The exhibition Fiery Pool: The Maya and the Mythic Sea presents a new interpretation of Maya art. By relating images to the mythic power of the sea rather than the familiar themes of blood lineage and ritual sacrifice, it deepens our understanding of the Maya and their world.

Charlie is a washed-up ex-major league baseball player, sentenced to mandatory community service for a drunken driving conviction. An upstart team of yeshiva students have the chutzpah to join the Collegiate Baseball League and are desperately in need of a coach (Is this match made in heaven?). As these unlikely partners join together in their crazily ambitious quest to win the championship, the lines between teacher and pupils become blurred. Charlie learns what it takes to be a mensch and in the process finds redemption. This movie is a Jewish smorgasbord with something (including romance and a wonderful soundtrack) for the entire family to enjoy. Co-stars Don Most (Happy Days)

In November, 2008, Israeli Director Erez Laufer and his father, Nahum, travel to Mumbai, India, where Nahum spent his childhood after his family fled the Nazis during the War. By cruel coincidence, they find themselves in the midst of a terrorist attack, in which the Chabad House is tragically one of the main targets. Past and present collide as the family history is recounted, and a little-known and fascinating story emerges of the Jewish refugees who found a safe haven in Mumbai during WW II.

Laura Esquivel was born in Mexico City in 1950. She began her career as a screen-writer, gaining international acclaim and winning several awards. The publication of her first novel, Like Water for Chocolate in 1990 was one of the major literary landmarks of that decade and has been translated into thirty-three languages.
