It's Happening In Miami

Every February, Jewish communities worldwide join to advocate for inclusion of people with disabilities and mental health conditions to be accepted and included in all aspects of Jewish life like anyone else. Please join us this Shabbat, February 16 at 10:45 am, for a very special presentation from Mr. Alan T. Brown. Please bring your family and friends as we make a special welcome to all people with disabilities.

Beit David Highland Lakes Shul 2600 NE 209th Street Miami, FL. 33180

Alan T. Brown was injured in 1988, at the age of 20, when his neck was crushed. The accident left Alan, a hockey player, a quadriplegic. For nearly 31 years since the accident, Alan and his family have, through the Alan T Brown Foundation to Cure Paralysis, provided support, education, and advocacy for the paralysis community. Alan is Director of Public Impact at the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. He also has achieved many personal goals, including completing three New York City Marathons, skydiving, and scuba diving. His proudest accomplishment is becoming a father to his two young sons.

We hope to see you there!

WHAT "THE MAMBONIKS," a new film about the Jewish love of Latin music and dance, will make its world premiere at the Miami Film Festival. Directed by Peabody Award-winning producer Lex Gillespie, the movie was filmed in South Florida and features many local residents in starring roles.

WHEN March 3, 2019, at 3PM

WHERE The Coral Gables Art Cinema, 260 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134, 786.385.9689

TICKETS HERE https://2019.miamifilmfestival.com/films/mamboniks/

ABOUT THE FILM Bagels meet bongos in THE MAMBONIKS, a 90-minute documentary that tells the little-known story of the Jewish love affair with Latin music. Set in New York, Havana, Miami Beach, and the Catskill Mountains, this uplifting film features a lovable, somewhat zany collection of dancers from the 1950s. Now retired yet still dancing in Florida, they share their passion for the mambo, the hot dance from Cuba that became a world-wide sensation. With an infectious soundtrack including Tito Puente, Celia Cruz and mambo king Pérez Prado, this film explores a mostly unexamined aspect of Jewish life and culture.

Tuesday, February 12th 7-9 PM
The Glory Days of the Catskills

The evening will be a celebration of the glory days of the Catskill Mountains.

Written and directed by Peter Davis. Starring Joseph Wiseman.
Following, a short film on the upcoming Catskill Resort Museum will be shown by it’s director Jack Godfrey. The Catskill Resort Museum will enlighten visitors of all ages and they will be educated about the unique history of the Catskill resort region. The legendary comedians who performed during the glory days of the Catskill resort era will be enshrined in a Comedy Hall of Fame. Many of these comedians and entertainers went on to star in stage, screen and television. The core exhibition will include photographs, videos, film documentaries, music, oral history and numerous artifacts. The principle objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the history of the resorts and the contribution to American culture. There are few people around who can tell the real story of those classic Catskill days better than Elaine Grossinger Etess, granddaughter of Selig and Malke Grossinger. Elaine will present the history of Grossinger’s Resort, one of the great hotels of the world in its day.
