SUMMARY:Turning Loss Into a Creative Ritual—A Father’s Kaddish
DESCRIPTION:How does a father go on after the loss of his 23-year-old son Jared to brain cancer?  In A FATHER’S KADDISH, Steven Branfman, a potter and teacher, begins his grief process by making one Japanese tea bowl (chawan).  He continues making a new bowl every day for a year after Jared’s death – these were the only pots he made that year.  This is his way of saying Kaddish (the Jewish mourning prayer).\nThis powerful film shows traditional and non-traditional ways for people to grieve. From one man’s poignant story at the intersection of love, art, and ritual comes a universal lesson for all who have experienced loss.\nFollowing the film will be a brief, live Q&A with film subject Steven Branfman and director Jen Kaplan.\nThis event is offered in partnership with the 14th Annual Austin Chevrah Kadishah Banquet. Tickets are not required, but participants must pre-register here.\nEveryone is invited to stay after the film event and participate in the rest of the banquet program to learn more about the work of the Chevrah Kadishah.\nThis is a free event, supported by community donations which will help offset program expenses and support an upgrade of Austin Shmirah’s Last Responder website.\n
