This Month at the JCC

This November, the Toronto Holocaust Museum leads a series of poignant programs that honour memory and spark meaningful conversation. From the opening of Neuberger Holocaust Education Week with The Many Lives of Anne Frank (if possible in italics if not, no worries) to the Kristallnacht commemoration and a book talk exploring the untold stories of Jewish Canadian soldiers, each gathering deepens our connection to history. Through music, film, dialogue, and remembrance, we come together to reflect, remember, and engage across generations.
Explore all 8 impactful events happening this month.

**November 23 **
Explore how tattoos are evolving as expressions of remembrance, identity, and resilience within the Jewish community. Through two compelling short films, a panel discussion, and guided reflection circles, this program invites descendants of Holocaust survivors—and all those interested in the language of memory—to examine how personal stories and family histories are carried on the body and in the heart. The afternoon concludes with dedicated sharing sessions, creating space for connection, healing, and thoughtful conversation.

Beth Tzedec Congregation, in partnership with Allies for a Strong Canada, is proud to present a powerful behind-the-scenes conversation about The Road Between Us—winner of the People’s Choice Award for Best Documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Taking place Sunday, November 30 at 4:00 PM at Meridian Arts Centre, this special evening will include an optional film screening at 2:00 PM for those who have not yet seen it.

This is an incredible opportunity to hear from Noam Tibon, the heroic father at the centre of the story, director Barry Avrich, and producer Mark Selby. Moderated by journalist Steve Paikin, the conversation will include insights into the making of the film, the events it captures, and the controversy that surrounded its screening at TIFF.
