SUMMARY:Israeli Movie Night: A Letter to David
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Tom Shoval crafts a personal cinematic letter to David Cunio\, who was abducted from Nir Oz to Gaza on October 7th and was released after 738 days in captivity. Ten years ago\, David and his twin brother Eitan starred in Shoval’s award-winning debut feature film Youth (Berlinale 2013)\, which focused on the powerful bond between brothers and\, in a tragic and unimaginable twist of fate\, revolved around a kidnapping. Through unedited behind-the-scenes footage and audition tapes from Youth\, Shoval builds a multi-layered documentary that explores the inexplicable connections between life and cinema\, memory and reality\, and the catastrophic consequences of war. When first presented at the 2025 Berlinale as a “film without an ending\,” Shoval pledged not to consider the work finished until David was home. This updated film\, A Letter to David—The Complete Version\, screened during the 2026 Berlinale\, concludes with a moving new epilogue featuring David\, Ariel\, and the entire Cunio family in the ending we all dared to hope for.

SUMMARY:The Tween Shift: Stepping Back Without Stepping Away
DESCRIPTION:The tween years mark one of life’s most significant developmental transitions. As children enter adolescence\, they gain greater autonomy\, peer influence becomes more powerful\, and access to social media expands\, fundamentally shifting the parent-child dynamic. During this time\, many parents discover that familiar approaches no longer work and feel increasing pressure to stay involved while supporting their child’s growing independence. Navigating this transition successfully requires a new approach to parenting.

SUMMARY:From Alliance to Friendship: Blacks\, Jews and Pluralistic Peoplehood
DESCRIPTION:The Fifth Annual Distinguished Lecture in Judaic Studies at George Mason University. Dr. David Weinfeld of Rowan University will be giving a talk that traces the history of two figures\, Jewish immigrant Horace Kallen and Black philosopher Alain Locke\, whose conversations helped shape the idea of cultural pluralism—the precursor to modern multiculturalism. Drawing on their story\, Dr. Weinfeld offers a new framework for imagining Black-Jewish relations\, one focused on friendship rather than alliance.   \nThe lecture will be followed by a conversation between the guest lecturer and Dr. LaNitra Berger\, Associate Professor of History and Art History and Director of African and African American Studies at George Mason University and Board President of the Pozez JCC. \nCo-sponsored by GMU Judaic Studies\, Mason Hillel\, the Pozez JCC\, the JCRC of Greater Washington\, and GMU African and African American Studies

SUMMARY:Cinema J | We Met at Grossinger's Matinee
DESCRIPTION:The documentary WE MET AT GROSSINGER’S is a joyfully nostalgic journey through the Jewish Catskills—the Borscht Belt—told through the rise and fall of its crown jewel\, Grossinger’s Resort and Hotel (the inspiration for the movie Dirty Dancing).\nIt was an oasis of belonging for generations of Jewish immigrants facing prejudice: a sanctuary of identity and joy. With guests ranging from Jackie Robinson to Eddie Fisher to Eleanor Roosevelt\, it became a place where Jewish Americans and other marginalized communities redefined acceptance and freedom.
