    H-Film CFP: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen (6/1/16; 10/26-30/16) Discussion published by Cynthia Miller on Friday, March 18, 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS CFP: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen An area of multiple panels for the 2016 Film & History Conference: Gods and Heretics: Figures of Power and Subversion in Film and Television October 26-October 30, 2016 The Milwaukee Hilton Milwaukee, WI (USA) DEADLINE for abstracts: June 1, 2016 AREA: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen Despite Judaism’s commandment against making graven images of God, films representing Jewish faith in God—or doubt in the face of collective and personal catastrophes and competing worldviews—have abounded from the advent of the movie industry. Since God cannot be visualized, movies must rely on depictions of an omnipotent historical and moral force, or a source of belief compelling Jews to endure martyrdom, persecution, and segregation, and to observe Jewish law and rituals. Motion pictures about how God informs modern Jewish lives have become more varied with the emergence of Jewish denominationalism and secular ideologies, like socialism or Zionism, often pitting factions within the Jewish community against each other. This area welcomes papers and panels that explore how Jewish belief and disbelief in God are constructed by filmmakers in documentaries and feature movies. The following themes are suggestions and should not be construed as the only topics that would fit in this area: The portrayal of Judaism in documentaries: Heritage: Civilization and the Jews (1984), A Life Apart (1997), and The Story of the Jews (2013).

    PROGRAM GUIDE FALL 2020 | 5781 2020–2021 | 5781 1 Dear Members of B’nai Israel, Our building may be closed, but our community is open. For months now we have reiterated this vital message about our beloved B’nai Israel Congregation. As we gradually resume certain in-person gatherings, such as Shabbat morning services with limited attendance, we are still planning to host the vast majority of our programs and events in the virtual space. We are excited to present the B’nai Israel Program Guide for Fall 2020. The Guide offers an overview of the programs and events that shape our active and dynamic community. Unless otherwise noted, the programs and events listed in this Guide will take place virtually. This Guide covers events that take place through January 2021. The Guide for Winter and Spring 2021 will be published later this fall. We know that the pandemic has presented numerous challenges to us as individuals, as families, and as a community. We hope that the programs and events planned for the season ahead will engage you in a meaningful way, sustaining us, empowering us, and enabling us to continue forward on our Jewish journeys. We wish to express sincere gratitude and appreciation to the staff and volunteers whose names appear throughout the pages of this Guide, and to all of you for your steadfast support of B’nai Israel. Please note that all dates and times are subject to change. Updates will circulate in the Scroll, Upcoming Events emails, and at www.bnaiisraelcong.org throughout the year. May 5781 be a year of health and well-being for each of us, Michael J.
