[leslie j. yerman communications]

Hi all:

My client, Gabriela Bohm, will be in NYC on May 3rd for a screening of 
her fascinating documentary, /The Longing:  The Forgotten Jews of South 
America/.
/
/Gabriela was born in Argentina and is now a US citizen, living in LA.  
This is her second film.

All the information is below.  Hope you can make it!

Gabriela Bohm's /The Longing: The Forgotten Jews of South America/ is 
being featured at Feria Artistica, a celebration of Latino Jewish 
culture at Makor.  The screening will be on May 3^rd at at 7:30 pm at 
the Steinhardt Building, 35 West 67th Street, New York City.  The 
director will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening.

This moving documentary tells the story of a small group of South 
Americans who long to affirm their faith.  Their ancestors --- European 
Jews --- were forced to convert during the Spanish Inquisition.  
Isolated in Catholic countries, rejected by local Jewish communities, 
they battle to become Jews regardless of the consequences.  After 
studying with an American rabbi over the Internet, they meet him in 
Ecuador to complete their conversion. Lost no more, the new converts' 
dreams are fulfilled. Yet they face an uncertain future.
