LOS ANGELES CALENDAR OF EVENTS


LIVE AND BECOME DVD

After the success of our event “The Story of Ethiopian Jewry” on Feb. 9th we were flooded by warm letters expressing how moved people were by the evening. We also have requests for copies of the award winning film “Live and Become”. Menemsha Films were so impressed by the evening that they have donated a limited quantity of DVD’s of the movie to AMIT. We are proud to be able to make these available. Please support AMIT and purchase a copy of this epic film for only $29.99.

Here is a description of the film:
The magnificent, epic story of an Ethiopian boy who is airlifted from a Sudanese refugee camp to Israel in 1984 during Operation Moses. Shlomo is plagued by two big secrets: He is neither a Jew nor an orphan, just an African boy who survived and wants, somehow, to fulfill his Ethiopian mother’s parting request that he “go, live, and become.” Buoyed by a profound and unfaltering motherly love – both in his memory and in the arms of his adoptive mother – he ultimately finds an identity and a happiness all his own. Live and Become” exerts a tidal pull. It makes you feel the weight of history, of populations on the move in a restless multicultural world. It makes you reconsider cultural assimilation, a process that may seem to be complete but whose underlying conflicts may never be fully resolved. Live and Become deals boldly, yet sensitively, with issues crucial to our times.

Talia Gill’s Marvelous Mishloach Manot

AMIT LA would like to thank Talia and the 6th grade class at Maimonides. The class made 100 Mishloach Manot Baskets, ate pizza and enjoyed their Saturday evening. Talia raised over $2000 for her batmitzvah twin Mae Asulin in the Beit Hayeled Youth Village in Gilo. Talia’s baskets were in such high demand that they sold out within a week! Thank you so much to Larry & Andrea Gill for their support and hosting the girls.


Ayelet Topp’s Chanukah Bake Sale

AMIT LA would like to thank Ayelet Topp and her class. Ayelet who is part of the AMIT Mitzvah Twinning Program, showed leadership and initiative when she hosted a Chanukah Bake Sale to raise funds for AMIT kids in Southern Israel. The bake sale raised over $1200. We are proud of Ayelet. Thanks also to Jordana Topp and the Topp family for facilitating the bake sale.
