Acharei Mot-Kedoshim

Our TBE monthly “Sunday Afternoon at the Jewish Movies” will be moving to the time of 4 PM this month (now that we are enjoying longer hours of daylight). April’s film, “Cadillac Records” highlights (with some poetic license) the involvement of Polish Jewish immigrant Leonard Chess, who together with his brother Phil Chess, founded Chess Records in Chicago in 1950. Though the film does not deal overtly with Jewish themes, the astute viewer can see how a Polish Jewish immigrant, having fled persecution in Europe, would feel common cause with the African-American blues musicians whom he brought to fame. Since this story takes place during the end of the Jim Crow era and the beginning of the Civil Rights struggle, it seemed an appropriate choice for April, since April 4th marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Also - the music is irresistible!
