  • Shabbat Vayishlach 5781 ​Connecting to Israel Through TV
    Shabbat Vayishlach 5781 Connecting to Israel through TV: My Favorite Israeli Shows Streaming Now, and What ​ They Say About Israel Today Rabbi Alex Freedman Shabbat shalom! Let's begin with a joke: What did Moses share in common with most American Jews? He always talked about making Aliyah but never actually did! ​ ​ OK, I'm being unfair to Moses, a man who devoted himself endlessly to the People Israel. It made him sick that G-d did not let him enter the Promised Land. (Even though - brace yourselves - Moses actually did set foot in Israel. More on that later). ​ ​ These weeks, many synagogues are following the lead of the American Zionist Movement and hosting a Zionist Shabbat to strengthen the connection between our communities and Israel. Thanks to Sandy Starkman for encouraging this. The AZM does wonderful things to bring us closer to Israel, and our own Rabbi Kurtz is a former president of the AZM. Clearly, the best way to connect to Israel is to go there, to “Kum Hit’halech Ba’aretz,” to ​ ​ walk about it with your own two feet. To feel with your own heart that you’ve returned home. To see with your own eyes the golden hue of Jerusalem stone as the sun sets. To hear with your own ears “Shabbat shalom!” from every direction everywhere you go on Fridays. To taste with your own mouth the heavenly combination of warm, soft, fresh pita bread, savory hummus and crunchy-on-the-outside falafel. Israel, the land of milki ​ and honey. So what are we to do these days, when we cannot safely travel there because of Coronavirus? Today I want to speak about a relatively new way of connecting to Israel: television.

  • 2020 Tribeca Film Festival​®​ Announces Feature Lineup
    Press Materials available here: https://tribeca1.box.com/s/74t5qily2ipxv9zdgl6g33wtofvzc8f5 ® 2020 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL ​ ANNOUNCES FEATURE LINEUP OF FILMS ​ Program highlights politically, culturally and socially relevant films from diverse storytellers NEW YORK – March 3, 2020 – The 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, today ​ ​ ​ ​ unveiled its feature film lineup. Continuing its tradition of championing the discovery of emerging voices and celebrating new work from established talent, the 19th edition of the Festival foregrounds comedic, music-centered, political and socially-conscious films from diverse storytellers who use art to inspire positive change and community restoration. The 2020 Tribeca Film Festival will run April 15-26. The features program will include 115 films from 124 filmmakers from across 33 different countries. The line-up includes 95 world premieres, 2 international premieres, 4 North American premieres, 4 U.S. premieres, and 9 New York premieres and one sneak preview. This year's program includes 19 directors returning to Tribeca with their latest projects, and 44 of the feature films have one or more women directors. The feature program was curated from 3,385 submissions, and this year’s Festival received a record 10,397 total submissions across all categories. “First comes the story, then empathy, then comes change. When you change the narrator, you empower different voices to show audiences new worlds through their eyes,” said Paula Weinstein, Chief Content Officer of Tribeca Enterprises and program advisor. “We are privileged to have so many new and rich worlds brought to life by visionary storytellers. We hope audiences leave the Festival deeply touched, moved, and entertained.” “This year’s festival embraces the unique power of film to bring people together -- whether that’s literally the communal experience of watching a film in a packed theater, or the more intangible way a great film can make you empathize with a stranger’s struggle,” said Cara Cusumano, Festival Director.
