WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival© (SASIFF), presented by MorseLife, returns for its fourth season with screenings at three locations: the Rinker Playhouse at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (Jan. 25-31, 2026), Hooky Entertainment Delray (Feb. 1-5), and the new Glazer Hall in Palm Beach (Feb. 6).

Among the exciting, curated selection of films from all over the world are five cinematic offerings that will be of particular interest to Jewish film fans.

• January 25 – ETHAN BLOOM
• January 26 – DEAD LANGUAGE
• January 27 – THE PIANIST’S CHOICE
• January 28 – FRONTIER
• January 29 – THE TASTERS

“There’s something for everyone in our selection of Jewish-themed films, which run the gamut from a Miami-set comedy and a contemporary Israeli thriller to gripping dramas of WWII Jewish resistance,” promises Barbara Scharres, SASIFF Artistic Director.

The five films targeted to Jewish movie buffs that will be shown at the Kravis Center’s Rinker Playhouse during the upcoming Sun & Stars International Film Festival are:

DEAD LANGUAGE
(Mystery, 2025, North Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Oded Binnum and Mihal Brezis. Israel/Czech Republic/Poland, 110-minutes—In English, Czech and Hebrew with English subtitles)
A marriage gone flat hangs in the balance when Aya (Sarah Adler) goes to the Tel Aviv airport to pick up her husband and, on impulse, departs instead with an arriving stranger (Ulrich Thomsen) by impersonating his driver. The filmmakers expand their Oscar nominated short into a tale of mystery and subterfuge that becomes a delicate dance of longing for a version of a relationship that Aya cannot yet articulate. The strange and benign encounter that she orchestrates with the anonymous businessman only heightens her need to follow a fantasy that takes her to snowy Prague to follow a familiar path allegedly in search of her linguist husband and to reimagine who he and she might be together in a different life.

ETHAN BLOOM
(Coming-of-age Comedy, 2025, North Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Herschel Faber. USA, 90-minutes)
The Opening Night Screening of The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival©, presented by MorseLife.
This delightful film paints a revealing portrait of adolescence, humorously exploring the struggles of an awkward teenager navigating the loss of his mother, his search for faith, and the pressures of his father’s expectations. Starring Hank Greenspan from the CBS hit comedy The Neighborhood and movie/TV actress Rachelle Lefevre (White House Down, Proven Innocent, Boston Legal, Big Wolf on Campus), ETHAN BLOOM captures the perils of first love, religion, and speculation about the afterlife as the 13-year-old title character attempts to evade his Bar Mitzvah by converting to Catholicism. Meanwhile, his widowed dad (played by Joshua Malina from The West Wing) has engaged curvaceous redheaded Rabbi Dani to administer private instruction in the Torah. Talk about complications. Torn in multiple directions, Ethan communes nightly with his mom and dead dog in the heaven he imagines for them, while struggling by day with his enthusiastic discovery of solo pleasures of the flesh. It all comes together in a spectacularly moving finale when faith, sex, love and family all coalesce in well-deserved harmony.

FRONTIER
(Frontera)
(WWII Thriller, 2025, North Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Judith Colell. Spain/Belgium, 100-minutes—In Catalan, Spanish, French and German with English subtitles)
A small community’s psychic wounds from the Spanish Civil War are opened anew when a Pyrenees mountain village is challenged and divided over their proximity to Nazi-occupied France. Based on true events and starring Miki Esparbé and Bruna Cosí, this film is set in Spain in 1943, in a remote border hamlet where in direct defiance of Franco’s official rejection of Jewish refugees, customs agent Manuel Grau, has surreptitiously teamed up with a smuggler to aid and hide Jews crossing over the mountain trails. Effectively evoking the period and the peril with escalating tension between neighbor and neighbor and husband and wife, director Colell creates a shadowy rural milieu dangerously ruffled by the unfamiliar need to make life-or-death moral choices.
The Rinker Playhouse at the Kravis Center
Wednesday, January 28, 4 pm

THE PIANIST’S CHOICE
(La Choix du Pianiste)
(WWII Drama, 2024, North Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Jacques Otmezguine. France, 102-minutes—In French and German with English subtitles)
A young pianist’s prodigious talent sets a conflicted course in this meticulously crafted drama that unfolds before, during and after WWII. A German brother and sister suffer under the iron-willed control of their wealthy father, who seeks to crush the musical dreams of son Francois (Oscar Lesage), who finds all his passions in life reciprocated in the arms of his Jewish piano teacher Rachel (Pia Lagrange). Fame comes with liabilities when Francois is forced to perform in Germany, striking a deal with the devil in the effort to save the woman he loves, while his sister becomes a Nazi collaborator. Yet another woman emerges to lovingly influence the disgraced virtuoso’s future as he attempts to reclaim his reputation after the war.
The Rinker Playhouse at the Kravis Center
Tuesday, January 27, 4 pm

THE TASTERS
(WW II Drama / 2025, North Palm Beach County Premiere. Directed by Silvio Soldini. Italy/Belgium/Switzerland, 123-minutes—In German with English subtitles)
The year is 1943, and Rosa (Elisa Schlott), a German wife taking refuge in a small town while her husband fights at the Russian front, is forcibly conscripted to serve as one of Hitler’s tasters in his Polish forest bunker, the Wolf’s Lair. The lavish vegetarian meals prepared for the führer must be tested and tasted to prevent poisoning, and seven local women are forced to serve as the guinea pigs. Fear and paranoia reign, and no one is above suspicion, not the bodyguards, the tasters, or even the gourmet chef himself. For Rosa, an outsider from Berlin, solidarity with the other women is a slippery slope, and solace comes in the form of a dangerous relationship.

Salt allocation paves the way for Natura to deploy the first Gen IV nuclear reactor in the U.S.

ABILENE, Texas, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Natura Resources LLC (Natura), a leading developer of advanced molten-salt nuclear reactors (MSR), today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy has selected the company to receive the coolant salt used in the historic Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE). Natura was selected as part of a competitive Offer for Material Distribution issued by DOE in August 2025.

The salt coolant allocation is a pivotal milestone in the race to deploy next-generation nuclear power. The coolant salt, known as FLiBE, contains 99.99% enriched lithium-7 (Li-7), and it is essential for Natura’s 1-MW reactor to achieve criticality next year, keeping the project on track to become one of the first Gen IV nuclear reactor deployed in the United States.

“We deeply value the Department of Energy’s continued support and their confidence in our team as we advance the future of nuclear energy,” said Doug Robison, Founder and CEO of Natura Resources. “With our reactor facility already complete, this salt allocation ensures we can remain on track to deploy our MSR-1 in 2026 — marking a decisive step in advancing next-generation nuclear to deliver reliable, and scalable power for America’s growing energy needs.”

The MSRE, operated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from 1965 to 1969, demonstrated the viability of liquid-fueled reactor technology. Natura’s MSR-1 builds on that legacy with modern engineering, safety enhancements, and a mission to deliver reliable, affordable baseload power to meet increasing domestic and global demands for energy, medical isotopes, and clean water.

Federal Backing and Regulatory Progress

• Natura was selected in August as one of 10 advanced reactor companies under DOE’s Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program.
• DOE has conditionally committed to supply High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU) for MSR-1.
• The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a construction permit in September 2024 for Natura’s 1-MW reactor at Abilene Christian University. Natura is now pursuing DOE authorization to construct and operate, leveraging the NRC’s prior approval.

Natura’s reactor facility is already constructed, detailed engineering and design (DED) is complete, and the procurement process has begun for the MSR-1 reactor deployment.

Natura is building SMRs that use liquid fuel dissolved in a molten salt mixture. This design operates at high temperature and atmospheric pressure, enhancing safety while reducing waste. It can use several fuel types, including recycled waste fuel and enables harvesting of rare medical isotopes critical for cancer treatment.

Natura’s modular construction lowers capital costs compared with traditional light water reactors, making the company’s 100-MW commercial-scale reactor cost competitive with other clean 24/7 baseload power generation, including natural gas.

The efficiency and design of Natura’s 100-MW reactor will also make it an ideal solution for produced water desalination, a critical issue for the Permian Basin and other areas of the U.S. with significant oil and gas production.

The company expects to deploy its first 100-MW commercial SMR in 2029.

About Natura Resources

Natura Resources LLC is a leading advanced small modular reactor developer committed to answering increasing domestic and global demands for reliable energy, medical isotopes, and clean water. Natura’s reactors are liquid-fueled and molten salt-cooled, which enhances safety and reduces waste. With the first construction permit for a liquid-fueled reactor from the NRC, Natura has established itself as a leading force in the advanced nuclear industry, fueled by a commitment to support America’s energy future. The company is privately owned and has secured more than $120 million in private funding and a commitment of $120 million from the State of Texas. For more information, www.naturaresources.com.

Donors have chance to win trip to Super Bowl LX during National Blood Donor Month.
Red Cross x Saquon Barkley huddle up for lifesaving play in January.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The American Red Cross is facing a growing risk of a blood shortage following the holiday season. Currently, the Red Cross is distributing blood products faster than they are coming in. Without immediate action, doctors may have to make difficult decisions about which patients receive blood transfusions and who will need to wait. Snow, ice and frigid temperatures created challenges in December causing thousands of donations to go uncollected followed by busy holiday schedules and seasonal illness have significantly reduced donations—straining the Red Cross-national blood inventory.

January is National Blood Donor Month, and the Red Cross is calling on donors to start the year with a lifesaving act of generosity. To help inspire action, all who come to give blood or platelets Jan. 1-25, 2026, will automatically be entered for a chance to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LX, in partnership with the NFL. The winner and guest will get to enjoy Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, CA, access to day-of in-stadium pregame activities, tickets to the official Super Bowl Experience, round-trip airfare, three-night hotel accommodations (Feb. 6-9, 2026), plus a $1,000 gift card for expenses. For full details, visit RedCrossBlood.org/SuperBowl.

Your blood type is an MVP − Kick off 2026 with a blood or platelet donation. To book a time to give, visit RedCrossBlood.org, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or call 1-800-RED CROSS.

Over the last two decades, blood donation rates have declined — which means even small disruptions can have a big impact on the Red Cross ability to meet patient needs. This makes partnerships like the one between the Red Cross and the NFL as important as ever.

Now in its seventh year, the Red Cross-NFL collaboration has helped motivate more than 150,000 first-time blood donors to take up this simple act of kindness. Growing it into a lifetime routine can save the lives of patients today, tomorrow and for years to come.

“The start of the new year is a challenging time to collect blood, but it’s also an opportunity to build lifesaving habits,” said Paul Sullivan, senior vice president of Donor Services, American Red Cross. “Through our partnership with the NFL, we’re turning ordinary acts of generosity into what we hope is a powerful tradition — ensuring patients have the blood they need, whenever they need it.”

“Be like Saquon”- Give Blood, Save Lives
The Red Cross and Pro Football Champion and blood donor Saquon Barkley are asking, “Will you give blood to help save lives?” One of the most common reasons people say they don’t give blood is simple, no one asked.

“I gave blood once in college and that was the only time I had ever been asked to give, until the Red Cross reached out. It was a no-brainer for me to give again. It only takes about an hour and once you realize in that short amount of time how much help it can bring – it’s a beautiful thing.”

The blood supply can drop quickly – now’s the time to get in the game and give blood or platelets.

How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass^® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

About the American Red Cross:
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to victims of disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families. The Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to deliver its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org or CruzRojaAmericana.org, or follow us on social media.

EZgo pairs 40A / 9.6kW charging with dual-plug flexibility, a 1.8-inch on-unit display, aConnect app controls, and IP66 + 2T run-over durability, so drivers can charge fast at home, work, and on the road

LAS VEGAS and CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For nearly four decades, MSI has set the pace in performance engineering. This year at CES, MSI is showcasing how it’s extending that same build-it-tough, make-it-smart mindset into portable EV charging with MSI EZgo, a new 40A / 9.6kW charger designed to deliver fast, flexible charging across the places EV drivers live and travel.

One charger for home and on-the-go charging

EZgo is designed to be the charger you keep mounted at home during the week—and toss in the trunk when you travel. It supports 100–240V input with NEMA 5-15 (120V) and NEMA 14-50 (240V) plug options and delivers up to 40A / 9.6kW to help drivers recharge faster when a 240V outlet is available. With a 25-foot charging connector and Type 1 (J1772) or NACS options, EZgo is built to fit a wide range of EVs and daily driving needs.

Smart charging, without the “app-first” headache

Unlike many portable chargers that hide key info behind a phone screen, EZgo features a 1.8-inch display that shows essential charging data at a glance, plus physical buttons for delay scheduling and manual amp adjustment. Drivers can also use MSI aConnect with fast Bluetooth pairing and multi-user sharing, no “exclusive binding” hassle.

Built to endure harsh environments, and the stuff that happens in them

EZgo is engineered for the realities of portable charging, like being moved, stored, and used in unpredictable conditions. The IP66-rated enclosure helps protect the unit against dust and water exposure, while durability validation such as a 2T run-over evaluation underscores that it’s built to withstand the everyday mishaps that can happen in garages, driveways, and travel scenarios. Just as important, EZgo emphasizes electrical safety through compliance with UL 2594 and UL 2231, two widely recognized standards for EV charging equipment and personnel protection. And by using materials aligned with UL 94-V0 and UL 746C (F1), EZgo supports long-term reliability, helping the enclosure and components maintain performance with long-term exposure to heat, sun, and weather.

EZgo includes the practical extras drivers actually use: a home kit (holder + hook + hardware) for clean, simple storage, and a structured carry bag designed for trunk/frunk-ready portability.

“Portable charging shouldn’t feel like a compromise,” said Engin Yoruk,
North America Product Manager of EVSE at MSI. “EZgo delivers the power,
durability, and smart control drivers want, while keeping it simple and
compact enough to use anywhere you can find an outlet.”

A New Addition to the EV Life Series of Level 2 Wall Chargers

EZgo is the new grab-and-go solution for drivers who need flexible charging beyond the garage, but MSI is also expanding its home-charging lineup with EV Life Premium, the newest addition to the MSI EV Life Series of wall chargers. Built for everyday Level 2 charging, EV Life is engineered to deliver up to 14.4 kW (60A) of output, with installation flexibility for either hardwired setups or plug-and-play via NEMA 14-50. The EV Life Series is also designed for demanding conditions, featuring robust durability credentials including IP55/IP67 protection and IK08 impact resistance, helping ensure dependable performance indoors or out, season after season.4

EV Life Premium elevates the experience with an integrated full-color LCD display that makes it easy to navigate charger features directly on the unit while surfacing key charging metrics at a glance, reducing reliance on a phone for every interaction. Like the broader EV Life lineup, it supports Type 1 (SAE J1772) and Tesla NACS compatibility and works with the MSI aConnect app for smart scheduling, current adjustment, charging history, and updates. For drivers and properties that want a more connected, managed, and secure charging setup, EV Life also offers advanced capabilities including Wi-Fi + Ethernet connectivity, OCPP 1.6J support, and RFID authentication, helping make EV Life Premium a smarter, more secure, and more intuitive home-charging centerpiece.

Pricing, warranty, and availability

MSI EZgo and EV Life Premium EV chargers are available now at Amazon and the MSI Store, with prices EZgo prices starting at $349 (MSRP) and EV Life Premium prices starting at $649. Every EZgo charger is backed by a 3-year warranty, and every EV Life charger is backed by a 5-year warranty.
