SUMMARY:Momotaro: The Peach Boy of Japan - performance and cultural activities
DESCRIPTION:Prior to performances of “Momotaro: The Peach Boy of Japan”\, there will be a festival of games and cultural activities for families and a presentation on Japanese settlers in Nebraska by Vickie Sakurada Schaepler. \nThe games and cultural activities will be at 6pm on Nov. 22 and 1 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Omaha Jewish Community Center (JCC) – Eisenberg Gallery. \nThe presentation by Vickie Sakurada Schaepler will be in the Omaha Jewish Community Center (JCC) – Alan J. Levine Theater before the performances of “Momotaro” on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. \nTickets are $20 in advance\, $24 at the door. For more information\, or to buy tickets\, visit https://circletheatreomaha.org/mainstage-season/ . \nMomotaro is a beloved Japanese folktale about a boy who is miraculously born from a giant peach. An elderly\, childless couple discovers the peach floating down the river\, and when they try to eat it\, it splits open to reveal a baby boy inside. They name him Momotaro\, meaning “Peach Boy\,” and raise him as their own.  As he grows up\, Momotaro becomes strong and brave. When he learns about a band of ogres who are terrorizing nearby villages\, he sets out on a journey to defeat them. Along the way\, he befriends a dog\, a monkey\, and a pheasant by offering them delicious millet dumplings and they join him on his quest.  Together\, they travel to Oni Island\, work as a team to outsmart and defeat the ogres\, and return home victorious\, bringing back treasure and peace to the land.  The story is narrated in the traditional clown style by beloved Japanese figures\, with iconic tricksters bringing chaos and cleverness along the way.

SUMMARY:A Life Well Lived: An Account of David Kaufmann
DESCRIPTION:The College of Communication\, Fine Arts and Media in conjunction with the Institute for Holocaust Education\, B’nai B’rith Monsky Lodge\, and the UNO Schwalb Center for Israel and Jewish Studies\, present a screening of the documentary film “A Life Well Lived: An Account of David Kaufmann.” \nThe movie tells the remarkable true story of David Kauffmann\, a central Nebraska businessman\, community leader\, and philanthropist\, whose actions impacted countless lives. David Kauffmann emigrated from Germany and settled in Grand Island in 1903. His contributions to his adopted hometown of Grand Island and other communities he conducted business in\, including Kearney and North Platte\, were extensive. Kaufmann’s most significant and least known act of service was his quiet sponsorship of Jewish families fleeing the Nazi regime. \nFree admission\, no registration required.
