Cinemidrash Elul will host writer Michel Kichka for a lecture following My Father’s Secrets (dir. Véra Belmont) on the challenges of second generation of Holocaust survivors. In small groups, working on texts from the film and additional Jewish-Israeli sources, we will study and explore a very complex issue: What are the ramifications on Israeli society – which hasn’t yet finished mourning the Holocaust – and the choices largely derived from an ongoing circle of bereavement?
Moderators: Shlomi Perlmutter and Miriam Levinovich
Entrance is free. Event will be held in Heb.
Elul, a pioneer (since 1989) in the revival of Beit Midrash studies in Israel, is a home for Jewish studies and renewal. The gates of Elul are open to both secular and religious men and women, inviting all to join moderated study circles and together, delve into a broad spectrum of Jewish sources: The Bible, the Talmud and the writings of the Sages, Jewish and general philosophy. Attentive listening and evenhanded dialogue flourish in the midst of diverse positions and identities in an environment that promotes connections and camaraderie. You are invited to develop your own interpretations in writing, art, and cultural initiatives that will create the future reality of Jewish-Israeli life in Zion and Jerusalem.
