SUMMARY:Jewish Film Discussion Series: Bulgarian Rhapsody
DESCRIPTION:Bulgarian Rhapsody\n\n\nSummer of 1943. The Jews of Greater Bulgaria must adhere to the laws of Germany. Two 17-year olds; Moni: a Jewish youngster from Sofia; and Giogio\, the son of the commissar for Jewish affairs’ driver\, meet Shelly\, a Jewish girl from Kavala (Greece). The two face the values and limits of friendship as they both fall in love with her\, while outside rages their conflicted world. The Bulgarians are ordered to deport the Jews; trains traverse Bulgaria with 11\,343 Jews from Macedonia and Tracia. The fate of the three youngsters mirrors the lives of the Balkan Jews during WWII\, challenged with the horrors of that period. \nOfficial Entry – Best Foreign Language Film | 2015 Academy Awards \nA Film by Ivan Nichev\nBulgaria/Israel\, 2014\nDrama\, Romance\nBulgarian (with English subtitles)\n103 minutes

SUMMARY:Jewish Film Discussion Series: 24 Days
DESCRIPTION:After dinner with his family\, Ilan Halimi gets a call from a beautiful girl who had approached him at work and makes plans to meet her for coffee. Ilan didn’t suspect a thing. He was 23 and had his whole life ahead of him. The next time Ilan’s family heard from him was through a cryptic online message from kidnappers demanding ransom in exchange for their son’s life. Based on a book co-written by the victim’s mother\, Ruth Halimi\, Director Alexandre Arcady’s cinematic adaptation offers a harrowing view into this ordeal: from his kidnapping and torture at the hands of the Gang of Barbarians\, to the nearly 700 phone calls\, insults\, and threats received by his family. Meanwhile the Parisian police fail to recognize the anti-Semitic hatred of his abductors. \nDirected by Alexandre Arcady\nFrance\, 2015\nDrama\nFrench (with English subtitles)\n110 minutes \nFilms are available on the screening site ChaiFlicks here.

SUMMARY:Virtual Jewish Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Jewish book club (separate from the Israeli book club )  meets online monthly on the second Tuesday at 1 PM to discuss selected books by Jewish authors. \nThis month’s book is The Third Daughter by Talia Carner. Care­ful­ly researched and metic­u­lous­ly nov­el­ized\, Carn­er tells the sto­ry of Batya\, the third of many daugh­ters of a strug­gling Russ­ian milk­man. Batya’s two old­er sis­ters have already gone astray — one mar­ried a rev­o­lu­tion­ary and the oth­er\, a gen­tile. Exis­tence is uncer­tain\, and pogroms reg­u­lar­ly dec­i­mate entire shtetls. Echoes of ​“Fid­dler on the Roof” are unavoid­able\, but the par­al­lels stop when Batya\, at four­teen\, catch­es the eye of what seems to be a rich\, eli­gi­ble man from ​“Amer­i­ca.” Smooth and redo­lent with cologne\, he promis­es Batya’s father that he will mar­ry her when she is six­teen — mean­while keep­ing her safe with his sis­ter. The patri­arch imag­ines a gild­ed world in which his daugh­ter will ride in car­riages and dine on fine chi­na. Lit­tle does he know that there are will be no mar­riages or car­riages. Instead\, young Batya (and thou­sands like her) will be raped with­in days of kiss­ing her mameh and tateh good­bye\, and that her suitor’s ​“sis­ter” runs an Argen­tin­ian whore­house in which Batya will be enslaved. \nIf you are interested in joining the book club\, please email tami@jcc-asheville.org.

SUMMARY:Noah Aronson: LIVE Virtual CONCERT!
DESCRIPTION:Known for his unique\, engaging\, and deeply soulful approach\, Noah Aronson is considered one of the most sought after Jewish musicians in North America. Noah’s educational and liturgical music has been featured on several compilations from the PJ Library series and multiple Transcontinental Music Publications’ projects including their Ruach Series\, Shabbat Anthologies\, Mishkan HaNefesh Project\, and Chazak v’Emetz Social Justice release. \nJoin us on July 9 from 6 – 6:30 pm EDT for a live digital Asheville JCC performance by Noah Aronson! This concert is for adults\, teens\, children\, and families. Noah’s music is  prayerful and full of uplifting messages for this time of uncertainty.  \nTickets are $20 per adult and $30 for a family ticket. RSVP to info@jccavldev.wpengine.com to register. \n \nHere’s what people are saying about Noah Aronson: \n“Noah Aronson\, perhaps the most sought after Jewish musician of our time\, once again graced our bimah this past Friday. Every time we are fortunate enough to experience prayer through his music\, his spirit\, his soul\, our community soars to new heights of prayer. Our Temple B’nai Or family knows by now to not miss his appearances. His accessible and soulful melodies have inspired our congregation and have made it into our regular worship practice. His teachings on the bimah involve and excite all who are present and lastly\, his soft and beautiful voice moved us all so deeply. We are so grateful for all we have experienced and can’t wait for the next opportunity to have him back.”\n– Cantor Galit Dadoun-Cohen\, B’nai Or\, Morristown\, NJ \n“Noah brought us a perfectly thought through program\, impeccably rehearsed\, and effortlessly presented to the participants at Mifgash Musicale at Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati\, Ohio. For me\, personally\, the groove of tasteful rock music in the sacred setting of the Chapel was particularly moving. Not to be overlooked was an impromptu tribute to Stevie Wonder\, improvised after the formal  program concluded\, and that\, in itself\, shook the roof off the house.” \n-Dr. Alan Mason President\, Guild of Temple Musicians
