Commemorate the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising with a free film screening and talk about it with Rabbi Ariann of Bnai Keshet.

“Ida” is an Oscar-winning film about a Polish novice who must learn the truth about her family's fate in World War II before deciding whether or not to take vows as a nun.

“Riveting, original and breathtakingly accomplished on every level, "Ida" [is] a masterpiece" —Roger Ebert

"Ida." Poland. 2013. PG-13. 1h 22m. In Polish with English subtitles. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. 

Watch the trailer

Rabbi Ariann Weitzman is an Associate Rabbi and the Director of Congregational Learning at Bnai Keshet Reconstructionist Synagogue. She is a Jewish educator committed to innovative approaches to Jewish teaching and learning.

Yom HaShoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The idea is to document Jewish resistance to the Nazis in World War II, how they retained their human dignity in the most unbearable conditions, and how they fought the Nazis in the ghettos and joined underground partisans who battled the Third Reich in occupied countries.
