Noshing With Yonatan Nir – January 26, 2023

Award-winning documentary film producer and director

Director, The Essential Link: The Story of Wilfrid Israel

This week, Ira spoke with award-winning documentary film producer and director Yonatan Nir. In this documented episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Yonatan talks about connecting with people through film; how reality is created through documentaries; the importance of DocuTherapy; growing from pain; how he discovered Wilfrid Israel’s amazing story of saving thousands of Jewish lives in Nazi Germany and turned it into a documentary; and why the story was not well known and why it deserves to be told.

Yonatan’s debut film, “Dolphin Boy”, premiered at HotDocs and received, among other awards, the Jury Mention Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival and Woodstock Film Festival, as well as First Prize at the World Festival for Underwater Images.  It was nominated for the Israeli Academy Awards; the International Green Film Awards (Cinema For Peace); the Mind Media Awards and was acquired by Disney Pictures.

Yonatan Nir's film “My Hero Brother” was the first and only documentary to win both Best Documentary Award and Audience Choice Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. ​ In 2017, Yonatan Nir won the International Director of the Year Award at the DocEdge Film Festival.

During the past decade, his projects have been screened by significant broadcasters such as ARTE, France Televisions, NDR/ARD, NHK, DR, AVROTROS, Channel 4, and many more.

BAGEL BYTES

“Ira’s Everything Bagel” is also available on Alexa, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pocket Casts, SoundCloud, Spotify, Stitcher Radio, Tunein Radio, and Vurbl.

“Bagels are the only bread that are boiled before baked. Once the bagel dough is shaped into a circle, they are dipped in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. After that, they are drained and baked for about 10 minutes.”

Bagels have been to space! “It’s safe to say that the treats from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal are out of this world. In 2008, Astronaut Greg Chamitoff boarded Discovery for a 14-day flight into space. Accompanying him? Eighteen bagels from Fairmount, a shop owned by his aunt.”

“The word Bagel comes from the German word “bougel,” meaning “bracelet,” and by way of the Yiddish “beygl” which means “ring.” So, if it is not in the shape of a ring or bracelet, it is NOT a bagel.”

“What sets bagels apart from other types of bread is the fact that they are boiled. Some imitations are steamed, but they do not have the same chewy and crunchy crust and are not true bagels.”

“The first beugel bakeries were founded in New York City in the 1920s. Later the name was changed and called a bagel.”

“The hole in the middle of your bagel is no mistake. In fact, this bread was baked with a hole so vendors could slide them on to dowel rods, making it easy to transport them to wherever they would be selling their bagel that day.”

“Bagels are the only bread that are boiled before they are baked.”

World Champion Competitive Eater Joey Chestnut won Siegel’s Bagelmania Bagel Eating Competition in Las Vegas January 13, winning the title, a championship belt and $5,000 of the total $10,000 prize pool.
