SUMMARY:June Zero - Israeli Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Miami Beach JCC’s Israeli Film Series opening night with the screening of the movie – June Zero – on Monday\, November 10 at 7:30 pm. \nShot in lush super 16mm in Israel and Ukraine\, Jake Paltrow’s stunning and thought-provoking historical drama captures a profound event in the history of the young state — a moment that dramatically changed\, both inside and outside of Israel\, the way in which the Holocaust is now understood and remembered. Inspired by true events\, June Zero is set in 1962 Israel\, where\, after an emotional public trial\, Adolf Eichmann — one of the key architects of the Holocaust — has been tried and sentenced to death for crimes against humanity and crimes against the Jewish people. \nThe film explores the experiences of three characters involved in this nation-defining event: David\, a 13-year-old Libyan immigrant\, who works in the factory where Eichmann’s corpse was incinerated; Hayim (Yoav Levi\, Zero Dark Thirty)\, a Moroccan guard assigned to Eichmann’s jail cell to protect him from vigilante justice; and Micha\, a Polish survivor of Auschwitz who became the chief interrogator at the trial. Though seemingly disparate characters\, these three are inexorably connected through the parts they played in this seminal moment of Jewish history. \nThe Israeli Film Series is presented in partnership with The Miami Jewish Film Festival and generously sponsored by South Pointe Tavern. \nGet Tickets

SUMMARY:The American Ashkenazi Experience – Impacts of Yiddish Children’s Literature
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nCome learn how Yiddish children’s literature shapes our modern Jewish world with Miriam Udel! \nModern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children’s Literature \nJoin us on Monday\, Dec 9 at 7:30PM at the Miami Beach JCC for an evening with Miriam Udel\, discussing her latest book on the overlooked world of Yiddish children’s literature and what it reveals about modern Jewish life. Written with warmth and insight\, the book reframes stories of childhood\, migration\, and resilience—offering striking echoes for our own time. \n🎟 Free & open to the public — RSVP recommended. \nABOUT THE BOOK: \nWritten in an accessible and humane way\, the book considers the neglected corpus of literature written for children in Yiddish during the twentieth century as a new archive for reexamining the modern Ashkenazi experience\, especially during the twentieth century. The book grapples with changes in family life and our understanding of childhood\, alongside Jewish experiences of migration and the need to confront antisemitic violence. Because we all walk around now wondering which year of the 1930’s we’re currently living in\, the book offers a lot of contemporary resonance. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \nMIRIAM UDEL is Judith London Evans Director of the Tam Institute of Jewish Studies and associate professor of Yiddish language\, literature\, and culture at Emory University\, where she studies the Jewish encounter with modernity. She holds an AB in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and a PhD in Comparative Literature\, both from Harvard University. Her academic research interests include 20th-century Yiddish literature and culture\, Jewish children’s literature\, American-Jewish literature\, and genre studies. She is also the author of Never Better!: The Modern Jewish Picaresque (University of Michigan Press\, 2016)\, winner of the 2017 National Jewish Book Award in Modern Jewish Thought and Experience\, and Honey on the Page: A Treasury of Yiddish Children’s Literature (NYU Press\, 2021). Udel was ordained in 2019 as part of the first cohort of the Executive Ordination Track at Yeshivat Maharat\, a program designed to bring qualified mid-career women into the Orthodox rabbinate.

SUMMARY:Matchmaking 2 - Israeli Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nOn Monday\, December 15\, 7:30 pm\, step into the world of love\, laughter\, and a touch of mischief with Israel’s biggest box office hit of the year\, Matchmaking 2\, the long-awaited sequel to Erez Tadmor’s beloved 2022 romance that took the world by storm. Full of joy\, warmth\, and the ultimate romantic entanglements\, this refreshing and feel-good romantic drama returns to the charming world of Orthodox Jewish dating\, telling a heartfelt and humorous tale of tradition\, family\, and finding love in the most unexpected places. \nThe spotlight now shines on Baruch (Maor Schwitzer\, from the internationally acclaimed show Shtisel and also at the Festival with Air War)\, an endearing bachelor who’s no longer the fresh-faced groom hopeful\, but still holding out for his perfect match. In the pressure cooker of Haredi matchmaking\, men and women alike are urged to settle down\, and Baruch’s vibrant\, tough-love matchmaker\, Malki (Irit Kaplan from beloved Israeli show The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem and Academy Award entry Foxtrot)\, won’t let him off the hook just yet. \nEndlessly witty\, visually rapturous\, and sweetly romantic\, Matchmaking 2 is a Romeo and Juliet-like saga (sans the tragedy!) of two young\, eligible ultra-Orthodox singles looking for a match. But it isn’t just about finding love\, it’s a tender\, side-splitting celebration of clashing traditions and big-hearted characters\, starring some of Israel’s most dazzling young talents. \nThe Israeli Film Series is presented in partnership with The Miami Jewish Film Festival and generously sponsored by South Pointe Tavern.
