There will be a delicious bagel brunch followed by a stimulating documentary film and discussion at the Milton and Betty Katz Jewish Community Center on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 10:30 a.m.

This month's film will be "A Yiddish World Remembered," the story of Jewish life in Eastern Europe brought to life by some of the remaining eyewitnesses. Narrated by Academy Award nominated actor Elliott Gould and accompanied by never-before-seen archival films, vintage photographs, and, of course, traditional klezmer and cantorial music, the documentary takes a realistic and enlightening look at this unique and all-butvanished way of life.

For those in rural communities, there was often no running water or electricity. For many, anti-Semitism was a part of daily life. But for everyone, crowded conditions and poverty seemed to prevail.

Despite these trials, through the eyes of the individuals interviewed, we learn that Jewish communities were close-knit and often even joyous places to live.

This event is free and open to the community. For more information, contact Josh Cutler at 822-1167 ext. 138 or email JCutler@jccatlantic.org.
