Cooking Demonstration: Garlic (Ages 18+) (Adult) (Youth)
April is National Garlic Month! Garlic transcends cultures. It can be found in Asian, American, African, and European cuisines. Garlic was known to early humans to be a healthy and versatile crop with medicinal properties. Commonly referred to as an herb or spice, garlic is botanically a vegetable in the onion family. Packed with vitamins and nutrients, garlic provides lots of flavor for a few calories and provides added health benefits. Join Mercy Health for a garlic-forward cooking class and learn a few ways to include this special ingredient to your favorite dishes.

Among Neighbors (Jewish Film Series)
Documentary | 100 Minutes | Language: English and Polish with English subtitles

 
Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, “Among Neighbors” examines the story of a small, rural town where Jewish and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust Survivors from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there – not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yaov Potash.
