A Kippah in the Caribbean @ Havurah Shalom
Nov 16 @ 7:00 pm

Havurah Shalom hosts a film evening exploring the future of the Caribbean Jewish community. The film “A Kippah in the Caribbean” (2015, Dutch with English subtitles) traces the culture of Caribbean Jews from Portugal, The Netherlands and Brazil, to Curaçao, Suriname, Aruba and the Dutch island of Saint Eustatius. Young Jews explore their lifestyle, including “Jewish Caribbean rap.” Great for all ages. Sponsored by the Institute for Judaic Studies, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, and Havurah Shalom. Tickets are $8 general admission; $5 OJMCHE members; $5 students; and free for youth groups.

This event is part of the 6th annual Many Stories, One Community: Portland Jewish Book Celebration focused on one book in November – The Marriage of Opposites by best-selling author Alice Hoffman.

Hoffman’s The Marriage of Opposites explores growing up on St. Thomas in the early 1800s in a Jewish refugee community. Rachel dreams of a life in Paris, but instead she is married off to save her father’s business. When her husband dies and his nephew arrives from France, Rachel seizes her own life story, beginning a love affair that sparks a scandal that affects all of her family, including her favorite son, who will become one of the greatest artists of France, Camille Pissarro.
