Museum of Jewish Heritage, JewishGen and Jewish Life Television to launch first Jewishthemed genealogy TV series

The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, JewishGen and JLTV are partnering to produce Generations, the first Jewish-themed genealogy television series that will use the vast digital resources of JewishGen, the historical resources of the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the production resources of JLTV to unravel centuries-old family histories.

The groundbreaking series—planned to pilot this fall—will uncover and explore each featured luminary’s family tree, delve into where their ancestors lived, as well as reveal artifacts, objects, documents and photographs that paint a full family portrait. Guests, including prominent Jewish celebrities and dignitaries, will be announced at a later date.

“We look forward to partnering with JewishGen and JLTV—two pillars in the Jewish community—to bring this show to life. We hope this new series will provide moments of discovery to those we feature and to broader audiences, where they will learn more about their ancestry and how to access the resources available. To better know who we are, we need to know where we came from. These personal stories will also provide opportunities to learn about many important moments and movements in Jewish history,” said Jack Kliger, president and CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage.

Generations will be anchored by Brad Pomerance, host of awardwinning television programs such as Air Land & Sea on JLTV, Uncovered in the Archives on KVCR in Southern California and formerly Local Edition on HLN. Brad has received several awards for his work from the American Psychological Association’s Society of Media Psychology, Los Angeles Press Club, Religion Communicators Council, Religion News Association (1st Place, Outstanding Religion Documentary, 2021), Society of American Archivists and Telly Awards.

Avraham Groll, executive director of JewishGen, said “helping people retrace their family history and strengthening their sense of Jewish identity aligns perfectly with JewishGen’s mission of being the global home for Jewish genealogy. This partnership is an ideal path to learn, discover and grow, all while demonstrating how people can utilize our unique collection of records, and unparalleled historical and community-focused resources on their own. It will demonstrate that Jewish Genealogy is accessible for anyone with a desire to gain a deeper understanding of their Jewish roots, no matter their level of familiarity or expertise.”

Pomerance added that “knowing one’s family history helps us to better understand ourselves and where we came from. It is an honor to partner with JewishGen and the Museum of Jewish Heritage to launch this new series. We can’t wait for our viewers to watch Generations.”

The announcement comes as the Museum of Jewish Heritage cements its plans to establish the Peter and Mary Kalikow Jewish Genealogy Research Center, where visitors can access the Jewish genealogy resources within JewishGen and the museum’s respective collections to discover more about their Jewish history.

The space will contain computer stations where people can access JewishGen’s genealogy resources and its vast collection of records and data. It will have printers for visitors to bring their research home, and contain hundreds of Yizkor (Memorial) Books and print materials. There also will be on-site volunteers and content experts to assist people.

The Event Experience Operating System (OS), today announced two significant updates to Klik Experiential, its wearable event technology for B2B conferences and flagship events. The company is releasing The Edge, its sleekest, most environmentally friendly SmartBadge™ yet, and introducing Klik à la Carte, a new standalone option for event professionals.

Building upon the success of its original SmartBadge, The Edge is a new lightweight, versatile badge with built-in wearable technology that offers enhanced event branding opportunities with unparalleled data collection, engagement, and networking opportunities.

One of the most noticeable upgrades is in the badge itself. The original SmartBadge featured a sleeve design with wearable tech on the front of the badge. The Edge is die-cut and made out of ABS plastic, which is more durable and environmentally friendly.

The wearable hardware device has been moved to the back of The Edge badge, leaving a small pill-shaped cutout on the front that glows with every interaction. This gives event organizers more space for unique branding on the front and back of the badge. In addition, The Edge design makes it easier to refurbish the wearable tech, improving overall sustainability.

"The Edge is a true next-generation SmartBadge — one we built based on feedback from our customers and their eventgoers," said Bizzabo CEO and Co-founder Eran Ben-Shushan. "Customization and flexibility are key, and The Edge delivers that while continuing to improve the attendee experience and capturing rich, real-time behavioral insights."

Klik à la Carte expands wearable technology compatibility to any registration system

Klik Experiential delivers a next-level, data-rich experience for attendees, sponsors, and organizers alike. Klik has powered flagship events for some of the world's most recognizable brands, including Adobe, Shopify, Forbes, PwC, and Deloitte.

Tens of thousands of conference attendees worldwide have worn Klik SmartBadges since their launch in 2022. Klik has powered nearly 1 million contact exchanges and facilitated 65,000 digital content downloads at events.

With the launch of Klik à la Carte, Bizzabo introduces new interoperability to its Kilk SmartBadges, the Klik Exhibitor App, and the Klik Analytics Dashboard, enabling event organizers to incorporate them into their in-person conferences.

"Now more than ever, our mandate is to empower our customers to design better, more intentional in-person event experiences that foster community and drive business outcomes," said Bizzabo CMO and Co-founder Alon Alroy. "This is why we're launching Klik à la Carte — to make this cutting-edge technology more accessible to event organizers and agencies alike."

"May December" seems to be a thought-provoking film that delves into complex themes of performance, identity, and ethical boundaries. Natalie Portman stars as an actor researching a scandal from the past, where Julianne Moore's character, Gracie Atherton-Yoo, was involved in a sexual relationship with a seventh grader, who she is now seemingly happily married to, played by Charles Melton

The film's script, penned by Samy Burch, navigates these thorny themes in a light but deliberate manner, keeping the audience engaged and constantly shifting their perceptions of the characters. Director Todd Haynes, who has previously worked with Julianne Moore, expresses his admiration for the tonally rich script and the challenge of visually translating its complexities

For Natalie Portman, "May December" offers a chance to work with a director she admires and explore her own fascinations with performance, art, and innocence. As a producer on the film as well, Portman is drawn to the layers of artifice and the use of lies to tell the truth, which she sees as a magical element of filmmaking.

The film draws some inspiration from real-life cases, with Gracie's character sharing similarities with Mary Kay Letourneau, a teacher who had a relationship with a student. Throughout Haynes' filmography, questions of identity and artifice have been recurrent themes, and Portman's shared approach to film made her an excellent fit for the project.

Haynes praises Portman's eagerness to engage with the disquieting aspects of her character, indicating that she skillfully inhabits the role despite the character's reckless nature Unlike some of her previous roles that required extensive research, Portman's preparation for this part seems to have been mostly done beforehand.

Overall, "May December" promises to be a thought-provoking and layered exploration of complex themes, supported by a talented cast and a rigorous script The film was acquired by Netflix and is scheduled for release later this year.

Valley Stream Sisters Create Mitzvah Bracelets for Pancreatic Cancer Research

Inna Vernov, NY

Cancer impacted my and my husband family a few times. We have lost my (Inna) grandmother and my husband (Henry Igor) mom to pancreatic cancer. As a family we did a lot of walks and always tried to be involved as much as we can by donating to cancer organizations and research Naturally the girls have picked up on that and the last 3 summers they would sell homemade lemonade (Henry Igor) made and Brownies (Inna) made They donated each dollar to different cancer organizations

November 2022 Sarina received a gift for her 9th birthday on clay beads. They started to make the bracelets, they made a lot and said to us, Mom Dad can we donate these to sick kids battling cancer? That's how we stared with Bracelets. January 2023 the kids put together their mission statement, logo, photographed bracelets and launched the website.

I think the most important aspect of their mission is that they want to evolve and include other kids To teach that there are others who are very sick in the hospital, and we are here to really help by brightening their day one bracelet at a time Girls were able to do quite a few bracelets events and they teach the kids that what we are doing is a big deal, its a big Mitzvah and it will make a little boy or a girl so happy. They tell the kids that these kids are different they might have lost their hair, and we need to support them and not make fun. As a parent to us, to know that kids want to help others and educate at the same time is the biggest achievement.

They also ask kids to be their ambassadors. Someone who can draw a picture which their include on a post card with every bracelet delivery.

The girls were able to donate to hospitals in US and 2 Hospitals in Israel. They are also involved with a lot of care package organizations that put together gift to pediatric cancer children all over US.

Bracelet purchase can be done on the website, with each bracelet sold, they will make 3 more bracelets for children battling cancer

Donations are always welcome

We are non a non-profit yet as it requires a large financial commitment, but the girls are working and putting money aside to achieve the goal and become a non-profit!

Rare Marc Chagall Painting of His Father, Recently Restituted to the Descendants of

Its Original Owner, on View at the Jewish Museum

Marc Chagall’s painting Le Père (1911), which was recently restituted to the descendants of its original owner, is now on view at the Jewish Museum through January 1, 2024

Completed in 1911, during a transformative period in the artist’s career, Le Père was among 15 works of art that the French Government restituted in April of 2022, part of an ongoing effort to return works in its museums that were stolen by the Nazis during World War II. The painting was restituted to the descendants of David Cender, the original owner, and sold at auction by Phillips in November 2022. Following the sale, Phillips’ team in New York worked with the buyer of the artwork and facilitated the loan to the Museum.

Claudia Gould, Helen Goldsmith Menschel Director, said, “The Jewish Museum is honored to show Chagall’s rare portrait of his father. The vast and systemic pillaging of artworks during World War II, and the eventual rescue and return of many, is one of the most dramatic stories of twentieth-century art, and one that continues to have repercussions today It is imperative that the Jewish Museum tells these stories, most recently doing so with our exhibition Afterlives: Recovering the Lost Stories of Looted Art (2021) We are grateful to Phillips for facilitating this loan ”

Part of the collection of David Cender, a musical instrument-maker from Łódź, Poland, the work was stolen from him in 1940 before he was sent to Auschwitz with his family While Cender survived, his wife, daughter, and other relatives were killed at Auschwitz By the early 1950s, the painting had been reacquired by Chagall himself, who held a particular affinity for it The artist was likely unaware of the history of the painting’s ownership In 1988, the Musée national d’art moderne, Centre national d’art et de culture Georges-Pompidou in Paris received the painting by donation from Chagall’s estate Ten years later, the work was deposited into the Musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme in Paris, where it was on view for 24 years before research showed that the work should be and was restituted to Cender’s heirs.

Le Père is a dynamic portrait that signifies Chagall’s pivotal transition from art student in Saint Petersburg to one of the defining figures of European Modernism. During the winter of 1911-1912, Chagall moved into La Ruche, an artists’ commune on the outskirts of Montparnasse, France. The works he created over the next three years are among the most highly regarded of his career, with his portraits bearing particular significance. Le Père is an intimate portrait of th me manual labor job. Portraits o of lovers that dominated much o

Israeli Culinary Institute Announces Opening Date

The Galilee Culinary Institute by JNF (GCI by JNF) will officially open its doors on May 7, 2024. Located in the Greater Kiryat Shmona Region - Israel's northernmost point -- the first-of-its-kind institution will enable a new generation of students to experience the region's rich melting pot of culinary traditions while providing a syllabus that sets it apart from other schools.

"Israel's Galilee region is home to over 80 unique cultures," explained Jewish National Fund-USA World Chairman's Council Ambassador, Steve Rosenfield. "Where else in the world can you learn about Ethiopian and Druze food in the morning, Lebanese cooking in the afternoon, and Jewish Sephardic cuisines from North Africa in the evening? GCI by JNF will mark a new era in culinary education, yet it will also bring transformational economic development to Israel's north thanks to the jobs and tourism it will attract "

Further emphasizing the Institute's positive economic impact, Rosenfield added: "The upper eastern Galilee has been out of the spotlight for too long because of the complicated economic and security situation Through Jewish National Fund-USA's philanthropic investments in the region, we are adding new housing sites, a new medical center, a food technology center, and a food incubator in addition to GCI by JNF "

GCI by JNF CEO, Nathan Hoffman, echoed Rosenfield's excitement "The opening of the school means everything to me," he said "I've been waiting for this day since I started in May 2019 To me, this solidifies everything and provides a timeline for executing our strategic plan "

Housed within GCI by JNF, the Rosenfield School of Culinary Arts will welcome students from around the world with plans underway to also offer shorter culinary programs for tourists and locals

"It's always incredible to see a vision evolve into reality," said GCI by JNF Chief Culinary Officer and Co-founder, Lior Lev Sercarz. "The opening of our institution will be a watershed moment for Israel's north, yet it will also mark a new chapter in how our industry approaches culinary education as our impact is felt around the globe."

"I am so proud to see our game-changing initiative come to fruition," added GCI by JNF Chair and Co-chair of the Go North East Task Force, Sheryl Buchholtz. "In everything we do at Jewish National Fund-USA, we always ask, 'what's the Return on Investment (ROI) for the people of Israel?' Projects like GCI by JNF help change the narrative in previously underserved places like Kiryat Shmona We are bringing jobs and tourism to the region, yet most importantly, we are creating hope and a reason for the next generation to stay and develop their communities "

Regarding the Institute's target demographic, Hoffman explained: "We are looking to attract the next generation of culinary leaders Many places accept anyone who can pay However, we will focus on engaging students with the most passion, promise, and potential "

GCI by JNF will differentiate itself from other institutions by focusing on transforming culinary education While most institutes strictly focus on the kitchen, with students usually learning about their workstations and how to use the different kitchen supplies on 'day one,' GCI's students will first start on the farm They will see where food comes from with the Institute's experiential approach to learning "You learn about wine from the vineyard, bread from the wheatfields, and fruit from the orchards, not from a book or video," explained Hoffman
