After visiting Palestine in 1909\, she founded Hadassah\, a Jewish women’s service organization that would create a vital link between American Jewish women and communities in Palestine\, empowering and inspiring hundreds of thousands of Jewish women to invest their energies in a cause that transcended their own personal lives. Through this organization\, she established the region’s modern healthcare system\, built on a mandate to treat Arabs and Jews equally. Later\, she spearheaded Youth Aliyah\, an operation that rescued 11\,000 Jewish children from Nazi Europe in the 1930’s and transported them to safety in Palestine. Combining archival material\, interviews and dramatic re-enactments\, Peabody award-winning director Abby Ginzberg gives long-overdue recognition to Szold’s legacy and brings her inspiring story to life.   \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \n  \n \n  \nProudly co-sponsored by \n  URL:https://bethtzedec.ca/event/labors-of-love-the-life-and-legacy-of-henrietta-szold/ LOCATION:Beth Tzedec CATEGORIES:Film Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bethtzedec.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Labors-of-Love-1-Baby-with-Henrietta_photo-by-Tim-Nahum-Gidal-©-The-Israel-Museum-Jerusalem-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20251102T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20251102T150000 DTSTAMP:20251002T184907Z CREATED:20251002T184811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251002T184907Z UID:10001666-1762088400-1762095600@bethtzedec.ca SUMMARY:Among Neighbors DESCRIPTION:USA/Poland 2025 | Director: Yoav Potash | English & Polish with English subtitles | 100 minutes\n\nDocumentary – USA \nToday\, in an era where difficult truths about the past are being silenced by a right-wing Polish government that seeks to deny any Polish complicity in the Holocaust\, Among Neighbors investigates the story of a small\, rural town where the longstanding peaceful co-existence between Jews and Polish-Catholic neighbours was shattered by World War II. Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage\, the film focuses on the only living Holocaust survivor from the town\, and an aging eyewitness who\, six months after the war had ended\, saw Jews murdered there – not by Nazis\, but by her own Polish neighbours. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash\, this powerful documentary uncovers accounts of love\, betrayal\, and a silenced and disturbing history. \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n  \n \n  URL:https://bethtzedec.ca/event/among-neighbors/ LOCATION:Beth Tzedec CATEGORIES:Film Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bethtzedec.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Among-Neighbors_Horizontal-key-art-1-cropped.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20251101T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20251101T220000 DTSTAMP:20251002T185339Z CREATED:20251002T155943Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251002T185339Z UID:10001665-1762025400-1762034400@bethtzedec.ca SUMMARY:The Blond Boy from the Casbah DESCRIPTION:France 2024 | Director: Alexandre Arcady | French & Arabic with English subtitles | 126 minutes\nDrama \nAntoine\, a celebrated filmmaker\, travels back to his birthplace\, Algiers\, with his young son to present his latest film: an account of his childhood in mid-20th century Algeria during the country’s civil war. As he wanders through the city\, the filmmaker immerses us in the moments of happiness\, laughter\, and tears of his childhood – spent between school\, friends\, and his Jewish family. Growing up during the final moments of Algeria’s pre-independence period\, the young Antoine discovers his profound fascination with cinema and starts to understand who he truly is. \nBased on French Jewish director Alexandre Arcady’s childhood years in Algeria\, this bittersweet semi-autobiographical dramedy presents an enchanting and nostalgic look at the vivid tapestry of life in the Casbah – a poor\, multicultural section of the city where Jews\, Muslims and Christians had once lived together in peaceful co-existence for generations.   \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \n  URL:https://bethtzedec.ca/event/the-blond-boy-from-the-casbah/ LOCATION:Beth Tzedec CATEGORIES:Film Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bethtzedec.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Blond-Boy-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20251027T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20251027T180000 DTSTAMP:20260226T162319Z CREATED:20250801T165243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T162319Z UID:10001596-1761584400-1761588000@bethtzedec.ca SUMMARY:Judaism 201 DESCRIPTION:Ready to go deeper in your Jewish learning?
