SAVE THE DATE: August 12, Soviet Yiddish Writers Commemoration
| |
VOICES FROM THE SILENCE:
CELEBRATING YIDDISH CREATIVITY IN THE (FORMER) SOVIET UNION
AUGUST 12, 2012
Special screening of the rarely seen silent film masterpiece,
"Jewish Luck" ("Yidishe Glik")
Starring the great Shloyme Mikhoels
Based on the Sholem Aleichem classic satire, "Adventures of Menachem Mendl".
With text by Isaak Babel. Directed by the famous Russian film directorAlexander Granovsky. (90 min., with English translation)
Final details TBA soon!
Organized by CIYCL, Workmen's Circle, Yiddishkayt LA and co-sponsored by several local Jewish organizations, this program commemorates the 60th anniversary of the murder by the USSR of 13 foremost Yiddish writers and intellectuals (August 1952). This amazing film not only features the work of the most popular Yiddish author of that time and today (Sholem Aleichem), but also manages to poke fun at shadkhns (matchmakers), insurance salesmen, Czarist Russia, and capitalism, while showing some remarkable images of Moscow and shtetl life, and dream imagery you will never forget.
Admission: Free

Get Yours Now! Sale of Cemetery Plots!!

Limited Time Offer!
Sale of Cemetery Plots to Arbeter Ring Members!
To our members (and prospective members):
One of the historic benefits Arbeter Ring has always offered to our members is reasonably-priced cemetery plots. We have several remaining plots in the beautiful Mount Shalom South section at Eden Memorial Park which we are offering to our members at well below market rate. This section is sold out, but if plots were available there or in comparable sections, they would go for upwards of $9000 each. We are offering these plots to our members at the very attractive price of $6500, but only until Rosh Hashone this fall, or as long as they last. At that point, if we have any left, we will open up sales to the general public, and we are confident they will sell quickly. This will be your last opportunity to purchase plots from us, because we do not expect to ever make this benefit available again in Southern California. Please contact our office at 310.552.2007 for further details.
