In one unflinching shot, "SHTTL" presents a day in the life of a Jewish village before it disappears. This movie screening is part of Richmond Yiddish Week - a new festival inviting Richmonders of all backgrounds to explore Yiddishkayt (Yiddish culture) through cultural offerings around the city.
Join us for lunch to learn about the enigmatic texts known as Iggeret sippurim (Epistle of Stories) that appeared on a long-lost medieval kabbalistic iconotext called "The Great Parchment" featuring J.H. (Yossi) Chajes.
Join us on Thursday, Feb 19 for the Lyons Lecture in Judaic Studies. We'll hear from Rabbi Shai Held, president and dean at the Hadar Institute. Held has been named multiple times by Newsweek as one of the fifty most influential rabbis in America.
