Divine Food: 100 Years in the Kosher Delicatessen Trade

Making mouth-watering delicacies that are good for your tastebuds and your soul has been the business of the Oscherwitz family for more than a century. Taking a tasty look at their meats, the hunger-inducing documentary shares Issac Oscherwitz's rise from immigrant butcher to patriarch of a kosher food mega-corporation.

Time of Favor

Winner of five Israeli Academy Awards, Oscar-nominated director Joseph Cedar’s first feature film plays out a psychologically complex love triangle in the middle of terrorist conflict in Israel's West Bank, creating what the New York Times calls an art house thriller.

La Ghriba

They call their community "miraculous" – an isollated island where Jewish identity is forged by a shared sense of equality, rather than one of persecution. An engaging look at this 2,500-year-old Jewish community reveals the distinctions that have made the Tunisian island of Jerba so unique.

Casseroles for SOME, the homeless shelter in DC

Our databanks are overloaded, and so are our brains – and sometimes we forget.

That way we can accumulate a list and send out reminders every month. (original idea from Ms. Deedy)

Thanks,
