CTC was PROUD to Co-Sponsor Pride Shabbat 2013.
|
|
Pride Shabbat is an opportunity provides a way for our community to come together and share joyous and meaningful prayer in an inclusive environment
that welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning Jews, their friends and families. Last year there was fabulous turn out more of than 300 participants at
the Pride Shabbat service. Pride Shabbat has the endorsement of the Jewish Federatin of Greater Seattle and other groups including Congregation Tikvah Chadashah and Koleinu.
Its attendance grew when it was a project of Bashert: the LGBT initiative of the Jewish Federation. It has been a celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender and questioning Jews, friends, allies and families.
2013 is the fifth year Pride Shabbat since Pride Shabbat has been by the full membership of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. We've come a long way! In 2013 Pride Shabbat will held at Hillel UW in the University District.
It is inspiring to pray for liberation and freedom together.
Pride Shabbat 2008 marked a step forward in the embracing of all GLBTQ Jews of our community. In the past rejection by
congregations and exclusion from full participation in Jewish life were common and were part of the founding of CTC. Since 2008 Pride Shabbat has demonstrated
that the majority of congrations today in our community are welcoming and inclusive.

Seattle Jewish Film Festival
CTC is a proud sponsor!
Seattle Jewish Film Festival March 1 to March 9, 2014
Come see the our sponsored film Hotel Lux
Saturday March 8, 6:00 to 7:50 PM at the Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island, 3801 East Mercer Way
Click Here for Directions
In 1933 Berlin, an apolitical ladies’ man Hans Zeisig (Michael Bully Herbig) and his close friend, Jewish
communist Siggi Meyer (Jürgen Vogel), have a Stalin-Hitler cabaret act that never fails to crack up their
audiences. But as the political winds shift, Meyer disappears into the Resistance, and Zeisig is under
pressure to do an anti-Semitic parody. Instead, he dons Meyer’s Hitler outfit for a skit he knows will
be his last. Unable to secure an American visa, Zeisig makes his way to the Hotel Lux in Moscow, where
fearful and suspicious Comintern members mistake him for Hitler’s personal astrologer, a person of great
interest to Stalin. His assigned translator is Frida Van Oorten, a beautiful and feisty Dutch partisan
of Meyer’s, who only has contempt for Zeisig’s womanizing ways. Zeisig quickly realizes he’s unwittingly
jumped from the frying pan into a minefield of political intrigue and back-stabbing, where hidden
microphones are recording every word and being taken into Stalin’s confidence starts to get dangerous.
This playfully old-fashioned comic caper with madcap energy is full of twists and turns and strong performances.
Devices and techniques from another era—elaborate studio sets, matte paintings and dolly shots—and a lush
orchestral soundtrack also benefit this clever, entertaining historical adventure that zigzags between love, death and chutzpah.
Watch the trailer!!
