Please join us for a powerful evening of healing and transformation. The solar eclipse is a time of new beginnings in which spiritual power is magnified, so it is the perfect opportunity to initiate the changes that you desire. The topic that we’ll focus on is prana and breath. The eastern schools of metaphysics have long spoken of the importance of breath. They considered proper breathing essential to healthy living. The evening will consist of: - A short talk on how the breath draws in the essential prana that helps us to rebuild the physical body. - Breathwork exercises - You will be seated in small groups of 3 recipients per certified healer, each with a minimum of 5 years of metaphysical training, - Specific divine light rays will be directed into your chakras to release negative energies. - The divine light will then be used to uplift your consciousness wherever it is needed. - The healers will then work on your nervous system to release blockages and revitalize your nerve body. Whether you are seeking physical, mental or emotional transformation, Divine Light healing is a full-spectrum aura therapy. It offers spiritual upliftment in every area of life including a greater sense of self-reliance and self-confidence, release of past traumas and negative habits, accelerated development of talent and abilities and greater harmony in all types of relationships. “Spiritual energy is the single biggest key to building and sustaining health, because it connects you to your source of health.”- Barbara Martin & Dimitri Moraitis – The Healing Power of Your Aura The aura is crucial to healing because it is the place where you generate the spiritual energy to manifest health. Built on the clairvoyant experiences of renowned teachers Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis, these healing techniques have been endorsed by medical luminaries C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Richard Gerber. NEIL MINTZ is a certified Divine Light Teacher through Spiritual Arts Institute, with 12 years of intensive study in metaphysics and healing.

Yiddishland and The House of Israel are honored to host a screening of the silent film “The City without Jews,” a 1924 Austrian masterpiece, directed and produced by H.K. Breslauer. The film is based on a bestselling homonymous dystopian novel by Hugo Bettauer, which portrays the fictional Austrian city of “Utopia” (a thinly-disguised stand-in for Vienna), which passed an antisemitic law, forcing all Jews to leave the country. Although at first the decision was welcomed and met with celebration, as time went by, Utopia’s citizens faced an ongoing economic impoverishment and cultural decline that forced them to reconsider their decision and wonder whether to invite the Jews back. Though darkly comedic in tone and stylistically influenced by German Expressionism, the film nonetheless contains ominous and eerily realistic sequences, such as shots of freight trains transporting Jews out of the city. It is considered to be one of the few surviving Austrian expressionist films, being then the subject of research and interest both in Austria and around the world. We will have the unique opportunity to enjoy live original music by world-renowned Klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and silent film pianist Donald Sosin. Alicia Svigals Violinist/composer Alicia Svigals is the world’s leading Klezmer fiddler and a founder of the Grammy-winning Klezmatics. She has performed with and written music for violinist Itzhak Perlman and has worked with the Kronos Quartet, playwrights Tony Kushner and Eve Enseler, poet Allen Ginsburgh, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Debbie Friedman and Chava Albershteyn. Svigals was awarded a Foundation for Jewish Culture commission for her original score to the 1918 film The Yellow Ticket and is a MacDowell fellow. With jazz pianist Uli Geissendoerfer, she recently released Beregovsky Suite a recording of contemporary interpretations of Klezmer music from a long-lost Soviet Jewish archive. Her CD Fidl (1996) reawakened Klezmer fiddle tradition. Her newest CD is Beregovsky Suit: Klezmer Reimagined, with Jazz pianist Uli Geissendoerfer-an original take on long-lost Jewish music from Ukraine. Donald Sosin Pianist/composer Donald Sosin grew up in Rye, New York and Munich, and has performed his scores for silent films, often with his wife, singer/percussionist Joanna Seaton, at Lincoln Center, MoMA, BAM, the National Gallery, at major film festivals in New York, San Francisco, Telluride, Hollywood, Pordenone, Bologna, Shanghai, Bangkok, Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, and Jecheon, South Korea and many college campuses. He has worked with Alexander Payne, Isabella Rossellini, Dick Hyman, Jonathan Tunick, Comden and Green, Martin Charnin, Mitch Leigh, and Cy Coleman, and has played for Mikhael Baryshnikov, Mary Travers, Marni Nixon, David Alan Grier, Howie Mandel, Geula Gill, Donna McKechnie and many others. He records for Criterion, Kino, Milestone, Flicker Alley and European labels, and his scores are heard frequently on TCM. Sosin has had commissions from MoMA, the Chicago Symphony Chorus, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. He lives in rural Connecticut with his family.
