More about Dara's story, "Homecoming:" Dara is on the adventure of her life studying art in Australia when she gets that call-- her mom is dying, and she has to come home. Suddenly, their already difficult mother/daughter relationship becomes a lot more complicated. How do you make amends with a dead mom? What follows is a winding journey through the awkward, painful, unexpectedly hilarious process of finding yourself again after loss. More about Rebecca's story, "Gifted:" We spend our lives trying to figure out exactly who we are. Some things we get from our families, and some things are purely us, right? Join comedian and storyteller Becca on a journey about a surprise gift that changed everything as she knew it. This is a hilarious and gripping adventure about growing up and the mysteries that we discover - and sometimes even solve - along the way.

The AHEC invites you to join us for the third screening of our 13th annual Holocaust in Film Series: Rescue, Escape, and Liberation, sponsored by the Perlman Donor Advised Fund. On March 17, at Sidewalk Film Center & Cinema, we will screen the powerful and deeply moving documentary “No Place on Earth.” Based on the memoir of Holocaust survivor Esther Stermer, this documentary tells the shocking story of three Jewish families—38 people in total—who escaped the Nazis and survived the Holocaust by hiding in a cave in Ukraine. Following the screening, Michele Forman—a second-generation Survivor, award-winning documentarian, and UAB media studies professor—will lead a discussion about the film to deepen audience understanding of the extreme strength and sacrifices needed to escape the Nazi regime and survive the Holocaust, as well as the role documentaries must play in preserving Holocaust memory. Tickets are $10 per person. Purchase your tickets today!

The largest section of the TaNaKh, our most central Jewish text, is Nevi’im, the Prophets. In the numerous books of this section, we encounter the prophets of our tradition. The prophets in this text are passionate and moral people who desperately want to pass the word of God onto the Israelite people. The task of these figures is to be a compelling microphone of God, and help the chosen people find the best way to live according to God’s laws. Each prophet strives to make the world a better place. In the course, we will dive deeply into the Prophets, learning how to apply the text to our modern lives as well as examining the text itself through a lens on the Hebrew and commentary.
