SUMMARY:Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of Sholom Aleichem
DESCRIPTION:A special invitation to the first theatrical screening of Theodore Bikel’s highly acclaimed film\n“To be with him is to be in the presence of greatness.”-Ed Asner \nTheodore Bikel had a magnificent career that spanned over 75 years in show business. Few garnered such distinguished recognition in music\, film\, literature\, and stage. Theo’s latest\, and last\, film\, called “Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of Sholom Aleichem\,” will be showing simultaneously at four Laemmle Theatres in Los Angeles on Oct 19th at 7:30 PM and on Oct 20th at 1pm\, with a special screening\, dedicated to this legendary thespian on Oct 19th at 7:30 pm at the newly reopened Laemmle Ahrya (previously the Fine Arts) in Beverly Hills. The evening will serve as the first public memorial for Theo\, with special greetings and a chance to raise a glass and toast Theo during a post screening reception. \nTheo considered this autobiographical film\, which has been showing with great success at film festivals in the US and abroad\, to be his crowning achievement. Please join Theo’s colleagues and the theatre community for a memorable experience. \nWHEN: Oct 19th at 7:30pm \nWHERE: The new Laemmle Ahrya (previously the Fine Arts)\, 8556 Wilshire Blvd\, Beverly Hills\, CA 90211 (near Robertson) – 310659-9171 \nTICKETS: For tickets ($10\, $12\, $15)\, additional locations and times\, visit http://www.laemmle.com/films/39526 \n“Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of Sholom Aleichem” combines Bikel’s charismatic storytelling and masterful performances with a broader exploration of Shalom Aleichem’s remarkable life and work. \nA pioneer of modern Jewish literature who championed and luxuriated in the Yiddish language\, Sholom Aleichem created dozens of indelible characters. His Tevye the Milkman\, Motl the Cantor’s Son\, and Menachem Mendl–“shtetl Jews” for whom humor and pathos were two sides of the same Yiddish coin–remain invaluable windows into pre-war Eastern European Jewish life\, real and imagined. Portraits of two beloved icons–Sholom Aleichem and Theodore Bikel–are woven together in this enchanting new documentary. The two men have much in common: wit\, wisdom and talent\, all infused with deep humanity and Yiddishkeit. \nFor more information about Theodore Bikel\, please visit: http://www.bikel.com

SUMMARY:How two Japanese "Schindlers" Rescued 6\,000 Jews
DESCRIPTION:Chiune Sugihara\, as Japanese Consul serving in Kovno\, Lithuania at the onset of WW II\, risked his family\, career\, livelihood\, and life by issuing visas to thousands of Jewish refugees who were then able to flee to Japan\, China\, and numerous other countries in safety. They became known as Sugihara Survivors.\nProf. Setsuzo Kotsuji\, is a lesser-known though just as important a hero. With his intervention\, the Japanese authorities agreed to extend the refugees’ visas several times\, letting them stay for eight months instead of the original two-week period\, thus helping to ensure their lives. \nDrawing on extensive research\, Yiddish and Jewish Literature expert\nProf. Yoshigi Hirose presents fascinating and moving stories about these two Japanese heroes in order to prove that “goodness is ultimately as contagious as evil.”

SUMMARY:Yiddish Avant-Garde to American Mainstream
DESCRIPTION:Boris Aronson\, recipient of six Tony awards for Best Scenic Design\, was one of the most prolific and important artists of the American theater.  \nIn exploring Aronson’s journey from the Yiddish theater to Broadway\,\nwe demonstrate some of the many ways in which the Yiddish theater intersected with the mainstream American stage\, leaving a lasting legacy that is still felt in the American theatrical institution to this day.  \nBorn in Ukraine\, the son of the Grand Rabbi of Kiev\, Aronson began his stage career in America in 1923\, designing for the avant-garde Yiddish Art Theaters in New York.

SUMMARY:Music of a Vanishing Civilization
DESCRIPTION:The most extraordinary spiritual resistance took place during the darkest times of the Holocaust. \nLyrics and music were written and performed in ghettos\, partisan forests\, and even the camps as a means of expression\, encouragement\, and resistance to inhumanity and annihilation. \nMost of these songs were written in Yiddish\, the language of the vast majority of Eastern European Jews. To sing them\, and hear them\, in the original is to truly honor not only the lost lives but also the civilization that birthed and sustained Jews for centuries — a remarkable and unique civilization that continues to vanish before our eyes.
