Here is a calendar of upcoming events, up and down the country. Some are organized by us, others by like-minded organizations and groups.
We’re holding a sausage sizzle at Shirley Bunnings on Marshland Road.
Each sausage sizzle has been a wonderful opportunity to meet the public, raise awareness of Israel, the Middle East and Jewish culture.
The funds will go toward furthering Holocaust Education and fighting racial intolerance.
If you can help out for a morning or afternoon, then feel free to email Rebecca Marchand, our Secretary, on rebecca.marchand@nzfoi.org or call her on (021) 0224 2515.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
KEN HEPWORTH is a man with a heart for God’s people and a desire to see the Church, both locally and globally become all it is destined to be in Christ.
Through the Bible Ken has come to a deep understanding of God’s love of, and faithfulness to the Jewish people. He is passionate about sharing God’s plan for His people and His land Israel. Ken is also fervent about exposing increasing anti-Semitism in the world and challenging Replacement Theology. Come along and find out more about what the Bible reveals of God’s plan for Israel, as well as how we as the Church are called to be part of that plan.
This passion has placed him at the cutting edge of healing and deliverance issues in his calling and commitment to fully proclaim the Kingdom of God. He has served the local church for over thirty years as Evangelist, Pastor and latterly as a Bible Teacher with an International Discipleship and Healing Ministry. He served as UK Chairman of Ebenezer Operation Exodus, an organisation dedicated to the return of the Jewish people to Israel, for five years.

Special Evening

Did you know that the Simon Weisenthal Centre’s work now is primarily geared to countering holocaust denial and pursuing holocaust deniers like David Irving. Consider what does it take legally to do this? What is the holocaust evidence?
Movie Synopsis:
A Jewish university professor in Jewish studies at an American university named Deborah E. Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) cites historian David Irving in a book about Holocaust deniers. Pretty straight forward you would think. An open and shut case over the death of 6 million Jews. Think Yad Vashem, Auschwitz… Irving then accuses her of libel and brings an action against her. Now the tables are turned and she is the one being accused. The key issue becomes a legal battle for historical truth. As the burden of proof is placed on the accused, Lipstadt and her legal team must fight to prove the truth of the holocaust. How would you answer this question????

You’re invited to a free screening of the movie “Woman in Gold.”
It is the story of Maria Altmann, an elderly Jewish refugee living in Cheviot Hills, Los Angeles, who, together with her young lawyer, Randy Schoenberg, fought the government of Austria for almost a decade to reclaim Gustav Klimt’s iconic painting of her aunt, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, which was stolen from her relatives by the Nazis in Vienna just prior to World War II. Altmann took her legal battle all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, which ruled on the case Republic of Austria v. Altmann (2004).
It stars Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Brühl, Katie Holmes, Tatiana Maslany, Max Irons, Charles Dance, Elizabeth McGovern, and Jonathan Pryce.
A strong cast, an absorbing story.
The film scores 4.7 out of five on Amazon reviews.
Please bring a plate of finger food. The library will be open so be sure to bring your returns.

The DocEdge Festival is on, and you have one chance to watch this fascinating documentary:
Joe’s Violin
In this award-winning documentary short, a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor donates his violin of 70 years to a local instrument drive, changing the life of a 12-year-old school girl from America’s poorest congressional district, and unexpectedly, his own. Joe’s Violin poignantly illustrates how a small act can have a great impact.
The film was nominated for the 2017 Academy Awards.
