May 11, 2024(1 event) 6:00 pm: JxJ Festival Film Screening: Nathan-ism – Film screening at Edlavitch DCJCC at 1529 16th Street NW, Washington, DC Nathan Hilu, the son of Syrian Jewish immigrants to New York, received a life-changing assignment from the U.S. Army: to guard the top Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials. Filmmaker Elan Golod proposes a documentary portrait of the aging artist but what begins as a peek at a unique witness to history grows into an absorbing study of the function of art as archive and invention. Daring to question an artist’s stories, Nathan-ism is a fascinating look at one man’s need to share truths with a world that doesn’t always want to listen. This must-see documentary for all fine arts lovers made the International Documentary Association Shortlist for Best Documentaries in 2023. |

July 11, 2024(1 event) 7:00 pm: Virtual Film Screening - A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting – Film screening followed by discussion with Audrey Glickman, a survivor of the shooting. On Saturday, October 27th, 2018, a white supremacist, further radicalized by the political climate at the time, walked into the Tree of Life Synagogue with four semi-automatic assault weapons, shouting “all Jews must die.” He murdered eleven congregants, ranging in age from 54 to 97, as they prayed. A TREE OF LIFE: THE PITTSBURGH SYNAGOGUE SHOOTING creates a deeply personal, trauma-informed portrait of the survivors, victims, and victims' family members of the Pittsburgh Synagogue attack, and brings into sharp focus the hate-based crisis that threatens our collective safety and the very social fabric of our society. As the first film to document the survivor’s stories and the only documentary with this level of personal access to the survivors and families of the victims, viewers will experience first-hand how the lives of those directly affected have profoundly changed and how the Pittsburgh community and the congregations set out on a path towards healing. |

July 18, 2024(1 event) 3:00 pm: Webinar: I Will Tell No War Stories with Howard Mansfield – Howard Mansfield discusses the new book I Will Tell No War Stories: What Our Fathers Left Unsaid About World War II in conversation with Scott Mansfield. When Howard Mansfield grew up, World War II was omnipresent and hidden. This was also true of his father, Pincus Mansfield’s time as a tail gunner on B-24 bombers. Like most of his generation, it was a rule not to talk about what he’d experienced in war. “You’re not getting any war stories from me,” he’d say. Cleaning up the old family house the year before his father's death, Mansfield was surprised to find a short diary of the bombing missions he had flown. Some of the missions were harrowing. Mansfield began to fill in the details, and to be surprised again, this time by a history he thought he knew. I Will Tell No War Stories is about undoing the forgetting in a family and in a society that has hidden the horrors and cataclysm of a world at war. Some part of that forgetting was necessary for the veterans, otherwise how could they come home, how could they find peace? |
