COMMUNITY NOTICE (featuring a Paul Fischer film):
NOVEL JEWS Reading Series at KGB BAR Featuring Contributors of Half/Life Jew-ish Tales from Interfaith Homes
On Wednesday, June 14, 2006, Novel Jews features contributors from Half/Life Jew-ish Tales from Interfaith Homes, an anthology of personal stories, written by authors who have all shared the experience of being raised in a half-Jewish home. Though each essay is distinct, and the experiences are vastly different, the half-Jewish narrative in each describes the experience of growing up without a streamlined identity, unsure of community or religious direction.
Jeff Sharlet is co-author of Killing the Buddha: A Heretic's Bible (Free Press), and the author of Jesus Plus Nothing (William Morrow) , a forthcoming history of Christian fundamentalism. Former editor of Pakn Treger, an English-language Yiddish magazine of Jewish culture, he is now a member of the faculty of the Center for Religion & Media at New York University.
Laurel Snyder is the editor of Half/Life: Jew-ish Tales from Interfaith Homes (Soft Skull, 2006)and the author of a book of poems, Daphne & Jim: a choose-your-own-adventure biography in verse (Burnside Review, 2005).
Katharine Weber is the author of four novels, including TRIANGLE, just published by FSG, a contemporary story about the consequences of a 90 year lie told by the last living survivor of the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire of 1911.
WHAT: Jeff Sharlet, Lauel Snyder, Katherine Weber read at Novel Jews monthly reading series.
WHEN: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 (Doors at 7PM, Readings begin at 7:30PM), Admission is always FREE.
WHERE: KGB Bar 85 East 4th Street (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues), www.kgbbar.com
INFO: For more information visit www.14StreetY.org or contact Alyssa Abrahamson, Director of Arts, Jewish Culture & Adult Education, the 14th Street Y at Alyssa_Abrahamson@14Street Y.org

PUCKER UP! KOSHER (AND NOT SO KOSHER) ON SCREEN KISSES
Get bit by the June bug and celebrate the art of kissing with a unique blend of experimental, narrative and documentary shorts. From the racy to the pious, from the intimate to the innocent, what's in a kiss? Featuring:
DER KISH (THE KISS) (dir. Paul Fischer, 2004, USA, 9 min.) What does a little girl have to do in order to get a kiss from her rabbi father?
THE FIRST NIGHT (dir. Chen Galon-Klein, 2005, Israel, 23 min.) The New York Premiere of this short asks, "how does a young Orthodox couple deal with their first night of intimacy?"
A KISS IS A KISS IS A KISS (dir. Uri Bar-On, 2003, Israel, 6 min.) Palestinians and Israelis come together to conquer their kissing fears and their differences.
HONEY & BUNNY (dir. Eva Midgley, 2005, Great Britain, 10 min.) Two nice Jewish girls, some pillows, and a plum...
THE PERSONALS (Keiko Ibi, 1998, USA, 37 min.) An Academy Award winning short which is an extraordinary look at the intimate joys and sorrows of the emotional lives of elderly Americans.
With a special screening of the classic HOW TO KISS (dir. Bill Plympton, 1989, USA, 6 min.) One of the wackier HOW TO films ever made, How to Kiss shows all the violent and bizarre pitfalls of "sucking face."
