NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The first month-long cultural celebration of the Greater Sephardic world in U.S. history will debut Sunday, June 8, with the Opening Night of the 27th New York Sephardic Jewish Film Festival (NYSJFF) at El Museo del Barrio on Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile. Festival Sefarad NYC is a movable feast of more than 40 events across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island in June.

Organized by the American Sephardi Federation (ASF) in partnership with over 50 community organizations and supported by the UJA-Federation of New York, Festival Sefarad brings Sephardic scholarship, music, film, art, and spirituality to the forefront of New York’s Jewish cultural calendar.

“Festival Sefarad is a joyous and transformative series of events that exemplify the resilience, creativity, and inclusivity of Sephardic communities,” said ASF President David E.R. Dangoor. “This celebration embraces Jews of all backgrounds and showcases a powerful model of Jewish unity.”

Opening Night Highlights:
• A special concert by acclaimed Brazilian singer Fortuna with Trio Mediterraneo and Grammy-winning trumpeter Frank London.
• Presentation of the ASF Pomegranate Awards to outstanding Sephardic artists, writers, actors, directors, and performers: Michel Boujenah, Fortuna, Yael Naim, and Roya Hakakian. Past honorees include: André Aciman, Alexandre Arcady, Lisa Azuelos, André Azoulay, Helene Cixous, Ronit Elkabetz, Stella Levi, Albert Memmi, Saïd Ben Saïd, Eli Tahari, and John Turturro.
• The Pomegranates are sculpted by renowned Baghdad-born artist Oded Halahmy

Festival events continue June 9 with a presentation “From the Sacred to the Utilitarian…Exploring the Soul of Objects” by ASF Pomegranate Awardee Ghiora Aharoni at the Moise Safra Center followed, at the Florence Gould Theater, by a 40th anniversary screening of Boujenah’s THREE MEN & A CRADLE and the world premiere of YAEL NAIM: A NEW SOUL. All other screenings will take place at the ASF - Center for Jewish History. In all, the NYSJFF will be premiering seven films, including MATCHMAING 2, JINXED, HILULA, THE LAST RIGHTOUS MAN (on the Baba Sali), LE PAYS D’ORIGINE, and NEUILLY-POISSY.

International filmmakers are flying in to participate in the Festival, Jill Coulon (YAEL NAIM: A NEW SOUL), Meital Cohen Navarro (OVER MY DEAD BODY), and Rafael Balulu (THE LAST RIGHTEOUS MAN). Joseph Samuel, a survivor of the Farhud, will speak following a special screening of GIADO: HOLOCAUST IN THE DESERT.

Legendary French-Sephardi singer Enrico Macias will close the NYSJFF on June 15 with a concert at El Museo del Barrio.

“The NY Sephardic Film Festival is a celebration of the diversity of Sephardic culture and identity. With World, U.S. and NY premieres our movies are a reflection of the vibrant lives—past and present—of Sephardic Jews throughout the world: from Israel, the US and Europe. Like a good wine, the NY Sephardic Film Festival is getting better every year!,” says ASF Vice President & Festival Chair Raquel Benatar Laredo.

Festival Sefarad will continue with immersive cultural experiences: Sephardic Shabbat dinners, a Juneteenth and Bloomsday events, rooftop parties, calligraphy workshops, synagogue and walking tours, and lectures by leading scholars, including Dr. Hélène Jawhara Piñer, Dr. Edwin Seroussi, and Haham Hakki Sassoon.

“Just as Jewish peoplehood is a mosaic, not a monolith, so too are our events,” said ASF Executive Director Jason Guberman. “Festival Sefarad NYC is a citywide celebration of Jewish joy, diversity, and resilience.”

ElevateOS Celebrates 10 Years of Transforming Class A Community Living with Personalized Services

ElevateOS marks a decade of innovation, offering all-in-one technology solutions for luxury apartment communities across the U.S.CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, June 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ElevateOS, a technology solutions provider for Class A multifamily communities, marks its 10th anniversary this year, representing a decade of addressing operational challenges in the luxury residential market. The company, which launched in 2014 offering personal services to luxury apartment buildings, has evolved into a unified platform serving property managers and developers across the United States.The milestone reflects broader changes in the multifamily housing sector, where property managers have increasingly sought solutions to address what the industry terms "app fatigue" among residents. According to company data, their average client consolidates over seven different resident apps, vendors, and service providers through the ElevateOS platform."We launched in 2014 offering personal services to luxury apartment buildings," said Mr. Konrad Koczwara, CEO and Founder of ElevateOS. "After witnessing a proliferation of different fragmented industries all trying to force residents to download random apps, slowly deteriorating the resident experience, we decided to do something about it."The company's platform combines traditional property management operations with on-demand personal services through a white-labeled resident application. Services include housekeeping, personal training, massage therapy, pet services, TV mounting, and private chef services. The system integrates with existing property management systems, including Yardi, Entrata, and RealPage.Addressing Industry Consolidation NeedsThe company's development aligns with industry trends toward service consolidation in Class A properties. ElevateOS reports that clients reduce point solutions by up to 75% through its platform while increasing net operating income by $23 per unit per month and resident retention by 10%.The platform serves properties including Wolf Point East in Chicago, Alluvion Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale, The Victor in Dallas, and Optima Signature in Chicago. Current clients include property management companies such as Hines, Bozzuto, Northwood Ravin, Morguard, Onni, Cushman & Wakefield, Greystar, Willow Bridge, and Watertown.In 2024, the company rebranded to ElevateOS and launched its all-in-one technology platform. The system now includes a white-labeled resident app, property management hub, personal services marketplace, and professional event planning services.Technology Integration and Data AnalyticsThe platform provides property managers with resident engagement insights not typically available through traditional property management systems. Features include rent payment processing, maintenance request management, amenity reservations, access control, document storage, and resident communication tools.The company's event planning division organizes on-site resident events for property managers, handling marketing, promotion, and execution through the integrated platform. These events are designed to increase community engagement, boost online reputation, and support property managers' social media presence.ElevateOS won gold in Multi-Housing News' 2021 Excellence Awards and reported over 100 percent growth in 2021. The company currently works with what it describes as the top one percent of luxury apartments in the industry.Market Position and Service ScopeThe platform addresses operational challenges specific to Class A properties, where residents typically expect hotel-style amenities and services. By consolidating multiple service providers into a single platform, the company aims to reduce operational complexity for property management teams and increase usage while maintaining service quality.The personal services component staffs and manages concierge-like services that residents can book on-demand through their building's branded app. This approach allows property managers to offer expanded amenity packages without directly hiring additional staff or managing multiple vendor relationships.The company's professional event planning team maintains partnerships across the country to deliver community experiences, focusing on creator collaborations, brand partnerships, and resident networking opportunities.Future OutlookAs the company enters its second decade, it continues to focus on Class A community operations across the United States. The platform's white-label approach allows property managers to maintain their brand identity while accessing standardized technology and service infrastructure.ElevateOS currently serves property managers and landlords throughout the United States, with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. The company's vision centers on creating a unified solution that combines technology with human-powered hospitality for luxury residential communities.To learn more about ElevateOS or schedule a demo, visit the company website or call +1 312-600-4968.

Uchodźcy z Ukrainy pomogli wygenerować 2,7 proc. PKB Polski w 2024 roku. Napływ nowych pracowników znacznie zmienił polski rynek pracy

Uchodźcy z Ukrainy coraz lepiej radzą sobie na polskim rynku pracy – pracuje 69 proc. z nich – wynika z najnowszego badania przeprowadzonego przez Deloitte dla UNHCR. Jednocześnie wciąż w tym obszarze jest wiele wyzwań, w tym bariery językowe czy kwestie dotyczące uznawania kwalifikacji, np. w zawodach medycznych i prawniczych. Na rosnącej aktywności zawodowej Ukraińców mocno skorzystała polska gospodarka, ale też sam rynek pracy: wzrosła konkurencja, a Polacy uzyskali możliwość specjalizacji i objęcia stanowisk menedżerskich, eksperckich i technicznych.

W UE wciąż więcej kontroli działań firm w ramach ESG niż zachęt. Konieczne jest złagodzenie podejścia

Instytucje unijne powinny bardziej koncentrować się na celach i możliwościach rozwoju, jakie daje ESG, a nie kontroli działań firm w tym obszarze i obowiązków sprawozdawczych – twierdzą przedstawiciele organizacji Business for Good. Konieczne jest więc złagodzenie obowiązujących regulacji. Europa powinna również dążyć do utworzenia wspólnego rynku o ujednoliconych przepisach i mechanizmach.

Wakacje wyzwaniem dla operatorów komórkowych. W najpopularniejszych kurortach ruch w sieci rośnie nawet pięciokrotnie

Długie weekendy i wakacje to wymagający czas dla operatorów komórkowych. W najbardziej obleganych kurortach udział abonentów tylko sieci Play w stosunku do liczby mieszkańców przekracza 500 proc. Dlatego operator planuje dalszą rozbudowę swojej sieci komórkowej do minimum ponad 15 tys. stacji bazowych. W latach 2020–2024 Play zainwestował w sieć i częstotliwość ponad 6 mld zł.
