What did Isur Danielovitch, Jacob Julius Garfinkel and Emanuel Goldenberg all have in common? They were all stars of the silver screen during the golden age of Hollywood. Only you will find them in the credits as Kirk Douglas, John Garfield and Edward G. Robinson. And they weren’t the only ones: Betty Joan Perske found her fame as Lauren Bacall. These stars were among the many “hidden” Jews of Hollywood. Spend an entertaining evening with Los Angeles natives and CBI members Ron Silver and Michael Simon, who will take us back to the time when Hollywood studios kept the true identity of their stars hidden. Jack L. Warner, although himself a Jew, was not yet ready for Emanuel Goldenberg to crawl up the steps of a Catholic Church and say the immortal line, “Mother of Mercy, is this the end of Rico?” But Edward G. Robinson? No problem.

The United Nations program Plant for the Planet is training children and teens to become Ambassadors for Climate Justice at free one-day Academies open to all students in grades 4-12.
Register by the evening of Sunday, April 10th so that your student can be empowered to fight for global climate justice. Go to ClimateChangeRecovery.org for the first step in the two-step registration process; you will find a link there to register at the Federation’s site also—please complete that step no later than Sunday evening April 10th.
Academies bring students together from around the area, so that many students interested in becoming Climate Justice Ambassadors will have the opportunity to participate.
Youth teach other youth to become Ambassadors knowledgeable about:
• the science of Climate Change and Recovery,
• the impacts on people everywhere of the current situation,
• how to plant trees and organize planting parties.
• how to make effective presentations and influence policy.
And we provide ongoing activities after the Academy.
Since 2007, Plant for the Planet has empowered more than 36,000 children in 50 countries to stop Climate Change through planting trees and getting adults to act. Academies give students the skills and confidence to speak out on Climate Change.
You can also share these event through Facebook and encourage kids to spread the word through Instagram. (Links below.)
