Miami Jewish Film Festival Screening: "Jerusalem 67"
Posted by Lauren Gold on 09/03/2026 @ 10:17 AM
Tuesday, September 8 | 7:30 PM
From acclaimed Israeli director Oded Raz, Jerusalem ’67 transports audiences to the Six-Day War, where three lives collide as Jerusalem stands on the brink. With the city surrounded and the stakes impossibly high, a civilian woman, a devoted family man, and a young paratrooper commander are swept into a fight that will change their lives — and history — forever. Filmed on location throughout Jerusalem, including the Old City, Western Wall, Mount Zion and Ammunition Hill, the film brings remarkable authenticity to a deeply personal story of courage, sacrifice, love and resilience.

One Act Play: "Anne & Emmet" by Janet Langhart Cohen
Posted by Lauren Gold on 09/03/2026 @ 09:55 AM
Saturday, October 3 & Sunday, October 4 | 7:30 PM
Anne and Emmett is an imagined conversation between Anne Frank and Emmett Till, two teenagers whose lives were tragically cut short by hatred and injustice. In a place called Memory, Anne reflects on her years in hiding during the Holocaust, while Emmett shares his story of racial violence in the American South. Together, they search for understanding, reconciliation and hope.
Written by Janet Langhart Cohen as a call to action against racism and anti-Semitism, this powerful and moving play reminds us not only to remember but to act.

When the World Looked Away, One Man Chose to Act
The 11th Screening the Holocaust Series opens with a special presentation of Honorable Mr. Morgenthau, winner of the Miami Jewish Film Festival 2026 Kadima Jury Prize For this special evening, Director Hilan Warshaw will join in person to introduce the film and take part in an extended conversation with the audience following the screening.
A powerful and timely exploration of bigotry, loyalty and moral courage, Honorable Mr. Morgenthau reveals the untold story of Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., the only Jewish member of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Cabinet, and his courageous effort to confront America’s failure to respond to the plight of European Jews. As evidence of Nazi atrocities mounted, Morgenthau overcame political caution and his own reluctance to speak out, ultimately helping establish the War Refugee Board, which saved tens of thousands of lives.
