More info about Ken Sutak after the jump.

Ken Sutak is a full-time attorney, sometime writer, and for the past several years a dynamic lecturer for URJ-affiliated organizations on the subject of Jewish-themed movies during World War II and its aftermath. He has produced two very popular film poster exhibits for the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Museum in New York City, Cinema Judaica: The War Years, 1939–1949 during Spring 2007 and Cinema Judaica: The Epic Cycle, 1949-1972 during Spring 2008. He has since been tapped by HUC-JIR to produce a compact traveling version of both shows for the Jewish Museums of Vienna, Copenhagen, and London. In his own right, Ken Sutak is the author of The Great Motion Picture Soundtrack Robbery and the co-author of Cinema Judaica: Unforgettable Images of Jewish Heroes and Heroines in the Movie Poster Art of the Post-War Era, to be co-published by HUC-JIR.

With your help, JNF is building the largest indoor playground in Israel — a gift that will have a major impact on the residents of Sderot. This all-inclusive Indoor Recreational Center will provide Sderot’s youth with a place to have fun, connect with friends, enjoy stimulating classes, and be children, beyond the conflict. A place to feel strong and free, away from their daily helplessness and anxiety. And parents will have peace of mind knowing that their children are playing and learning in an environment that is safe and secure.

    Answer – this is people with good intentions, who are unfortunately able to understand only one tenth of the problem. The international community has been aghast for years at the treatment of the palestinians by the Israelis – how long before the US realises and stops funding their war crimes?
