Excellent idea!! I will keep this in mind, because we are always looking for new stuff, not necessarily Holocaust related. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

We also host a well-attended “Afternoon @ the Movies” series on weekday afternoons at 3pm usually showing new films currently making the rounds at festivals and not yet available on DVD. The most successful ones tend to be about, and include, food: Sturgeon Queens<http://thesturgeonqueens.com/> followed by a fish buffet Dough<https://www.menemshafilms.com/dough> followed by bakery treats Deli Man<http://www.delimanmovie.com/> followed by a deli spread (of course!) This past fall we screened Body and Soul: An American Bridge<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY_dBdViaHw> and then turned the Library into a “jazz club” with a performance by our local high school’s jazz ensemble along with sangria, wine, and refreshments. Later this month we are showing Germans & Jews<http://germansandjews.com/> followed by a discussion with a local German historian. Attendance ranges from 40-150 people depending on the film and time of year. Contact me for a full list of films that we have shown over the years.

Daniel, I might have not made myself clear. I’m looking for topics. We (a reform) , also, have Talmud and scholar-in-residence + adult Bat/bat-Mitzvah and the list that I have listed in my question.

It depends how one defines "success." Some programs attract lots of participants and no one gained anything. Others may have a few dedicated participants who really learn a lot. We have a Talmud class that meets weekly. 6-14 people show up every week. It has been going on for more than 25 years. We have scholar-in-residence programs that more than 250 people attend.
