YOUR GUIDE TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING
JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL SID JACOBSON JCC TO HOST ANNUAL EVENT BY G R AC E M CQ UA D E
T
he Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center’s Edward & Bernice Wenger Center for the Arts will present the 26th annual Randi & Bruce Pergament Jewish Film Festival running from June 26 through Aug. 8. The festival will feature six films over the course of the summer, a nice mix of documentaries and dramas from around the world that will be shown in the JCC’s Rubenstein Auditorium. Julie Assael, senior adult program coordinator at the SJJCC, took some time for a phone interview to discuss this year’s festival and what local filmgoers can expect this time around. “We’re excited about our selection of film dramas and documentaries, which is a fabulous lineup,” she said. “They’re in several different foreign languages, including Hebrew, German, Polish and Yiddish, and subtitled in English. That’s really what makes this film festival different and stand out from the others.” Assael is new in her position at the JCC, so she has not had a chance to view the films yet, but she spoke a little bit about the selection process. “The films have been selected by a team that consults with JFFs around the country to find out which recently released films have resonated with their audiences,” she said. “The team is very knowledgeable about films… so they were very carefully selected.” The festival kicks off at 7:30 p.m. June 26 with a few opening words followed by a screening of “Shoelaces” (2018), a 90-minute Israeli drama directed by Jacob Goldswasser that is in
“LACES” Hebrew, with English subtitles. It is about a father who abandons his special needs son at a young age. Years later, when the father’s kidneys begin to fail, his now grown son wishes to donate his kidney and save his father’s life. Assael said every film that is screened at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday evenings is shown again the following Thursday af-
ternoon at 2 p.m. “We serve a lot of older people who like to come, but don’t drive at night so the daytime performances work very well for them,” she added. On Wednesday, July 10, and Thursday, July 11, the film festival will feature “The Cakemaker” (2017), a GermanIsraeli drama about a German baker having an affair with a married Israeli
man who dies in a car crash, leading the baker on a quest to find out more about his dead lover’s wife and son. The film is told in English, Hebrew and German. The JCC will screen “Who Will Write Our History” (2018) on July 17 and July 18. This U.S.-made documentary tells the story of historian Emanuel Ringelblum, who joins a group of journalists, scholars and leaders in the Warsaw ghetto to defeat the Nazis — not with guns or fists, but with pen and paper. The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award winner Adrien Brody. Continued on Page 52

The Head and the Heart at Forest Hills Indie folk band The Head and the Heart will return to Forest Hills Stadium on Sunday, June 23 at 5 p.m., with their fourth full-length album, “Living Mirage,” featuring the new single, “Missed Connection.” Formed in the summer of 2009, the group is comprised of Josiah Johnson (vocals, guitar, percussion), Jonathan Russell (vocals, guitar, percussion), Charity Rose Thielen (violin, guitar, vocals), Chris Zasche (bass), Kenny Hensley (piano), and Tyler Williams (drums). Initially self-released in 2011, The Head and the Heart’s self-titled breakout debut produced instant classics, including “Rivers and Roads,” “Down in the Valley” and “Lost in My Mind,” and is now certified Gold. Their last two albums, 2013’s “Let’s Be Still” and 2016’s “Signs of Light,” settled into Billboard’s top 10 albums chart, with “Signs of Light” securing the No. 1 position on rock album charts. It also produced the single “All We Ever Knew,” which reached No. 1 at Alternative, after holding the No.
1 spot at AAA for nine straight weeks earlier that same year. The Head and the Heart have appeared in Cameron Crowe’s television series “Roadies,” and their music has been featured in commercials and the film “Silver Linings Playbook.” They have played consecutive, sold-out shows at Red Rocks and primetime main stage slots at Coachella, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, with two more sold-out Red Rocks shows in July. The band has performed 13 times on national television, including appearances on “Ellen,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Austin City Limits” and more. The Head and the Heart will be joined in concert by California rock band Young the Giant and indie pop group Fitz and the Tantrums, with a special acoustic performance by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and Smith & Thell. For tickets to the show, go to www.foresthillsstadium.com. Forest Hills Stadium is located at 1 Tennis Place in Forest Hills.
Hernandez at Book Revue on June 21 Keith Hernandez revolutionized the role of first baseman. During his illustrious career with the World Series-winning St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets, he was a perennial fan favorite, earning 11 consecutive Gold Gloves, a National League co-MVP Award, and a batting title. But it was his unique blend of intelligence, humor, and talent — not to mention his unflappable leadership, playful antics, and competitive temperament — that transcended the sport and propelled
him to a level of renown that few other athletes have achieved, including his memorable appearances on the television show “Seinfeld.” Now, with a striking mix of candor and self-reflection, Hernandez takes us along on his journey to baseball immortality in his memoir, “I’m Keith Hernandez,” now available in paperback. Hernandez shares stories of hellacious bus rides and south-of-the-border escapades of his minor league years, as well as his major league benchings, unending plate adjustments, and role in one of the most exciting batting races in history against Pete Rose. From the Little League fields of Northern California to the dusty proving grounds of triple-A ball to the grand stages of Busch Stadium and beyond, “I’m Keith Hernandez”reveals as much about America’s favorite pastime as it does about the man himself. What emerges is an honest and compelling assessment of the game’s past, present, and future — a memoir that showcases one of baseball’s most unique and experienced minds at his very best. Keith Hernandez will be at Book Revue to autograph paperback copies of his book on Friday, June 21, from 4 to 6 p.m. Book Revue is located at 313 New York Ave. in Huntington. For more information about the event, call the store at 631-271-1442 or go to www.bookrevue. com

Angel’s L.I. debut at Celebrating Apollo 11’s 50th anniversary My Father’s Place
Cover art for Rebecca Angel’s 2018 CD What We Had Four quick “s” adjectives come to mind when you first hear Rebecca Angel sing: smooth, soulful, sensual and sultry. Listening to her debut, “What We Had,” tops that off with sexy and unabashedly sentimental as well. The emerging, New York City-based singer makes every emotionally compelling track an invitation — to dream, to love, and to reminisce wistfully about times gone by. Whether she’s singing romantic lyrics or sharing her artful vocalese, Angel’s cool, edgy and exotic vibe recalls classic artists like Sade and Brazilian greats Bebel Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto. Angel weaves her laidback style with old-school soul, funk, electronica and infectious grooves created by renowned jazz and R&B producer Jason Miles, who grounds every mix in the retro sounds of the Fender Rhodes, Vox Continental and Wurlitzer. He brought in some of New York’s finest for the various sessions. Angel’s twist on Hoagy Carmichael’s wistful (and not frequently covered) “Winter Moon” features acoustic bassist James Genus, percussionist Mino Cinelu and soprano saxophonist Hailey Niswanger. The equally nostalgic title track, “What We Had,” a slowly swaying look back at enduring memories of the
joys of a past romance, was penned by Angel and her father, trumpeter Dennis Angel, with additional lyrics by guitarist Jonah Prendergast. In addition to Miles’ keyboards and percussion loops, it features Christian Ver Halen’s crisp guitar licks and the easy rhythm section of Reggie Washington (bass) and Brian Dunne (drums). On the other tracks, Miles leads an ensemble featuring Ver Halen, Dunne, bassist Adam Dorn, and percussionist Cyro Baptista. Special guests include Prendergast, renowned acoustic guitarist Ricardo Silveira and cellist Sebastian Stoger on a playful, spirited cover of the Brazilian gem, “Agora Sim,” featuring Miles’ intoxicating electro-percussion. Dennis Angel and flutist Gottfried Stoger are also featured. The EP includes two versions of the classic “Stand By Me” and “Samba Jazz Happiness (Jet Samba),” the latter of which was a popular radio single for Angel, who released the festive, rhythmic track to coincide with the Rio Olympics in 2016. The song, originally penned and recorded as an instrumental by Brazilian composer Marcos Valle, reached high on the FMQB adult contemporary chart. The EP also includes an “Ipanema Beach” remix, featuring danceable, hyp-
notic and carnivalesque percussion textures. The first version of “Stand By Me” also lends itself to a triphoppy hypnosis via electropercussion behind Angel’s wistful vocals. The second, which closes the set, has a more mainstream vibe, perfect for adult contemporary radio. The Angels co-wrote the set’s other original, “Feel Alive,” a charming declaration of love and how it changes the heart, which breezes along like a brisk stroll on a balmy evening without end. Angel recently graduated with a degree in voice from Ithaca College, where she studied with Roseanna Vitro, Cyrille Aimee, whose version of “Stand By Me” inspired Angel to record it, Carol McAmis, Kim Nazarian and Maya Azucena. Azucena helped Angel take her vocal on “What We Had” to another level. With her unique vocal timbre, Angel could venture into any genre she likes. Music lovers, including those who attend Angel’s upcoming show with Jim Dawson at My Father’s Place on Thursday, Aug. 1 at 8 p.m., will be glad she’s chosen to go the chill samba route. My Father’s Place at the Roslyn Hotel is located at 1221 Old Northern Blvd. For tickets, go to www.myfathersplace.com.
On Saturday, June 29, the Gold Coast Arts Center will host a special event in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 rocket launch that brought three men to the moon for a historic walk on July 20, 1969. Those men were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. The event will include a screening of the Academy Award-winning film “First Man,” starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, followed by a live Q&A with retirees from Northrop Grumman and Grumman who will share their personal stories of working on the Apollo program right here on Long Island. The event will take place at the Reckson Center at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. On Oct. 4, 1957, Sputnik was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union. That launch became the impetus for the educational mandate from President Eisenhower’s administration stating that going forward, educational emphasis should be on a strong science and mathematics curriculum. Why? The U.S. needed to catch up to the Soviets in the Race to
Space, and schoolchildren who could help make that happen needed to be educated, identified and nurtured. It is not a coincidence that the arts and humanities then began to take a back seat in schools around the country. Funding was adjusted to ensure that math and science would attract the best and the brightest and, slowly but surely, the status of the arts and the humanities began to decline in favor of those subjects that would educate the next generation of scientists and mathematicians who would get a man on the moon — a goal set by John F. Kennedy. It is arguable whether we would have gotten a man on the moon that quickly if the weight of presidential and federal power had not made it a top priority. Ironically, many of the engineers and astrophysicists who helped make this happen were educated in schools where art, music, history, dance, theatre, literature, poetry, and so many more of the humanities were a daily feature of their lives from elementary school on. At that time, college core cur-
riculums supported the idea that you had to take classes outside your major concentration so that engineers and mathematicians had to take art, music and the classics. In short, their creativity and ability to problem solve had been nurtured in the arts. With this event, the Gold Coast Arts Center will put one of America’s most significant scientific achievements front and center while also demonstrating the power of the arts to educate, enrich, edify and entertain. They can do this partly because they are recipients of a grant from Science on Screen, an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, intended to help arts organizations like the Gold Coast Arts Center use film to put science in the spotlight. Their hope is that future generations will value the links between the arts and science and appreciate how the full spectrum of human activity can be experienced through the arts.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
JCC’s Jewish Film Festival returns Continued from Page 25 One of the films that Assael is looking forward to watching is another U.S.made documentary, “The Mamboniks” (2015), which tells an interesting piece of New York City history during the racially segregated 1950s. “It has to do with Jewish dancers doing the Mambo from Cuba — that’s how they got their name the Mamboniks,” she said about this film that will be screened on July 24 and July 25. “It’s an interesting story about how the Jewish and Latin cultures come together in the form of dance at a time when they both had a lot of racial segregation and there was a lot of anti-Semitism.” “It’s also very interesting now because a lot of people have recently been able to go to Cuba and many people have been interested in the Cuban culture,” Assael added. “That one in particular has Spanish and English subtitles.” “Across the Waters” (2016) is a 95-minute Danish drama directed by Nicolor Donato, being shown on July 31 and Aug. 1. Based on a true story, the film depicts a Jewish family who barely escape Copenhagen after the Nazis seize control and set off to a remote fishing village in the north of the country where they’ve heard local fishermen are ferrying Jews to Sweden. The film festival concludes on Aug. 7 and Aug. 8 with the Argentinian drama, “The Last Suit,” (2017). “That one is about a tailor who had to sell his house in Buenos Aires. He was a Holocaust survivor, and he sets off on a one-way trip to Poland, where he plans to find the Christian friend who saved him from death at Auschwitz,” Assael said. “It just seems like a fascinating film and another one that I’m very looking forward to seeing.” The JCC’s Jewish Film Festival is made possible with the generous support of its sponsors, including Gold sponsors The Bristal and Marilyn and Barry Ruben-
stein, Silver sponsors Renee and Adam Haber, and the following Bronze sponsors: Bert E. Brodsky, chairman of BEB Capital; Laurel Buchbinder; Jill Dee; Joe Garten; the Jacobson Family Foundation; Janet Kroll; Lisa and Richard Levine; Marvin and Wendy Natiss; the Pelton family; Ellen and Martin Rosenman; the Rosenthal Family Foundation; Cynthia and Michael Rubinberg; Estelle Schlossberg; and Carol and Arnold Wolowitz. “The event helps to support other JCC programs, as well as brings a cultural experience to our audience from Long Island and Queens,” Assael said. “Candy will be sold by members of our Vocational and Employment Center department, which is part of our Special Needs department.” The JCC sponsors many other funfilled events throughout the summer, including their Mah Jong and Canasta clinics, year-round senior programs like the REACH lecture series, their News Behind the News current event discussions, and Knitzvah. “And, of course, our fitness center includes a pool and track that are open in any weather,” Assael said. “Our annual golf and tennis outing, presented by Hiram Cohen and Son, will be held on July 29 at the Glen Oaks Country Club.” The JCC box office is currently open to purchase tickets to the film festival. Film passes for the whole series are $50 for the general public and $40 for members. Individual film tickets are $10 and $8 for members. Filmgoers are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance as screenings will sell out. General seating begins 30 minutes before show times. Note that the films are not rated and some may contain explicit language and violence. For more information about the Randi & Bruce Pergament Jewish Film Festival, go to www.sjjcc.org/filmfestival or call 516-484-1545. The Sid Jacobson JCC is located at 300 Forest Drive in East Hills.

Suozzi joins delegation in Normandy Last week, Congressman Tom Suozzi participated in a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the allied D-Day invasion in Normandy, France. Suozzi and the members of Congress paid tribute and partook in ceremonies with Presidents Trump and Macron to honor those lost during the Battle of Normandy. “This experience was truly sobering and humbling. Seventy-five years later, the sacrifice made on the altar of Normandy must be remembered and revered. These brave souls demand that we earn the sacrifice they made by lifting up our freedom and our democracy and participating in our politics and government in a way that is more noble,” said Suozzi. While in Normandy, Suozzi visited the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer and paid his respects to the 21 soldiers from the 3rd Congressional District who are interred there. Suozzi laid wreaths at the grave of Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of President Theodore Roosevelt, as well as at the graves of 15 soldiers, and at the Tablets of the Missing, which memorializes the five soldiers who are listed as missing in action. At General Roosevelt’s grave, Suozzi held a brief ceremony, said a prayer of thanksgiving, and spread a handful of dirt brought with him from Sagamore Hill, the childhood home of Roosevelt, a Medal of Honor recipient, like his father. “At age 56, General Roosevelt was the oldest soldier in the D-Day invasion and the only general to land by sea with the first wave of troops. Using a cane due to arthritis, General Roosevelt calmly urged his troops on amidst the incredible attacks. He survived D-Day but succumbed to a heart attack five weeks later,” said Suozzi. “Years later, General Omar Bradley was asked, ‘What was the bravest thing you ever saw in your military career?’ Bradley responded, ‘Ted Roosevelt on the beach in Normandy.’” Suozzi also visited the small village of Sainte-MèreÉglise, the first French village to be liberated by the Allies after D-Day. He met with the mayor, Jean Quétier, presenting him with a flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol. Sainte-Mère-Église is the sister city of Locust Valley. In 1944, Life magazine ran a photo of the wife of the
mayor of Ste-Mère-Église placing flowers on the grave of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. The photo inspired residents of Locust Valley to “adopt” the village as a “sister city,” sending supplies to the war-ravaged village. Within a year, nearly 200 American cities had followed Locust Valley’s lead, adopting sister cities all over the world. In 1956, President Eisenhower officially formed Sister Cities International. Additionally, Suozzi visited the Normandy Institute, an international educational residence with a mission to foster understanding and inspiration from the historic events of D-Day. He met with Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower, who presented both Suozzi and his colleague Congressman Jeff Fortenberry with medals recognizing their efforts in promoting the history of D-Day and the Normandy Invasion. Interred at the American Cemetery, Colleville-surMer, France: Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. of Oyster Bay, 4th Infantry Division Private Charles Byrnes of Hicksville, 116th Infantry

The Art Guild announces 2019 Awards The Art Guild celebrated the opening of its 2019 Members Showcase Exhibition on May 31. Nearly 250 guests were treated to a garden party reception on Elderfields’ sunny patio, with live music provided by Chris Kinnear.

Local dignitaries in attendance included Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (dGlen Cove) and North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio. Dr. Charles A. Riley II, executive director of the Nassau County Museum of Art, was the juror-of-awards for this exhibition. Riley is a lecturer, art critic, educator and an author of over 30 books on the visual arts. “It was an utter joy to view [the] work closely, and it is wonderful to think of all this super painting, drawing and creating coming from a lovely house around the corner from my museum,” said Riley. First place was awarded to Heather Heckel for her colored pencil and gold leaf painting, “Amanda;” second place was awarded to Alice Riordan for her terracotta sculpture, “Walt Whitman;” and third place was awarded to Ilene Silberstein for her oil painting, ”Bowl of Roses.“
