Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a twentieth-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest PhD, Ruth Gruber is now in her 104th year. The photographs in this exhibition span more than fifty years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.
This exhibition is on loan from the International Center of Photography.

Sephardic Film Fest: God’s Slave @ Ahavath Achim
Apr 12 @ 7:00 pm

Final film in the Sephardic Winter Film Series:

God’s Slave. A riveting story based on actual events of a 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires. This is a cat-and-mouse story of a deadly showdown between terrorists and an Israeli special agent. A man trained since childhood to be a suicide bomber attempts to execute a bombing at a synagogue. An Israeli agent works to stop the plot and the story ends with violent and unexpected consequences. Never doubt the power of free will in a human being.

Spanish with English Subtitles, 91 minutes, Production by Joel Schneider. Speaker: Ivonne Saed

 

Admission & Sephardic dessert are FREE.

Sponsors: Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, National Council of Synagogue Youth (NCSY), Albert J. & Esther Menashe, Richard & Judi Matza, Charles & Jo Levy, Ron & Pam Sidis, Renee Ferrera
