She teaches and lectures in the Core Curriculum, and has also taught in the CAS Writing Program. She recently published A History of German Jewish Bible Translation (University of Chicago Press, 2018). This book takes as its starting point the remarkable number of re-translations of the Hebrew Bible produced in Germany—translations into German and Yiddish—from the Haskalah through the twentieth century.  The book demonstrates that bible translation in Jewish society was (and still is) used to promote diverse educational, cultural, and linguistic goals. She is currently writing about the parable/mashal across Jewish Literature, and about “monstrous motherhood” in recent Israeli (and Jewish) film and memoirs.

“Film is an art, a starting point to conversation,” says Cindy Stern, executive director of the Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema (CFIC). The film festival showcases current events, and trends in Israel. It creates connection to Israel providing entry points to understanding its complex culture. Cindy has worked with the CFIC since 2010. She previously worked for an award-winning adverting agency. There she served as the creative director, writer and broadcast producer. Cindy was born in Hollywood and has lived in Colorado, Germany, Israel. She made Chicago her home 34 years ago. She attended the University of California in Berkeley, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Cindy has a bachelor's degree journalism. She earned a master's degree in nonprofit management from Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership. The CFIC was started by Beverly Braverman and Ophira Ben-Ariah in 2005. The festival presents a mix of features including documentaries, shorts and TV series. All works are made in Israel. Their mission is to spread a love and appreciation of contemporary Israeli culture through the magic of film. Cindy explains that Israeli film makers work with small budgets. The industry relies on creating strong character development. This makes the works relatable and universal. By depicting deep aspects of the characters, the works show humanity. The CFIC is a strong player in theaters throughout the Chicago area every fall. This year Cindy orchestrated a large pivot in light of the pandemic. She decided to move the festival to a virtual platform in May and June. This came at a perfect time. The movie theaters were still closed to in-person views. People felt alone and many had run through their list of Netflix shows. The virtual festival was a success! It reached people in twenty-two states. It provided a wide variety of genres. There was something for everyone. Viewers had the opportunity to connect virtually for online discussion groups. This pivot helped create connections in the Jewish community when physical connection wasn't possible.  After my conversation with Cindy, I am greatly looking forward to the next Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema. I hope you will take advantage of viewing the films that are featured next year. Takeaways from episode:1.    Showcase (acknowledge and appreciate) Partnerships2.    Create relationships- Take time to create relationships by showing up and creating a space of mutual support3.    Partner with other organizations, not always for financial support4.    Be inclusive and diverse - all genres, no barriers to entry, shows Israel from all sides5.    Listen actively6.    Ask people to be open mindedLearn more about the Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema at:  https://israelifilmchi.org Follow Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema on Facebook and Instagram.Contact Cindy Stern at cstern218@comcast.net.Support the show (https://www.bridges613.org/donate)

Dr. Rachel Harris, professor of Israeli literature and culture at the University of Urbana Champaign, discusses her new book Warrior, Witches, Whores: Women in Israeli Cinema. How do the evolving representations of women relate to broader changes in Israeli society and culture? This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel. Tel Aviv Review is also supported by the Public Discourse Grant from the Israel Institute, which is dedicated to strengthening the field of Israel Studies in order to promote knowledge and enhance understanding of modern Israel.

  Presenting Princess Shaw (2015) Samantha Montgomery (Princess Shaw) is a talented singer/songwriter and kind soul whose personality gleams throughout Ido Haar's 2015 documentary (the film we reviewed in lieu of Hester Street because it recently played at the Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema). The film chronicles Montgomery's day-to-day existence in New Orleans and Atlanta, as well her long-distance collaborations with Kutiman, the Israeli visual artist and musician, which eventually lead her to international travel and fame. Listen to Shoshanah and I gush over Montgomery, talk about her YouTube channel, and discuss whether Kutiman is an opportunist, a sensitive artist, or the victim of Haar's artistic choices as a director.   Next Time and Thank You As promised, we'll move onto Hester Street (1975) (IMDb link), directed by Joan Micklin Silver. This is yet another reputed "Jewish classic," though I hear good things (shout out to Mitchell Brown over at The Discreet Bourgeois). Thank you again to the Klezmer Rebs who continue to graciously let us use their music as our theme song.  Their website is located here, and their bandcamp site is here. Listen to them!  Aaron  

The Frisco Kid (1979) After a long summer hiatus, we review this Jewish-American "classic," directed by Robert Aldrich, and starring Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford in an adventure across The Wild West.  It's a road movie, a buddy movie, and a rabbi movie.  And, at least in some circles, it has a reputation for being an excellent movie. We try to puzzle out why The Frisco Kid is so beloved. Is it the slapstick comedy? The charm of two charismatic actors? The story's emphasis on the value of human life? Or is it that somehow, after watching the movie, we know that everything is going to be OK?   Next Time and Thank You We aim to have the next episode out by the end of November or early December.  The Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema is in full swing right now, and in honor of that, we're going to review Presenting Princess Shaw (2015) (IMDb link) by Ido Haar (it's playing at the festival).  Then, in the following month, we'll move onto Hester Street (1975) (IMDb link) by Joan Micklin Silver (as we planned to before realizing the festival would be in town).  Thank you as always to the Klezmer Rebs who continue to graciously let us use their music as our theme song.  Their website is located here and this is their bandcamp site.  Check them out!
