelsman-Keren\, Talia Kleinhendle\nCAST: Orna Banai\, Itzik Cohen\, Einat Sarouf\, Igal Naor\, Evelin Hagoel\, Aviv Alush\, Yafit Asulin\nDistributor: Menemsha Films\nCountry: Israel   Year: 2016   Running Time: 96 minutes\nAn accident during a bar mitzvah celebration leads to a gender rift in a devout Orthodox community in Jerusalem in this rousing\, good-hearted tale about women speaking truth to patriarchal power. When the women’s balcony in an Orthodox synagogue collapses\, leaving the rabbi’s wife in a coma and the rabbi in shock\, the congregation falls into crisis. Charismatic young Rabbi David appears to be a saviour after the accident\, but slowly starts pushing his fundamentalist ways and tries to take control. This tests the women’s friendships and creates a rift between the community’s women and men. \nThis comedy/drama is about community\, old traditions and values\, and the power of women to keep all of these together in the face of modern extremism. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tashlich Service (weather permitting)
DESCRIPTION:Tashlich (תשליך) is a ritual observed by many Jews during Rosh HaShanah. Tashlich means “casting off” in Hebrew and involves symbolically casting off the sins of the previous year by tossing pieces of bread or another food into a body of flowing water. Just as the water carries away the bits of bread\, so too are sins symbolically carried away. Since Rosh HaShanah is the Jewish new year\, in this way the participant hopes to start the new year with a clean slate.
