In 1937 Hungarian Jewish architecture student Andras Levi left Budapest for Paris,
with a scholarship, a suitcase and a mysterious letter he promised to deliver to
K. Morgenstern. With the rise of anti-Semitism Andras lost his scholarship and
was forced to return to Budapest and into a labour camp. The Invisible Bridge tells
the story of a family torn apart and remade during one of history’s darkest periods.

CANADIAN SYNAGOGUE ART PRIOR TO WORLD WAR II
Barbara Weiser, MA
FINE 352
Painting on synagogue walls was a European tradition which lasted one more generation in
Canada. Remnant examples exist in both Canada and United States as part of a lost art form. The
origins, themes and cultural significance along with the adaptations that took place 'across the
pond' will be the basis of the discussion. Barbara Weiser has a Masters in Jewish Studies from
Concordia University. She is currently conducting a study of Canadian Jewish Ritual Art.

Rabbi Leigh Lerner will animate the evening.
Can one be a Catholic priest and an observant Jew at the same time? 12 years after he was ordained as a
Polish Catholic priest, Romuald Waszkinel discovered that he was born to Jewish parents, and that his
name was Jacob Weksler. Torn follows his amazing journey from conducting mass in a church in Poland to
life as an observant Jew on a religious kibbutz in Israel. Romuald is torn between two identities, between
being Romuald Waszkinel and Jacob Weksler. He is unable to renounce either, and is therefore rejected by
both religions and the State of Israel. He is required to choose. Note: This film will begin at 7:30 p.m.
FLUCHKES
MOVIE 314
June 13
Fluchkes (Yiddish for flabby arms) follows the creative process of the dance performance, "Gila". A group
of colorful and energetic 72 to 82 year old women bravely confront the hardships and demands of the art
of dance. At the same time, these honest and candid women openly share their personal experiences and
feelings on aging. Each one of them presents a unique perspective on the aging process. The film followed
the group through a year of rehearsals, moments of hardship, failure and great success. Finally, in front of
an approving audience, a truly professionally artistic performance is born.

FILM
From the darkness of Hitler's Europe to the Catskill mountains, Four Seasons Lodge
follows a community of Holocaust survivors who come together each summer to
dance, cook, fight and flirt and celebrate their survival. Haunted by the past but driven
by an unquenchable passion for living, the group gathers each summer at an idyllic
hideaway.Four Seasons Lodge is an inspiring and surprisingly funny documentary that
captures what may be the final season for a remarkable band of survivors who have
found that dancing, laughter and late-night revelry may be the best revenge.

Music Appreciation Series with Robert Markow
Five lectures that will enhance your appreciation of classical music
Wednesdays, 1 – 3 p.m.
$15 per lecture
April 25
AFTERNOON IN VIENNA
MART 315
Vienna – city of ebullient spirits, infectious gaiety, bubbling champagne, elegant ballrooms and
beautiful music – waltzes, polkas, marches, galops, operettas and more. Join Robert Markow for an
afternoon of Vienna’s best music in a lighter vein – a cornucopia of works by Johann Strauss (the
‘Waltz King’), Franz Lehar, Josef Lanner and others.
May 9
THE BEST OF BACH
MART 316
MUSIC
Johann Sebastian Bach is so immediate in his musical expressiveness, so universal in his message,
so accessible to us all, that it is fairly safe to say there is something in Bach for everyone. Who among
us does not feel transported into another dimension when the first thrilling notes of the Toccata and
Fugue in D Minor are sounded or does not feel swept into an exhilarating world of gaiety and
exuberance with the Second Brandenburg Concerto? Spend 2 hours in Bach’s presence listening to
his wonderful music with commentary by Robert Markow.
May 16
OPERATIC VILLAINS
MART 317
There are operatic characters we just love to hate – those utterly despicable men and women who
bring tragedy and misery to good people: Scarpia in Puccini’s Tosca, Iago in Verdi’s Otello, Pizarro in
Beethoven’s Fidelio, Pinkerton in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly and the Duke in Verdi’s Rigoletto, among
others. Listen to a selection of these evil characters singing and choose which one you hate the most!
June 6
MUSIC FOR THE MOVIES
MART 318
Even in the era of the “silent” films there was music to accompany action on the screen usually
provided by a talented pianist playing improv. Nowadays “movie music” is an art form in itself. Many
of the twentieth century’s greatest composers wrote film scores, including Aaron Copland, Dmitri
Shostakovich, Serge Prokofiev, Leonard Bernstein and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Listen to and watch
examples of their work, along with those of legendary Hollywood composers like Miklos Rozsa,
Wolfgang Korngold and John Williams
June 13
MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD
MART 319
Travel around the world on a most unusual musical journey to the sound of music from such exotic
places as India, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and Australia, along with some more familiar places like
Finland, Norway, Greece and Argentina. Examples of these countries’ traditional music and of music
in the western classical style will turn up on this musical adventure.
Robert Markow’s musical career began as a horn player with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (MSO). He
has taught music appreciation at McGill University and has written program notes for the MSO, the National
Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa as well as for events at New York’s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.

modernized and became secularized. This has not happened and there is the
increased potential for religious resurgence and conflict around the world. Explore

THE HARE WITH THE AMBER EYES
Thursday
TEMP 320
These lectures will illuminate the fascinating story of the Ephrussi family, as rich
and respected as the Rothschilds who, in 19th century Paris and Vienna, were in
possession of a vast empire. By the end of World War II the family had nothing but
264 netsuke, matchbook sized Japanese wood and ivory carvings which were
saved by a loyal family maid. For those who have read The Hare with the Amber
Eyes it will offer added appreciation of this remarkable family and a terrifying
period of history. For those who have not, it will open a new window on the history
of this Jewish family and their harrowing journey from privilege to the Anschluss.

THE INFIDEL
Meet Mahmud; loving husband, doting father
and something of a relaxed Muslim. Maybe
he does enjoy the odd sip of alcohol every
now and then and perhaps he doesn’t pray
five times each and every day or fast for all
of Ramadan but in his heart he is as Muslim
as it gets. After his mother’s death, a discovery
turns Mahmud’s world completely upside down.
Among her documents, Mahmud finds his birth
certificate which reveals that not only was he adopted
at birth but he’s Jewish, and his real name is Solly
Shimshillewitz! As Mahmud tumbles headlong into
a full tilt identity crisis, the only person he can turn
to is Lenny, a local Jewish cab driver who agrees to
give him lessons in Jewishness which start with how to
dance like Topol and how to speak like a Jew. Oy vey.
