נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

"It took Howard Langer two years from his first serious attempt at #writing — 60 pages longhand in pencil — to complete what would become “The Last Dekrepitzer.” It took almost two more years for the 74-year-old to find an agent and #publisher.

“I was 70 and I wanted to #write my whole life, and so I said to myself, ‘You know, if you don’t start now it’s not going to happen.’ So I sat down the next morning and began,” said Langer, a Philadelphia attorney who also teaches at the University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School.

Langer’s debut #novel about a fiddling #Hasidic #rabbi won the 2024 National #Jewish #Book Award and was shortlisted for The Athenaeum of Philadelphia’s 2024 #Literary Award.

“I was stunned when I received the call telling me of the award,” Langer said."

נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

The gunman is a #rabbi, named Moses “Mo” Zaltzman. He and his wife Hindy are raising their kids in a Southwestern small town, where he runs the High Desert #Jewish Center. Clad in a black hat and coat, the normally mild-mannered rabbi has reluctantly taken up firearms lessons to protect himself, his family and his congregation in the wake of a deadly — and allegedly #antisemitic — attack at a gala.

Get ready for a very different kind of #Western with a very catchy title, “Guns & Moses,” from two veteran LA-based #filmmakers, the husband-and-wife team of Salvador and Nina Litvak. Shot in late 2022, it boasts an appearance by the legendary Christopher Lloyd as a Holocaust survivor.

Currently on the festival circuit, the #film has taken on added significance in the post-October 7 world in which Jewish businesses, institutions, and places of worship have been targeted around the globe."

“The decision to not invite #Rabbi Jun-Ballaban was not based on his #Jewish identity, but rather on a fundamental divergence in values,” Smith wrote. “Our event is rooted in a commitment to challenging #whitesupremacy, #ethniccleansing, and the ongoing harm against marginalized communities.”

Previously, according to private messages between Jun and Smith that Jun shared, his plan was to speak about the threat of white supremacy, which Smith said “would be perfect.”

Jun had even told his congregants that to “counter #Nazism,” they would need to show up in spaces where they may feel uncomfortable. Since his dismissal by organizers, he said he feels differently."
