SUMMARY:JXJ BEST OF THE FEST - "Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire"
DESCRIPTION:Location: Cinema Arts Theatre\, Fairfax\, VA \n\n\n\nThe Pozez JCC in Partnership with Edlavitch DCJCC is thrilled to present JxJ BEST OF THE FEST: Monthly Film Screenings at Cinema Arts Theatre! We kick off this series in September with the movie: “Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire.” \n\n\n\nTold largely through his own words and eloquent voice\, this film seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) – his passions\, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. This film sold out at the JxJ 2025 Film & Music Festival in May! \n\n\n\nELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE | Dir. Oren Rudavsky | 2024 | United States | 87 min“With his unforgettable and shattering 1958 memoir “Night\,” Elie Wiesel forever changed how the Holocaust would be written about. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenager\, the Romanian-born Wiesel became an international spokesperson and renowned author\, eloquently transforming his trauma into literature of the highest and most profound order. In this enthralling new documentary\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky goes deeper into Wiesel’s philosophically abundant inner life\, depicted with nuance and tenderness\, and enriched by access to his archives. In many ways a private man despite being one of the most public voices of Holocaust remembrance\, Wiesel is presented here in newly intimate ways known only to his closest friends. ” ‘Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire’ stands as a crucial testament to an extraordinary man who helped shape our collective memory of the darkest chapter of the 20th century.” New York Jewish Film FestivalTicket Price: $15Tickets can be purchased in-person or online at Cinema Arts Theatre:Questions? Contact Shari.Berman@theJ.org or 703.537.3068.

SUMMARY:Artist Reception with Maya Nadison
DESCRIPTION:ArtWorks: To Teach\, To Connect\, To Spark Change by Maya Nadison \n\n\n\nJoin us for the opening reception of ArtWorks: To Teach\, To Connect\, To Spark Change\, a new exhibition by Maya Nadison. Enjoy wine\, dessert\, and an evening of creativity as you meet the artist and explore a powerful collection of works that highlight art’s ability to educate\, connect\, and inspire transformation. \n\n\n\nThrough puppetry\, sculpture\, illustrations\, and graphic novels\, Nadison invites us to see how art can distill complex ideas\, foster empathy\, and spark meaningful dialogue. Each piece reflects a moment in her journey where art became a catalyst for healing\, understanding\, and community building—whether by giving voice to difficult conversations\, capturing lived experiences\, or carrying forward cultural heritage. \n\n\n\nFrom wood carvings and papier-mâché figures to sketchnotes and digital illustrations\, ArtWorks demonstrates that art is more than expression—it is action. It teaches\, it empowers\, and it sparks change. \n\n\n\nComplimentary admission | RSVP required
