Save the date for "Labors of Love" presented by the Santa Cruz Jewish Film Festival at Temple Beth El, Aptos on Sunday, 4/26 -The film tells the story of the woman who created Hadassah - Henrietta Szold and the film's director, Abby Ginzberg, will be at the screening for Q&A!One of history’s most influential yet under-recognized American Jewish women, Henrietta Szold, left an indelible mark on the 20th century. She founded the women's organization Hadassah in 1912 and created a vital link between American women and communities in the British Mandate of Palestine. Through Hadassah she established the region’s modern healthcare system, built on a mandate to treat Arabs and Jews equally. Later, she spearheaded Youth Aliyah, an operation that rescued 11,000 Jewish children from Nazi Europe.
This heartfelt documentary, directed by Peabody award-winner Abby Ginzberg, brings long-overdue recognition to Szold and offers a thought-provoking look at a woman whose compassion and unwavering belief in the power of humanity reshaped history.
Hadassah of Santa Cruz will provide refreshments for our closing night at Temple Beth El starting at 6:30. The film will start at 7 pm.
Filmmaker Abby Ginzberg will join us to introduce the film and answer questions after the screening!
