Это не единственная наша совместная работа
потому что как говорят на английском :
Team work makes a dream work
что обозначает
Вместе мы сила!
Итак:
Драматические события последних лет: войны, революции, усиление террора не вселяют оптимизма современному человеку. Противоречивые прогнозы ведущих мировых светил в различных областях знаний, только усугубляют растерянность в жителях планеты Земля.Идея нашего фильма состояла в том , что бы собрать экономистов, писателей, политологов Израиля и спрогнозировать перспективы развития человечества на ближайшие 10 — 15 лет с точки зрения израильтян в частности и евреев в целом.
Ведь здесь, в Израиле , нам виднее — “Связь местная”.
Начало просмотра в 18-00 по Израилю. Разумеется, можно посмотреть кино заранее и подготовить список каверзных вопросов, пусть попробуют ответить! Или не ответить).

Вебинар - Новый уровень отношений между людьми

Приглашаем вас на встречу Клуба Международной академии каббалы.
Мы прошли долгий путь развития: неживой, растительный и животный уровни. И теперь выходим на совершенно новый уровень – Человека. Это тот собирательный образ, когда мы все вместе интегрально связаны между собой.
Новый уровень требует от нас разумного подхода. Впервые в истории человечества мы сможем управлять своей судьбой, если поймем, что нам самим надо меняться. Нам необходимо построить новое, полностью взаимосвязанное общество, которое будет подобно самой природе. Если мы будем интегрально связаны между собой и начнем ощущать и себя, и других как одно общее интегральное целое, у нас возникнет новое ощущение – “мы”.
И вместе с этим мы начнем ощущать ту силу в природе, которая окружает нас, управляет нами, которая вызывает все явления. Это уровень выше времени и пространства, на уровне сил и мыслей.
Это следующий этап развития человечества.

State vs Natasha Banina
2020-06-28 20:00 - 22:00
ARLEKIN PLAYERS THEATRE CONTINUES 10th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
ONLINE with the WORLD PREMIERE LIVE THEATRE ART EXPERIMENT of
STATE VS NATASHA BANINA
May 17 – June 28, 2020
Needham, MA – Arlekin Players Theatre presents State vs Natasha Banina, a newly-conceived, World premiere, live, theatre art experiment directed by Igor Golyak based on Yaroslava Pulinovich’s Natasha’s Dream and featuring Arlekin company member Darya Denisova. Golyak and Denisova each received 2020 Elliot Norton awards from the Boston Theatre Critics Association for Outstanding Direction and Outstanding Actress, respectively. Press opening begins May 17, 2020. Performances will take place on Sunday evenings from May 27 – June 28, 2020 (no performance on May 31) online using the Zoom platform. Tickets are FREE, with a suggested donation. For more information or to reserve a Zoom spot, visit arlekinplayers.com or call (617) 942-0022. Each performance will also offer a post-show discussion.
In State vs Natasha Banina, a girl tells the story of her life in a small-town orphanage, and her desire to be free; break out of her world. From the inside of a “ZOOM” courtroom, she will make twists and turns through her unique appeal to audiences as the jurors, letting them into her world where she dreams about love, family, acceptance, adjusting and her future. Ultimately the two worlds collide and the audience gets to decide her fate.
“It seems unreal, but yes we are opening a new production,” says Golyak. The couple have been rehearsing this piece during quarantine in their living room. “We are creating a new art form to overcome social distancing, the pandemic, and ultimately unite people in one virtual space by merging theater, cinematography, and video games.”
Arlekin Players Theatre was created in Boston in 2009 and has since toured to New York, Chicago, and Hartford, as well as to international festivals in Russia, Armenia, Ukraine, and Monaco. Arlekin takes strong pride in their emphasis on self-identity; they are a company of immigrants performing works that play on the ideas of cross-culture, home, and traditions, challenging the idea of nationality, and finding common themes that unite us all. The company makes its home in Needham, MA. For more information, visit www.arlekinplayers.com.

Вебинар - Чем мы можем по-настоящему помочь друг другу
2020-07-12 09:00 - 10:00
Для того чтобы привести творение к совершенству, необходимо:
– с одной стороны, чтобы творение было полностью оторвано от Творца, стало самостоятельным,
– с другой стороны, чтобы, будучи самостоятельным, оно было в состоянии изменяться в подобии Творцу.
Это достигается за счет разделения одного большого желания на огромное количество частных желаний, подобно лего, в котором картинка на картоне разрезана на куски. Эти куски представляют собой части одного творения, которые отделяются друг от друга, не ощущают связи, и поэтому каждый оценивает свое состояние в отрыве от остальных, ощущает только свою частную жизнь.
Такое ощущение частной жизни существует в каждом из нас. Несмотря на то, что вокруг нас существует много других людей, то есть элементов этой общей картины, мы не ощущаем ее, вследствие отсутствия связи между нами, и поэтому не ощущаем истинного мироздания – этого огромного целого, его жизнь.

Вебинар - За что я ценю своих единомышленников
2020-07-26 09:00 - 10:00
Любовь к Творцу, к творениям или любовь к товарищам – это все одно и то же – ведь прямо противоположно любви к самому себе. И потому она требует такого множества качественных изменений внутри человека. Но ценность любви к товарищам – очень высока, ведь благодаря ней мы обретаем дополнительные желания, ощущения и открываем себе истинную реальность, в которой находимся – то есть Творца.

Вебинар - Как получить поддержку Высшей силы на наши усилия
2020-08-02 09:00 - 10:00
Если в человеке нет желания к отдаче, то он не существует для духовного мира. Наш мир существует благодаря нашим инстинктивным желаниям, но духовное желание мы должны сгенерировать сами.
Такое желание мы можем получить только от группы. Это наше общее желание, ни в одном из нас его нет. Благодаря нашей молитве, эти желания должны попасть под влияние света, возвращающего к источнику, и обрести правильную, духовную форму.
Как получить поддержку Высшей силы в этом устремлении? Выясним это на встрече 2 августа

Вебинар - Как поддерживать равновесие материального и духовного
2020-08-09 09:00 - 10:00
Может ли человек, занимающийся каббалой и желающий войти в духовный мир, одновременно также управлять жизнью в этом материальном мире? Как найти баланс между духовным и материальным?
Человек действительно должен совместить оба эти мира. Он должен постичь духовный мир в то время, когда живет и находится здесь в этом материальном мире. Именно для этого он существует на этой земле в материальных рамках этого мира: рожает детей, имеет семью, родственников, профессию, учится. Но по мере развития и продвижения человек меняет свои ценности: с тех, которые были у него раньше – на более возвышенные, более духовные.

Black Ribbon Day
2020-08-23 12:00 - 17:00
COME TO THE RALLY – AUGUST 23RD, 12 PM, BOSTON COMMON IN FRONT OF THE STATE HOUSE, NEXT TO THE CIVIL WAR MEMORIAL
Black Ribbon Day, observed each August 23 rd , is the international remembrance day for victims of totalitarian regimes, specifically communism and fascism.
On August 23 rd, 1939 two totalitarian states – Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union – concluded a notorious Non-Aggression pact, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. This agreement propelled the tragedy of the Second World War and its consequences of the Holocaust, concentration camps, gulags and spread of communism over the globe. This tragic date has been remembered across the globe for decades. It was made an official Day of Remembrance in 2008 by the European Parliament and adopted by US and Canada.
We must learn from our past and remember those millions of lives destroyed under Communism and Nazism, so that we can treasure our freedom and never again allow for any rebirth of totalitarian systems. Totalitarian regimes always start the same way – free speech violations, media censorship, destruction of historic monuments, intimidation of political opponents – and always end in abolition of democracy and massive loss of human life. No totalitarian regime declares these goals at its outset. In fact, many of its early advocates often enter the movement with “noble” goals lured by seductive slogans and claims of equality and liberation. That’s why the general public needs to be reminded what the inevitable end result is.
As refugees of Communist countries, we know firsthand the dangers of authoritarianism. We’ve seen how easily people can grow comfortable with surrendering their most basic rights. On this day, we want to warn our fellow Americans of the dangers of Communism.
Our peaceful rally will take place in Boston Common, across the road form the State House, on Sunday, August 23rd at 12 pm.
Speakers will include representatives of different immigrant groups sharing their experiences of life under Communism and other totalitarian regimes.
If you want to speak at the rally, you are very welcome. Please let us know and we’ll include you in the program.
Masks will be required and social distancing observed Emoji. The outdoors demonstrations of political expressions are legally exempt from Gov. Baker’s order for limitations on public gatherings.
Please spread the word.

Вебинар - Работа человека и работа Творца
2020-08-30 09:00 - 10:00
В чём отличие усилий в физическом мире и мире духовном?
Допустим, мне хочется лежать, а я встаю и иду на работу. Если я все-таки встаю и иду – значит я превозмог свое желание понежиться на диване и решил, что мне лучше пойти и добыть деньги. Хоть и через силу, но все равно, это является моим желанием. Иными словами, если в результате любых воздействий на человека, стыдя, укоряя, причиняя ему страдания, можно изменить его желания и заставить выполнить определенный вид деятельности, то это называется работой нашего мира. В итоге он пожелает ее сделать, чтобы избежать страданий.
Духовная же работа невыполнима по определению. Человек изначально не может произвести ее сам, потому что вместо него эту работу делает высший свет или Творец. Потому она и называется работой Творца.
В чём же заключается работа в духовном? Где та грань, за которой начинается работа Творца?
Выясним этот вопрос вместе на вебинаре.

3GNY Stories Live: WEDU Wednesdays
Featuring Guest Speaker Alexis Fishman
Wednesday, September 2, 2020 | 8:00 pm ET | Virtual Event on Zoom
Alexis is the grandchild of four Holocaust survivors from Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Berzi, her paternal grandmother, often repeated the following: “Even if you spent just 30 minutes in Auschwitz and then went back to living a life of total luxury, you would never, ever forget.”
Alexis never knew her grandfathers. Her maternal grandmother died when she was 10. So it was Berzi and her sisters’ experience (5 out of 6 of whom survived Auschwitz) that had the greatest impact. Alexis is honored to share pieces from all four of her grandparents’ wartime experiences, as well as the effect their legacy has had on her life and career.
Alexis Fishman
Born in Sydney, Australia, Alexis is the grandchild of four Holocaust survivors. She has lived in New York since 2008. Shortly thereafter, she discovered 3GNY and was a proud member of the board and co-chair of the education committee from 2015-2019.
Alexis is an actor and singer. She is recognized as one of Australia’s leading ladies of musical theatre, performing there in major musicals and earning a Helpmann nomination (Australia’s Tony Award). Since moving to New York she has continued to perform extensively off-Broadway and has also made a splash in cabaret — writing and producing six solo shows since 2014 that have earned critical acclaim and toured both the United States and Australia. Alexis is also a producer at Moira Blumenthal Productions, Australia’s premier Jewish theatre company and a Jewish educator for Lab/Shul, based in New York.

2020-09-06 09:00 - 10:00
Сегодня человек чувствует себя очень одиноко в этом огромном мире. Ведь нас не учат, как устанавливать правильные связи, не воспитывают для жизни в глобальном и интегральном мире. Наоборот, мы все ополчаемся один на другого, и в личных отношениях, и целые народы, и государства.
И от этого все страдают. Мы не строим такого общества, которое дало бы каждому ощущение тепла, уверенности, поддержки. А без этого человек чувствует себя как в вакууме и даже еще хуже, во враждебном ему окружении.
В конце концов, надо разобраться, для чего мы живем, кто мы такие, зачем мы так ведем себя, можем ли мы по-другому относиться друг к другу?
Давайте подумаем, как построить такое общество, которое соответствует всей Вселенной. Только от этого зависит наше доброе будущее.

Мы должны четко понимать, как надо относиться друг к другу. Утверждение, что в споре рождается истина, ‒ абсолютно неверно. Как в споре может рождаться истина, если все эгоисты, все думают неправильно.
Никаких споров быть не может, потому что истина должна прийти к нам со следующего уровня познания – не нашего! Нам нечего в себе искать. Мы должны только собрать себя так, чтобы вызвать на себя высшее свечение, высший свет. И тогда у нас все получится.

3GNY Stories Live: WEDU Wednesdays
Featuring Guest Speaker Elyse Wolff
Wednesday, September 16, 2020 | 8:00 pm ET | Virtual Event on Zoom
Elyse will share her grandmother’s amazing story of survival, including escaping death at Auschwitz more than once. Elyse’s grandmother, Yolan (Moldovan) Lichtman, was the 10th of 11 children and lived in the rural farming village of Satu Mare, Romania, on the border with Hungary. More than half of Yolan’s family died during the Holocaust, but Elyse’s grandmother and one of her sisters managed to stay together the entire time and after liberation they returned to their village where Elyse’s grandmother incredibly reunited with her husband (Elyse’s grandfather).
Elyse’s grandmother did not speak in detail about her experience until Elyse was old enough to ask about it. Her grandmother publicly told her full story only once, to Elyse’s 8th grade class during their study of the Holocaust, prior to passing away one year later.

Elyse Wolff

INSULTED. BELARUS(SIA)
2020-09-17 20:00 - 21:00, 2020-09-21 20:00 - 21:00
ARLEKIN PLAYERS THEATRE and CHERRY ORCHARD FESTIVAL PRESENT
INSULTED. BELARUS(SIA)
A READING OF THE NEW PLAY BY BELARUSIAN PLAYWRIGHT ANDREI KUREICHIK
September 17 and 20, 2020
Needham, MA – Arlekin Players Theatre, and its presenting partner Cherry Orchard Festival in NY, will present two virtual readings of Insulted. Belarus(sia), a new play by Andrei Kureichik, with English translation by John Freedman. The play will be presented in Russian on Thursday, September 17 at 8:00 pm (Directed by Igor Golyak), and in English on Monday, September 21 at 8:00 pm (Directed by Blair Cadden). Both readings will offer a post-show discussion with the playwright, who is currently in hiding from Berlarus authorities.
The readings will take place online via the Zoom platform. Tickets are FREE, but must be reserved in advance. For more information or to reserve a Zoom spot, visit arlekinplayers.com or call (617) 942-0022.
The readings are happening World-wide through a number of organizations – see full list below. ““I am thrilled that Igor Golyak and Arlekin Players will be the first of over 20 companies in five countries to present “Insulted. Belarus(sia),” a brilliant and important new play, to the public,” says Translator John Freedman. “Written by Belarus’s top playwright as the revolution was happening all around him, it is filled with drama, pain, and hope.”
Andrei Kureichik is a well-known Belarusian playwright and a member of the Coordination Council of Belarus—a group working to lead the transition to a new government and institute free elections in the wake of the falsified election that took place this August and the massive, ongoing protests that followed. Many members of this group are now in prison. Others have been forced into hiding or out of the country. Less than a week ago, while in hiding, Kureichik sent the text of his just-finished play to his translator with a request to quickly arrange readings so that others could know what they were experiencing. Within a week, over twenty theaters have signed on to present readings, and that number continues to grow.
The play tells the story of the first month of the Belarusian revolution, its ups and downs on the eve of the inevitable democratization of the country after 26 years of dictatorship. All characters have real prototypes; in some you will recognize former and current leaders of the country, in others – incredible Belarusians who have gone out to battle the totalitarian machine, sometimes at the cost of their lives, their freedom, and their loved ones. They represent polar points of view in the awakened Belarusian society. The author seeks to understand how the Belarusian revolution differs from Prague in 1968, Russia in 1991 and Ukraine in 2014. He tells of the tragic escalation of violence and repression employed by the authorities to repress freedom-seeking Belarusians with bayonets and clubs, and how solidarity, truth and faith in human values inevitably lead to victory over evil.
Arlekin Players’ Artistic Director Igor Golyak says, “It’s quite gruesome and unbelievable what is currently happening in Balarus. People are being tortured, found in forests, randomly picked up by men with no identifiers as a reaction to hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting the falsified election. With the playwright in hiding and afraid for his life, this play needs to be heard now!” Blair Cadden adds, “It’s rare in the theatre to have the chance to tell a story while it’s still unfolding, but thanks to this playwright’s talent and courage, we’re able to do just that. It’s an honor to be part of telling this story, and it’s incredibly exciting to put this virtual medium we’ve all been forced into to its best possible use—as a way to share an urgent, important story quickly and widely.”
Arlekin Players Theatre was created in Boston in 2009 and has since toured to New York, Chicago, and Hartford, as well as to international festivals in Russia, Armenia, Ukraine, and Monaco. It’s current international virtual tour of State vs Natasha Banina has received World-wide acclaim, including the New York Times Critics’ Pick. Arlekin has received multiple awards for its work including four 2020 Elliot Norton Awards from the Boston Theater Critics Association for its recent productions of The Stone and The Seagull. Alekin takes strong pride in their emphasis on self-identity; they are a company of immigrants performing works that play on the ideas of cross-culture, home, and traditions, challenging the idea of nationality, and finding common themes that unite us all. The company makes its home in Needham, MA. For more information, visit www.arlekinplayers.com.
