SUMMARY:UK Jewish Film Festival - Once Upon My Mother / Beshert
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThis UKJFF event presents two films – a main feature film\, Once Upon My Mother and a short film\, Beshert . \nNOTE – Tickets to be booked from UKJFF box office: www.ukjewishfilm.org \n \nOnce Upon My Mother\nDrama | Dir. Ken Scott | 102 mins | France\, 2025 | French with English subtitles \nCelebrating a mother’s love in its most profound form\, and as Jewish tradition dictates\, also its most passionate\, Once Upon My Mother\, based on Roland Perez’s bestselling autobiographical novel\, is an absolute gem of a film: a big-hearted\, colourful\, emotional yet funny portrayal of excessive\, boundless\, parental love\, spanning decades. France\, 1963. Heartbroken to learn that Roland\, her sixth child\, was born with a clubfoot\, Esther Perez\, a Jewish immigrant from Morocco\, refuses to accept her son’s disability\, instead looking for alternative methods — as well as praying for a miracle — that would cure him. Esther remains utterly devoted to her son even after her prayers have been answered\, and well into Roland’s adulthood. Accompanied by a nostalgia-inducing soundtrack of French pop classics — including some by Jewish icon\, Sylvie Vartan (who also appears in the film) –— Once Upon My Mother\, with its indomitable heroine\, is a larger-than-life\, not-to-be-missed\, cinematic experience. \n \nBeshert\nDrama | Dir. Lewis Rose | 15 mins | UK\, 2025\nWritten by Gary Enkin\nProduced by Jason Solomons and Naomi Gryn \nA poignant\, tender drama about a grumpy old man in a Leeds care home and a reluctant Barmitzvah boy — and the unlikely friendship that changes their lives forever. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:UK Jewish Film Festival - Pink Lady / To Fly or Float
DESCRIPTION:This UKJFF event presents two films – a main feature film\, Pink Lady and a short film\, To Fly or Float . \nNOTE – Tickets to be booked from UKJFF box office: www.ukjewishfilm.org \n \nPink Lady\nDrama | Dir. Nir Bergman | 104 mins |  Israel\, Italy\, 2024 | Hebrew with English subtitles \nSet in Jerusalem’s strictly Orthodox community\, this story centres on the marriage of a Haredi couple\, Bati (Nur Fibak — Israeli Film Academy Best Actress nominee for Ahed’s Knee)\, and her husband\, Lazer (Uri Blufarb\, The Stronghold). When Bati discovers that Lazer is being blackmailed with photographs of him with another man\, the couple navigates the community’s attempts to “cure” Lazer of his homosexuality with religious conversion therapy. Seen primarily from Bati’s point of view\, as she attempts to save their marriage despite the ostracisation that she and her family experience\, this film is utterly fascinating as we are drawn into the lives of the central characters. Pink Lady premiered in competition at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival where it won the Best Director prize for its multiple-award-winning Israeli Director\, Nir Bergman. \n \nTo Fly or Float\nDrama | Dir. Charlotte Peters | 15 mins | UK\, 2025 |\nWritten by and produced by Olivia Maiden\n\nBirmingham\, 1979. An orphaned girl and her estranged uncle try to navigate their grief\, connecting through faith\, and the creation of a kite. \n  \n  \n  \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Yiddish Food Culture: And What About the Taste?
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in Lithuania and Israel before finally settling in England\, where I have lived for more than 30 years\, I ended up with a huge collection of recipes on scraps of paper in five different languages. Many of the dishes I cook today I learnt from my mother and mother-in-law at a time when recipes were transmitted by word of mouth. I have always been passionate about food and cooking\, so in 2022 I wrote a book ‘And What About the Taste?’ to preserve and pass on this Jewish food heritage to my family. It is a domestic cookbook filled with recipes that reflect the seasons\, the religious calendar\, and Yiddish culture. In honouring the Jewish belief that food is a sacred focus of family life\, the book is full of anecdotes about the people and places associated with the dishes. In this talk I will share many of these stories and recipes and hopefully encourage others to participate with their own memories from home. \n \nDr Sima Beeri was born in Lithuania\, where Yiddish was her first language. As a teenager\, she moved to Israel and eventually settled in London. Sima has a PhD from University College London (UCL) where she taught Yiddish culture and language. She recently retired from university but still teaches privately and at Ot Azoy\, a Yiddish summer school in London. Sima has published two books and is working on her third. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Last Musician of Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:Last Musician of Auschwitz \nUK 2025\, 90 mins\, English \nDirector Toby Trackman\, featuring Anita Lasker-Wallfisch \nHow can there be music in the worst place in the world? Told through the words of victims of the camp who played and created music during the terrors of the Holocaust\, this film shows how music could be a lifeline\, a way to give testimony and even a way to resist. Woven throughout are new interpretations of musical works written by victims of the camp\, mainly filmed at resonant locations in the environs of Auschwitz. Between them\, they touch on themes of loss\, longing and cultural memory\, and address head on the barbaric and murderous regime at Auschwitz.  Toby Trackman’s landmark theatrical feature documentary The Last Musician of Auschwitz was a centrepiece of the BBC’s commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp and is currently touring the worldwide festival circuit. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:The Jewish Christian relationship: parent and child or siblings?
DESCRIPTION:  \nT \nThe Jewish Christian relationship: parent and child or siblings? \nCanon Guy Wilkinson CBE • Bristol \nWhilst the Church of England from 1942 with the formation of the Council of Christians and Jews has issued numerous statements condemning antisemitism\, it was not until 2019 that the C of E’s Faith and Order Commission published its formal guidance on how the C of E’s relationship with Judaism should theologically and practically be understood. ‘God’s Unfailing Word’ states that it should be understood from the perspective that ‘the Christian–Jewish relationship is a gift of God to the Church.’ I will look at the ‘Difficult history’ and the ‘Distinctive relationship’ which it considers. It should be emphasised that although there is an afterword by Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis\, this is not a joint document\, but one which represents the current view of the Church of England. \n \nGuy Wilkinson has worked on aid programmes in Africa\, and in the European Commission in Brussels. He then attended theological college\, was ordained as a priest in the Church of England in 1987 and served in several parishes before becoming Archdeacon of Bradford. He served as the Archbishop of Canterbury’s and C of E’s Inter Religious Affairs Adviser before serving as Inter Faith Adviser to the bishop of Salisbury and now to the bishop of Bristol. He is married to Tessa and they have five children. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)
