WJFF


18 LISTOPADA W MUZEUM POLIN ODBĘDZIE SIĘ CEREMONIA OTWARCIA 17. WARSZAWSKIEGO FESTIWALU FILMÓW O TEMATYCE ŻYDOWSKIEJ – KAMERA DAWIDA.

Festiwal otworzy polska premiera filmu „Crescendo #makemusicnotwar” w reżyserii izraelskiego twórcy Drora Zahavi (“Alexander Penn”, “Everything for my Father”).

To historia wybitnego dyrygenta (Peter Simonischek), który tworzy palestyńsko-izraelską orkiestrę. Obie grupy utalentowanych muzyków pod wodzą wyemancypowanej Palestynki Layli i przystojnego Żyda Rona darzą się jednak głęboką nieufnością. Czy młodzi ludzie, doświadczeni przez zamachy i okupację, zapomną podczas tygodni prób w górach Tyrolu o wzajemnej nienawiści? Scenariusz filmu inspirowany prawdziwą historią Daniela Barenboima – twórcy West-Eastern Divan Orchestra.

Film wyprodukowała córka laureata Honorowej Kamery Dawida Alice Brauner. Po pokazie odbędzie się spotkanie z twórcami filmu: reżyserem i producentką!

Exclusive Canadian Private School Punishes Students for Antisemitic Behavior

Exclusive Canadian Private School Punishes Students for Antisemitic Behavior

Up to 19 students from an exclusive private school in Vancouver, British Columbia, faced strong disciplinary action — including expulsion — after they were recently discovered making Nazi salutes on campus and mocking the Holocaust on a private online messaging channel, among other racist and antisemitic offenses.

The students attending the $45,000-per-year St. George’s School in the Canadian city were reported to school staff by another student who discovered their antisemitic posts on a direct message group earlier this month.

Samantha Wink — head of communications for the school — told The Algemeiner on Thursday that “a number of boys have been suspended and several have been expelled” because of their actions, which allegedly included making Nazi salutes on school grounds.

One anonymous student at the school who was quoted extensively by Canadian media outlets said that the group of boys come from various cultural backgrounds and had been sharing “mainly antisemitic and anti-black” content for at least the past two years.

St. George’s School immediately launched an internal investigation after the group was discovered.

Sgt. Steve Addison, a spokesman for the Vancouver Police Department, told The Algemeiner that a police investigation was also ongoing. “This file remains open,” Addison said on Thursday.

Canadian Jewish groups praised the swift action taken by the school authorities. “We commend St. George’s for taking this deeply offensive and racist behavior seriously,” Michael Mostyn — CEO of B’nai B’rith Canada, a Jewish advocacy organization — told The Algemeiner.

Mostyn said that the school “absolutely took the right action” in suspending or expelling the students.

“Canada is a country that prides itself on tolerance and diversity and to protect that, we need to uphold a zero tolerance policy on hate, bigotry, and discrimination,” he added.

$3.2 M. DESIGNATED TO SECURE NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS AFTER PITTSBURGH ATTACK

A bout $3.2 million were designated to secure nonpublic schools, including nine Jewish day schools and yeshivas, one year after the deadly synagogue shooting at the Tree of Life congregation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Lawmakers, including Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wold and the state legislature, secured the additional funds and expanded safety opportunities for at-risk schools in the budget for the 2019-2020 school year, according to a press release by Teach PA, a division of Teach Coalition which advocated for quitable government funding for Pennsylvania nonpublic schools.

Pennsylvania was the first state in the US to fund security personnel at nonpublic schools through the Safe Schools Targeted Grant Program.

“We thank Governor Wolf and our state legislators for awarding these funds to nonpublic schools, making our students and educators safe,” said Teach PA Executive Director Arielle Frankston-Morris.

Teach Coalition Director of State Political Affairs Dan Mitzner said, “With continued teamwork, we hope to achieve even more, to keep all Pennsylvania’s schoolchildren and at-risk institutions safe.”

The bill that allowed the funds to be secured was passed in June. Limited funds created a competitive applicant field, meaning that there was a limit to the number of candidates that may receive a grant.

Recipient schools are able to use the funding immediately and apply it to eligible safety expenditures going back to July 2019.

The program was largely advanced after the Tree of Life synagogue was attacked in October 2018 by an active shooter during Shabbat morning services. During the attack, 11 people were killed and seven were injured, making it the deadliest act of antisemitism in US history.
