This is only the latest from a series of ads focused on the Super Slow-mo feature. The hip hop duo’s song “Now You’re Mine” originally appeared on the 1992 Soundtrack “White Men Can’t Rap”.

“Make everyday epic with Super Slow-mo” onscreen lines read at the end of the spot, which is soundtracked by Gang Starr’s single “Now You’re Mine”, from their fourth album, “Hard to Earn”, released in 1994. Even though he doesn’t seem to be good at it and the other skaters can’t help but smile witnessing his performance, his sister manages to make the moment look “epic” thanks to her smartphone’s new feature. “Holocaust survivors passed the fear element to their children, but not to their grandchildren.”Īgainst this background, Fabriczki said her father “is freaking out over my wanting to give my son a circumcision, if I have a son, because then he could be identified as Jewish.” She has no children, adding: “I have no thoughts of this kind, living a pretty comfortable Jewish life.”ĭespite the generational gap it exposes, Fabriczki said she and her mother have bonded over the City Park Ice Rink Hanukkah event.The 30-second spot, titled “Shred”, features the girl filming her younger brother in Super Slow-mo while he’s learning to skate. “I think it indicates a generational difference in which young people our age don’t think twice about participating in an event that celebrates, publicly, our Jewish identity,” Eszter Fabriczki, 30, a regular at the event, told JTA.

Judafest, which was held for the 10th consecutive year, draws thousands of Jews and non-Jews to the historically Jewish 7th district for sessions, activities and exhibitions connected to Jewish cooking, dancing and Yiddish.Ĭhildren light torches at the ceremony of the Hanukkah menorah lighting at a public Menorah ceremony near the Brandenburg Gate on Decemin Berlin, Germany.

In Budapest, the city’s summertime Jewish cultural festival is also an example of Jews reclaiming their place in society. Organizers say the venue is important to them for symbolic reasons because it produced some of the world’s worst anti-Semitic policies after the fall of Nazi Germany. In Moscow, the popular Hanukkah on ice event, which began in 2012, is eclipsed by what may well be the largest celebration of Hanukkah in Europe: the annual gathering of 6,000 Jews at the State Kremlin Palace for an evening of dance and performances, as well as the bestowing of awards to communal VIPs. Like the massive menorah lightings, Europe’s growing Hanukkah on ice trend - which this year can be observed in Budapest, Moscow and London - also started in the United States, where it is occurring this year in locations from Wollman Rink in New York’s Central Park, to Houston to San Mateo, California.
