    Surviving the Nova Festival with Millet Ben Haim

    On this episode, we're joined by Millet Ben Haim, who shares her survival story from the Nova Festival in Kibbutz Re'im, where the joy of dance and community was abruptly shattered by the Hamas attack. Her story highlights the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable circumstances. 3,882 people arrived at The Nova Festival in Kibbutz Re’im, in Southern Israel between October 6th and 7th, 2023. Millet Ben Haim was one of the partygoers dancing with her friends in the early morning of October 7th when the music stopped at 6:29am. We are honoured to share this conversation with Millet, and the story of her survival. During our talk, Millet mentions that this is not a political matter, it’s a human matter. In Israel, there’s now a common saying, in relation to the hostage situation, that says: "ze lo yamin, ze lo smol, ze yashar" “It’s not right, it’s not left. It’s straight.” This is not a political story, it’s a human one. This episode is dedicated to Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Ori Danino, Eden Yerushalmi, Almog Sarusi, and Alex Lubanov, all taken from the Nova festival, and Carmel Gat, taken from Kibbutz Bee’ri, who were murdered after 11 months in Hamas captivity, to Leon Bar, and to all of the victims of that day. *Trigger warning* This episode contains content relating to terrorism, murder, shooting and rape.

    Bringing History to Light: Little Bird (A New Limited Series)

    On today’s episode of Chai Montreal: The Podcast, we speak with co-creator and showrunner Jennifer Podemski and executive producer Christina Fon, of the limited series Little Bird, premiering on APTN and Crave on Friday, May 26. Little Bird is a six part limited series that follows Bezhig Little Bird, played by Darla Contois, taken from her family at the age of 5 on the Long Pine Reserve in Saskatchewan and adopted and raised by a Jewish family in Montreal. Her mother, Golda Rosenblum, played by Lisa Edelstein, didn’t know the circumstances surrounding her adoptive daughter’s removal from her birth family. Now in her 20s, Bezhig, or Esther as she’s now known, embarks on a journey to the Canadian prairies to trace her roots. She discovers that her forcible removal from her parents was part of what was later coined as ‘the Sixties Scoop’. Between 1951 and 1984, an estimated 20,000 or more First Nations, Métis and Inuit infants and children were taken from their families by child welfare authorities and placed for adoption in mostly non-Indigenous households, mostly out of province, or out of the country. The mass removal of Indigenous children from their homes, supported by government policies, later became known as the Sixties Scoop. Little Bird explores universal themes of resilience in the face of trauma and loss.the documentary explores the connections between the ground-breaking movement for Indigenous narrative sovereignty and the impact of the child welfare system as experienced through the Little Bird series’ Indigenous creatives, crew and Sixties Scoop advisors.

    A Mission to Make Construction and Home Design More Ecological and Sustainable: Celebrating Strong Women with Naomi Scherer

    Welcome back to Chai Montreal: The Podcast. After a brief hiatus, we’re excited to be back and continue to share important stories from our community. On this International Women’s Day, we wanted to speak with an inspirational woman who is working hard to make our world, and more specifically, our planet, a better place to live. Our guest on today's episode is Naomi Scherer, an Italian living in France, she recently made some big life changes to live life more ecologically correct. Naomi works in business development at Circouleur, France’s first and only recycling paint company. Circouleur’s business model of saving and recycling paint that other companies send to the incinerator is like what Naomi has done in her own home renovation – saving materials and items that would have been thrown away and giving them a second life. All while reducing the impact on the environment. You can follow Naomi's eco-renovation journey on Instagram at @maison_circulaire. At Chai Montreal, our aim is to celebrate Jewish stories and we’re glad we can bring attention to stories of strong Jewish women like Naomi who use their passion to make a positive impact. Hearing her talk about how her Jewish grandparents' history of resilience and drive is built into her DNA is truly inspiring. Do you know the Jewish history behind International Women’s Day? National Women’s Day, the precursor to International Women’s Day, was established in New York City by Theresa Serber Malkiel. Malkiel was the head of the Woman’s National Committee of the Socialist Party of America and created the first day celebrating women in 1909. Born in 1874 into a Jewish family, she and her family fled persecution in the Russian Empire (in what is now Ukraine) to the US. An American labour activist, suffragette and educator, Malkiel dedicated her life to the liberation of women. In the spirit of Malkiel, and all of us strong Jewish women, Chai Montreal wishes you a happy International Woman’s Day!

    The Covenant: In Conversation with Playwright Alice Abracen

    In this episode of Chai Montreal: The Podcast, Lisa speaks with Alice Abracen, the playwright of The Covenant, playing at the Segal Centre in Montreal from November 13 to December 3, 2022. Throughout the interview, we discover what inspired Alice to write the play and the research she undertook to bring the story of the artistic acts of protests of those imprisoned in Theresienstadt to the stage. The story of The Covenant is a story of horror, antisemitism and persecution, but it’s also a story of resistance, resilience, and community. It’s a story based on the past, but one that is pertinent to the present and important to remember for the future.

    Confronting the Past and the Future: Discussion with Murder Mystery Series Author Ann Lambert

    In this episode, Lisa speaks with author Ann Lambert about her murder mystery series and the themes intertwining her three books, The Birds that Stay, the Dogs of Winter and Whale Fall, published by Second Story Press. If you’re from Montreal, it’s not too often that you read a description of your hometown as the backdrop of a novel, so it’s a treat to be able to envision our city as we follow the characters of Ann Lambert’s series. As you’ll hear in the interview, we don’t want to give too much of the plot away, so you’ll have to read The Birds that Stay to find out why there’s a Chai necklace on the cover.
