SUMMARY:Special Film Screening: Ask Dr. Ruth
DESCRIPTION:Join us a very special tribute to Dr. Ruth Westheimer (1928-2024)\, with a screening of a fabulous documentary about her – “Ask Dr. Ruth.” \nFollowing the film presentation\, there will be a panel discussion featuring Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff\, Founder and Director of the Holocaust Teacher’s Institute; Dr. Nikki Freeman\, Education Director at the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach; and Danny Reed\, Cultural Arts Program Coordinator at the Miami Beach JCC. \nAsk. Dr. Ruth \nDirected by Ryan White \nUSA | 100 minutes | 2019 \nAlmost everyone knew America’s most famous sex therapist\, Dr. Ruth Westheimer. With her diminutive frame\, thick German accent\, and uninhibited approach to sex education\, Dr. Ruth revolutionized both public and private conversations around sexuality. But fewer people were aware of her early years as a Holocaust survivor and then a machine gunner in the Israeli army\, fighting during the Independence War. This delightful documentary is an affectionate tribute to a woman whose extraordinary impact on society is matched only by her remarkable life. For the first time\, her story is told with the poignancy and detail it deserves. \nThank you to the Miami Jewish Film Festival and the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach for co-sponsoring this program.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Event: Normon H. Finklestein
DESCRIPTION:The first in a series of author events in conjunction with South Florida JCC’s. \nSay­ing No to Hate traces the his­to­ry of Amer­i­can anti­semitism and the Jew­ish community’s response. It offers us a deep­er under­stand­ing of how events in America’s past have informed the mete­oric rise in hatred and vio­lence we see today. \nFinkelstein’s book is not just a nar­ra­tive of oppres­sion. It also shares how the Amer­i­can Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty\, through insti­tu­tions such as the Amer­i­can Jew­ish Com­mit­tee\, the ADL\, and Hil­lel\, have respond­ed to Jew­ish hatred. Say No to Hate offers read­ers an acces­si­ble intro­duc­tion to anti­semitism in Amer­i­ca. This is par­tic­u­lar­ly impor­tant for a gen­er­a­tion of Jews who\, until recent­ly\, were shield­ed from the overt anti­semitism that plagued Jew­ish Amer­i­cans of years past. \nNor­man H. (1941 – 2024) taught Jew­ish his­to­ry at Hebrew Col­lege for more than thir­ty-five years and is the author of twen­ty-one non­fic­tion his­to­ries and biogra­phies. Two of his books\, Heed­ing the Call and Forged in Free­dom\, won Nation­al Jew­ish Book Awards.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition Opening - Hashivenu
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Monday\, October 14\, at 7:30 p.m. for the opening reception of “Hashivenu\,” a very special art exhibition at Miami Beach commemorating October 7 and dedicated to the resilience of Israel and the Jewish people. We will be honoring IDF veterans as well as the Loving Moms organization\, which does so much in the community to fight antisemitism and support the Hostages and Israel. \n“Hashivenu” means “return us.” The “us” is the Jewish people. It is a cry to be renewed while cultivating resilience. It is how the Jewish People have survived for thousands of years and how we will continue to do so. October 7th is firmly embedded in Jewish history as a day of unmitigated tragedy; what has resulted is an expression of “Hashivenu.”  This exhibition honors everyone – those who were murdered\, those who were kidnapped\, those who defend\, and those who renew. \nThis exhibition is made possible with the generous assistance of the Jewish Federations of North America. \nIlan Block is a New Jersey-born artist who creates meaningful and unique digital portraits and art that represent the entire range of the Jewish experience. \nLoving Moms is a Florida-based group of passionate women dedicated to promoting community engagement\, combating antisemitism\, raising awareness about the hostages\, and fostering a supportive environment for those affected.

SUMMARY:10/7: The Human Story with Lee Yaron
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special evening\, Tuesday\, October 29\, at 7:30 pm for a very special evening in conversation with Israeli Journalist Lee Yaron regarding her book\, 10/7: The Human Story. The defin­i­tive account of the 10/7 mas­sacre through the sto­ries of its vic­tims and the com­mu­ni­ties they called home. \nA mas­ter­ful work of inves­tiga­tive jour­nal­ism by acclaimed Haaretz reporter Lee Yaron\, 10/7 chron­i­cles the mas­sacre that ignit­ed a war through the sto­ries of more than 100 civil­ians. These sto­ries are the prod­ucts of exten­sive inter­views with sur­vivors\, the bereaved\, and first respon­ders in Israel and beyond. The vic­tims run the gamut from left-wing kib­butzniks and Burn­ing Man-esque partiers to rad­i­cal right-wingers\, from Bedouins and Israeli Arabs to Thai and Nepalese guest work­ers\, peace activists\, elder­ly Holo­caust sur­vivors\, refugees from Ukraine and Rus­sia\, preg­nant women\, and babies. \nLee Yaron has been a jour­nal­ist with Haaretz\, Israel’s old­est and most award-win­ning news­pa­per\, for near­ly a decade. Her inves­tiga­tive report­ing has result­ed in the found­ing of state-lev­el com­mis­sions and the chang­ing of sub­stan­tial bod­ies of Israeli pol­i­cy and law. She is an elect­ed mem­ber-rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Exec­u­tive Com­mit­tee of the Union of Israeli Jour­nal­ists. She has also writ­ten and direct­ed acclaimed the­ater pro­duc­tions notable for their use of found mate­ri­als\, includ­ing offi­cial gov­ern­men­tal texts\, to bring atten­tion to mar­gin­al­ized com­mu­ni­ties both in Israel and through­out the Mid­dle East. Born in Tel Aviv\, Yaron splits her time between her native city and New York.
