16A Federation Star February 2018 Community invited to three very special GenShoah programs in February “ Ida Margolis GenShoah Chair Moving Pictures: An Analysis of Films About the Holocaust” will be presented by Dr. Andre Krauss on Sunday, February 18 at 5:00 p.m. at Beth Tikvah, 1459 Pine Ridge Road, Naples. A research fellow at the Institute of Sociology at the Romanian Academy, Dr. Krauss is a published art historian and media psychologist. He holds doctorates in History of Art from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Social Psychology from the University of Bucharest, Romania. Krauss will present a riveting program which will address many discussions and controversies about Holocaust filmography, including the controversial topic: Is comedy an appropriate genre for narrating the Holocaust? Film clips from dozens of documentaries and feature films will be shown as Dr. Krauss reviews the different genres and techniques used intentionally – and perhaps unintentionally – to report, explain and often manipulate the subject of the Holocaust. Krauss will discuss how various individual personalities and style preferences of movie directors – such as Claude Lanzmann and Steven Spielberg – had their imprint on Holocaust cinematography, and how political contingencies also governed the production and distribution of movies about the Holocaust. Reservations are required for this program and should be made by sending a $10 check payable to HMEC to the Holocaust Museum & Education Center of Southwest Florida, 4760 Tamiami Trail North, Ste. 7, Naples, FL 34103. Please be sure to indicate that the reservation is for the program on Sunday, February 18. The award-winning film Fanny’s Journey will be presented on Tuesday, February 6 at 7:00 p.m. at Beth Tikvah. “Based on a true story, Fanny’s Journey is an incredible tale of bravery, strength and survival, a story of a daring young girl who will stop at nothing and fear no one. In 1943, 13-year-old Fanny and her younger sisters were sent from their home in France to an Italian foster home for Jewish children. When the Nazis arrive in Italy, their caretakers desperately organize the departure of the children to Switzerland.” However, suddenly these children are left completely on their own. This superbly acted film that has won national and international awards is both suspenseful and inspirational. Considering buying or selling your home? Get ready for “Season”. CALL ME! I can help!

We explore the story, we insert ourselves into it, we ensure that it’s a personal narrative. hard to protect the history of our people during Pesach, so must we work to protect the history of our people during the Holocaust. The personal, firsthand accounts of the Jewish experience during WWII/the Holocaust and in the years of recovery afterwards, are vital partnering with survivors to hear their testimony, to share in their experiences. For the second year in a row, students will collaborate with survivors to gather these important moments of our history, to share them with the community, and help as we continue to weave the tapestry of our collective Jewish memory.

Sunday School for Adults Rabbi James Perman, Temple Shalom’s Rabbi Emeritus, returns to teach Sunday School for Adults on two Sunday mornings this month — the first, on February 4, and the second, February 25. This year, Rabbi Perman will turn his attention to two current topics that have been occupying much of our attention. These one-hour sessions begin at 10:30 a.m. The talk on February 4 is titled “O Jerusalem.” President Trump recently recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. That Jerusalem is Israel’s capital is hardly news to Jews and probably most people, yet Arab leaders seized the announcement as an incendiary torch to ignite further unrest throughout the Arab and Moslem world. Rabbi Perman will discuss the background behind this story from three religious points of view, as well as its far-reaching consequences today. The talk on February 25 is titled “Sex and Power.” This topic took on a particular urgency with the lurid revelations of Hollywood and Washington. Extraordinary women summoned the courage to tell their stories and reveal their long-held secrets. This development elicited similar stories from women in all walks of life. Judaism has had a lot to say about sexual morality dating back to biblical times. Rabbi Perman will present some core Jewish teachings as well as suggested remedies. Sunday School for Adults began in 1993 and is now in its 25 th year. Its purpose is the presentation of timely topics of Jewish interest for the congregation and beyond. All are welcome and there is no charge.
