2018 Film Fest: What’s in Store

2018 Film Fest: What’s in Store
It’s almost that time of year! Grab some popcorn, a drink, and kick back at the Dayton Jewish Film Festival. This year’s festival will take place from April 17–May 10. We showcase some of the greatest cinematography and award winning feature and documentary movies currently offered.

This year, we are excited to show two fabulous Israeli films. Eran Riklis’ edge of your seat thriller Shelter follows the relationship that develops between an Israeli Mossad agent and a Lebanese informant, that is exposed to the threat of terror that is engulfing the world today. You can check out Shelter on Sunday, April 29, at 5:15pm at the Neon (130 E. 5th St 45402).
On Wednesday, May 2, join us at the Neon at 7:15pm for The Cakemaker, directed by Ofir Raul Graizer. Winner of the Lia Van Leer Award for Jewish heritage at the Jerusalem Film Festival and Ecumenical Jury prize at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, this tender film explores relationships, forbidden love, and the human desire for connection.

If you would like to attend the JCC’s Film Fest, please contact Karen Steiger at (937) 610-1555 or purchase tickets online through the calendar.

Supporting Israel
Cathy Gardner

This week has been very difficult for Jews around the world, especially in Israel. People with friends and family in Israel are trying their best to keep in touch with their loved ones, and act as a source of strength during this difficult time. We here at the Federation have been keeping abreast of the situation through webinars provided by Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), and through contact with our friends in our Partnership2Gether (P2G) area and Dayton’s sister city of Holon. When an Iranian missile strike hit Holon, we wanted to make sure citizens in the city knew...

Local Leaders Express Views on Antisemitism
Cathy Gardner

Since October 7th, figuring out how we, as Jews, feel about the global Jewish community and the rise in antisemitism here in the United States has been increasingly difficult to articulate. It is important that the Jewish community’s concerns regarding antisemitism be shared not just within our own community, but also with the community-at-large. Last Sunday, the Dayton Daily News published opinion pieces from three Jewish community leaders ~ Jeff Blumer (Jewish Community Relations Council Director), Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz (Senior Rabbi at Temple Israel) and Rabbi Judy Chessin (Senior Rabbi at Temple Beth Or) ~ each brilliantly capturing their views...

Eighty Years Later
Cathy Gardner

As we prepare to remember and honor those who perished and survived during the Holocaust, we must not forget the stories of the Liberators. At this Sunday’s Yom Hashoah Observance, we will hear from Elaine Buckler, who will share the story of her father, Paul Buckler, who participated in the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp on April 29, 1945. I was fortunate enough to hear another liberator’s story earlier this week, when I attended the 45th Annual Governor’s Holocaust Commemoration. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine shared the story of his father, who participated in the liberation of Dachau as part of...
