On May 22 of this year, an all-star group of klezmer musicians and Jewish singers met at Beth El Synagogue Center in New Rochelle, NY under the auspices of Shoresh Halev Center for Jewish Music at Beth El to record 8 new compositions by klezmer giant Frank London. These brilliant new songs are meant to be sung while dancing hakafot on Simchat Torah. The recording session was held on the eve of Frank’s treatment for a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer and what ensued was a beautiful evening of spiritual uplift and close loving Jewish community.

MARROW REGISTRY Efraim Nabatoff is a 63-year-old, highly talented fine artist and sculptor battling a life-threatening blood cancer called Myelofibrosis. His best hope of a cure is a blood stem cell or marrow transplant. However, he does not currently have a match in his family or the worldwide marrow registry. Because tissue type factors needed for a match are inherited, Efraim’s best chance of finding a donor are among those of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish ancestry, and specifically with a genetic heritage from Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, France, Russia and Israel. You could be Efraim's life-saving hero without even knowing it! All if takes is a swab of your cheek to find out if you are a match for him or another patient in need.

WE WILL DANCE AGAIN by Israeli film director Yariv Mozer (Ben-Gurion, Epilogue, The Devil's Confession—The Lost Eichmann Tapes, Golda's War Diaries). The film provides a powerful minute-by-minute retelling of the terror attack that took place at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th, 2023, from the sole perspective of the survivors. It gives testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of tragedy. We are incredibly fortunate to have our film screened in select theaters across the US and wanted to invite you to experience this profoundly moving story of hope and resilience in a theater in Yonkers, NYC, and other local theaters. In order to check where the film is playing and to get tickets, please click here.
