Movie at the JCC: Reckonings – The First Reparations
Join the JCC as we honor Holocaust Remembrance Day. In Reckonings, the Award-winning filmmaker Roberta Grossman reveals the untold story of the intense negotiations between Jewish and German leaders that led to the 1952 Luxembourg Agreement. Charged with negotiating reparations for the largest mass genocide in history at a time when Holocaust survivors urgently needed help, they met in a hidden castle near The Hague under the constant threat of violence. Grossman’s riveting documentary brings to life the fraught meetings that led to the official acknowledgement of the genocide and the proposal seen as the first step towards healing. (1 hr 14 min)

92nd Y at the JCC: The State of the World Jewry Address with Bret Stephens and 92NY’s Rabbi David Ingber
Bret Stephens offers a compelling look at the state of world Jewry today examining the challenges, changes, and opportunities shaping Jewish communities across the globe. Jews around the world are continuing to navigate a world where choices and perspective matter — confronting rising challenges while also experiencing powerful moments of renewal, creativity, and resilience. How are communities responding to antisemitism and political polarization? What new forms of Jewish expression, identity, and connection are emerging? And where might we find opportunities for growth and strength in the years ahead? Join us for an evening of insight and reflection on what it means to be Jewish in a rapidly changing world.

In Monte Carlo, our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at Manderley, her husband's cavernous estate on the Cornish coast, that she realizes how vast a shadow his late wife, Rebecca, will cast over their lives' introducing a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their love from beyond the grave. Excellent entertainment...Du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings.--Stephen King One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century, Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream.--Sarah Waters
