Mayim Film Series
The Many Faces of Jews
November 5
Toots
Directed by Kristi Jacobson Wednesday, “Toots” charts with unabashed affection its subject's
rise from Jewish discrimination as a kid in South Philly to magnetic
celebrity and close friend to Jackie Gleason, Frank Sinatra, Joe Dimaggio,
and Frank Gifford. The movie is a snapshot of a particular post-prohibition,
post-WWII period in which looking glamorous and having fun were the prime
objectives. It is a portrait of a self-made man who defined the era.
Facilitator: Rabbi Barry Kenter, Greenburgh Hebrew Center
November 12
My Mexican Shiva
Directed by Alejandro Springall,
produced by John Sayles with a score by the Klezmatics. A
wacky look at Moishe’s life begins with his death and proceeds through
five days of shiva. Not only do we learn tightly held secrets about the
family patriarch, we see his extended family in action with all their glorious
dysfunction. As if that’s not enough, two Hasidic ghosts appear throughout
taking notes to decide whether Moishe goes to the afterlife with the good
angel or the bad one!
Facilitator: Dr. Boris Rubinstein, Rosh Pinah Chauvrah

Yiddish Theater: A Love Story
Directed by Dan Katzir. This documentary
is about Zypora Spaisman, an amazing woman who helped keep the Yiddish
Theater alive in America. She was associated with the Folksbiene and then
started her own company called The Yiddish Public. This is a heartwarming
story of woman’s struggle to keep her heritage
and herself relevant. The film has rare interviews with some of the key
players in the Yiddish Theater world; among them Shifra Lerer, Felix Fibich,
Seymour Rechzeit, Zalmen Mlotek, and scholars Dovid Katz and Nahma Sandrow.
Facilitator:
Rabbi David Holtz, Temple Beth Abraham
