The Longing: The Forgotten Jews of South America (2007)
Thursday, July 8, 7:30 - 9:00 p.m.
Directed by Gabriela Böhm
Not Rated – 87 Minutes, Color, in English & Spanish with English subtitles
A handful of South Americans are eager to affirm their Jewish faith. Their ancestors —Spanish Jews — were forced to convert during the Inquisition. Even after centuries of living in the New World as Catholics and intermarrying, their families still managed to secretly pass down some Jewish traditions from one generation to the next. These practices convince them that they were originally Jews and fuel their desire to convert.
Set in Ecuador, this award winning documentary recounts the true story of scattered ”conversos" attempting to regain their birthright. Using the Internet, they individually located an American rabbi from Kansas City committed to helping "lost Jews" throughout the world reclaim their identities. For two years they studied online, following the rabbi's conversion course. Now they come together for the first time to meet the rabbi in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Upon arriving, he finds the local Jewish community, comprised almost entirely of central European, orthodox emigrants, uncooperative at best. The only congregation in the city is suspicious of the conversos’ claim to Jewish roots, even locking the Temple doors against these outsiders. Ultimately, the rabbi is able to convince several resident Jews to reluctantly participate in a beit din and the conversions take place.
The new converts’ are joyful but face an uncertain future. Once again, they are dispersed and isolated in Catholic towns where they receive little support from established Jewish communities, which question the religious authenticity of the rabbi's conversions.
Peter Wengert will lead the discussion. Suggested Donation is $7 ($5 for TJC members)
"Examines the matter of descendants of South American crypto-Jews and the problems they face in attempting to return to the Jewish faith. Recommended"

All are welcome to participate in the TJC's "Book Group: Other Worlds.” The group plans to meet monthly, with the first meeting on June 6th, to discuss books of interest to participants. The group will usually meet the first Sunday of the month, 2-4pm. July 11th is an exception due to scheduling conflicts. The focus for the first six months will be the writings relating to the Mideast. Please join us at our first meeting which will be held on Sunday June 6th--we will be discussing "People of the Book". Suggestions for further selections for the group are welcomed. "The Woman Who Named God", "My Father's Paradise", and "The Saffron Kitchen" are a few books that we will be considering for upcoming months. Call Wally for more information, 758-0473.

Family Picnic at Rio Grande, Pilar. 11-5pm
This year we are planning the TJC Community Picnic event at the Rio Bravo campground--we have reserved the group shelter there for this purpose. Please join us at your convenience on Sunday July 18 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, bringing your favorite dish to share. The TJC will provide paper plates, bowls, cups, napkins & plastic ware, as well as two large "Igloo" containers with ice tea and homemade lemonade. Wine and beer are permitted for those so inclined. A few lawn chairs would add comfort for some of us. Games and "horsehoes" will be available.
We are planning a small treasure hunt for the children, and are hoping that everyone will join in with some form of entertainment throughout our stay at the river. Do you have a special talent to share? Of course you do! So get ready to share it at this event. Music, poetry, jokes, story telling are all great contributions. But, we also encourage those little known talents you may possess--Can you tie extraordinary knots? Speak a foreign language? Walk on your hands? Say "she sells sea shells on the seashore?". Anything goes! The multi-age talent show will take place at 2 pm sharp. Be there, or forever wish you had been!
Now for what you can expect at the site:
-10 picnic tables & benches within the shelter
-1 grill & fireplace in the shelter; 3 grills & 1 fireplace on the outside edge of the shelter
-one electrical outlet (close to one of the picnic tables)
-one water pump close to the shelter (well wager, drinkable)
-numerous garbage cans, including one for glass and one for aluminum!
-plenty of parking
-H/C parking, ramps & H/C bathroom facilities (with showers)
-one small grassy area, by the shelter, underneath a large shade tree with a low wall on one side (excellent for parents with young children)
-easy/safe kayak or inner tube access to the river
-willows between group shelter and river, providing safety for young children, as well as private places for those who would enjoy that (places are available both downstream & upstream from the site)
-bike riding for young children also a possibility with the proper oversight/boundaries set by parents
As you might guess by now, we are hoping for a multi-age turnout for this event! Participants of the many groups of the TJC--the Hebrew Class, Chesed Project, Board of Directors, the Sunday School, the Minyan, Current Affairs, the Kabbalah/Chanting Class & the Book Group: Other Worlds (newly forming)—are especially encouraged to attend.
This event will offer a delightful opportunity for us all to enjoy each other's company surrounded by a spectacular natural setting!
