A seminal documentary, and one of the most essential films of all time, IFC Films is bringing Claude Lanzmanns magnum opus Shoah on demand for a whole new generation of audiences to witness. Exploring the scope of Hitlers Final Solution through interviews from survivors of the Holocaust, witnesses, and participants of the atrocities committed during the genocide, the film will get its first-ever on demand digital release on March 2nd, and IFC Films have released a brand new trailer marking the occasion.

The Hasidic wheeler-dealer Eisenbach made his debut on YouTube last summer, first seen smoking a cigarette and counting a wad of cash as he loaded up a minibus with paid demonstrators. His subsequent antics included offering a client a literal menu of protest options in his smoke-filled office (as his kosher phone chirps a Nazi, Nazi ringtone), and inciting a riot to provide an excuse to scatter garbage on the street because he had previously torched his buildings dumpster. However, theres a good reason you wont find this ginger-bearded resident of Jerusalems ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighborhood involved in the current violent clashes between police and Haredi demonstrators over enforcement of coronavirus lockdown measures

By Henry Abramson Generations of American Jews received their first visual impressions of the Exodus from the iconic Maxwell House Haggadah. Introduced as a clever marketing device in 1932 to convince Ashkenazi consumers that the coffee was kosher for Passover (although we call them coffee beans, they are actually the seeds of a fruit and therefore not prohibited as kitniyot), the initially pedestrian Haggadah has been updated and reprinted more than 55 million times
