SUMMARY:What History Teaches: Between Terror and Resilience- Jewish Life in Nazi Germany
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the 1930s\, German Jews were caught in a cycle of relentless terror created by the Gestapo and targeted laws designed to strip away their dignity. As they desperately sought escape and refuge\, most countries made immigration exceedingly difficult. Neighbors who were once friends now ostracized them. Their children were pushed to the back of classrooms\, they were banned from park benches\, and they lost their jobs. Amid constant persecution and prejudice\, Jews fought to carve out small crevices where their humanity and identity could survive. They formed creative support networks\, shared information\, and leaned on community resilience. In these acts\, we see the ingenuity and courage with which Jews created spaces of dignity\, connection\, and hope.

SUMMARY:Matilda Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Matilda JR is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents\, Matilda finds refuge in library books\, which she reads quickly and in creating her own stories. Things are no better at school\, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress\, Miss Trunchbull\, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum\,” or “Children are Maggots.” She finds companionship in her teacher\, Miss Honey\, who\, though well-intentioned\, is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world\, and in doing so\, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson — that even though life can be hard\, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.” \n  \nDoors open 30 minutes before show time. Show runs a little over an hour. Directed by Alie B. Gorrie and Assitant Directed by Kristin Staskowski.

SUMMARY:Matilda Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Matilda JR is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents\, Matilda finds refuge in library books\, which she reads quickly and in creating her own stories. Things are no better at school\, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress\, Miss Trunchbull\, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum\,” or “Children are Maggots.” She finds companionship in her teacher\, Miss Honey\, who\, though well-intentioned\, is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world\, and in doing so\, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson — that even though life can be hard\, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.” \n  \nDoors open 30 minutes before show time. Show runs a little over an hour. Directed by Alie B. Gorrie and Assitant Directed by Kristin Staskowski.

SUMMARY:Freedom Song - A Story of Recovery - TEE
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this meaningful presentation of the play\, “Freedom Song”\, brought to us by Beit T\,shuvah ~ a recovery organization based on Jewish values located in Los Angeles\, California. \n  \nFreedom Song is a transformative musical that shatters the myth of Jews being immune to addiction by interweaving the story of Passover and personal stories of addiction. The cast is made up of addicts in recovery from drugs\, alcohol\, gambling\, and other destructive behaviors. Through songs\, dance\, tears\, laughter\, and post-show discussion with the cast\, Freedom Song will open your eyes to the real-life struggle against the ‘bondage of self’ that we all fight every day.
