Elaine Margolis, Rachel Seel and
Roberta Tankanow, and the JCC staff.
That evening, each co-chair spoke to
the importance of the film festival to
the Ann Arbor community.
"This festival is not just another
event," Tankanow said. "Movies are
universal and are therefore an impor-
tant means through which we increase
Jewish continuity, celebrations and
inspiration."
Last year, the New York-based JCC
Association announced its strategic
plan with the theme "Inspiring Jewish
Journeys." As Washtenaw County JCC
President David Segaloff said, "This
film festival epitomizes the very work
that we are trying to do in order to
inspire Jewish journeys. With every
year, the success of the film festival
grows."
Director Coppel spoke after the film
on Debbie Friedman. "I grew up on
Debbie's music," she said. "Wherever I
go with this film, community mani-
fests itself."
