    Apple Picks Up Israeli Neo-Noir Series 'Losing Alice' Rotem Yaron/Apple TV+ 'Losing Alice' Created, written and directed by Sigal Avin, the eight-part thriller stars Ayelet Zurer as an aging director who becomes obsessed with a younger screenwriter. Apple TV+ is expanding its slate of international original series. The streamer has picked up exclusive international rights to Israeli neo-noir series Losing Alice and signed a co- production deal with Israel's Dori Media and cable company HOT. Created, written and directed Sigal Avin, Losing Alice stars Ayelet Zurer (Man of Steel, Daredevil) as Alice, a 48 year-old film director who feels increasingly irrelevant but is inspired once more after becoming obsessed with Sophie, a 24 year- old femme fatale screenwriter played by Lihi Kornowski. Building on the Faust legend, but through the unique prism of a female filmmaker, Losing Alice explores issues such as jealousy, guilt, fear of aging as well as the complex relationships women have among themselves and each other. The first eight-part season of Losing Alice will air on Apple TV+ worldwide later this year and is currently airing on HOT in Israel. Losing Alice joins an ever-growing list of international Apple Originals and is the second high profile Israeli series snapped up by the streamer. Apple TV+ recently boarded drama series Tehran, from Fauda writer Moshe Zonder. Apple TV+ will serve as a co-producer on the series from Cineflix Rights and Israeli network Kan 11. As part of the deal, Apple will serve as the exclusive streaming home to the series in all territories.

  • Words, Wickedness, and Charlottesville
    The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto SEPTEMBER 2017 Vol. 43 No. 2 (148) TISHREI 5778 Words, Wickedness, and Charlottesville By Shlomo Yaffe In classic Judaic philosophy, worldly existence is divided into four strata: The inanimate, the growing (vegetative), the liv- ing (animal life) and the speaking (human). It seems curious that we do not describe the human as “thinker” or “engineer” or by any other quality that humans exclusively possess. The answer seems to be that the true potential of humanity, for good or evil, lies in the capacity for speech. The individual human can accomplish but little. All the accomplishments and disasters wrought by humanity are by virtue of communication. The accomplishment of the first farmer or shepherd lay in inspir- ing a group of people to work together to create nutrition and raiment in a new way that one person thought of. This was through words, through communication. All of hu- man power has always been an expression of a plurality united and directed by words. Abraham and Sarah taught monotheis- tic decency by words. Pharaoh enslaved the people of Israel by words of fear and prejudice directed at the Egyptians. Beliefs promulgated by words held peoples in the thrall of autocracy, and beliefs expressed in words convinced yet others to throw off those chains. The fate of the Armenians in 1915-17 was woven of words— in hate-filled sermons and telegraphed instructions. The power of Hitler was in his words that convinced German people to join together in utter evil. It was words over radio that set in mo- tion the Rwandan massacre.

It grew out of my perception that most new members of the congregation knew little, if anything, of the history and governance of the Conservative Movement, and had virtually no context or framework within which to understand the Movement‘s current positions on such sensitive issues as the role of gay and lesbian Jews and intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews.

Dismissing the claims that such a move — pledged by the premier days before last month’s elections — would “endanger the citizens of Israel,” Netanyahu says that “regions in Judea and Samaria are not just a guarantee of Israel’s security — they are also our patrimony.” “The same ‘experts’ supported the Iran nuclear deal and warned that ‘Bibi is taking a wrong turn and ruining the alliance with America,'” he adds in a tweet.

  • Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide
    Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide Opening Plenary Sponsored by to Find Common Ground Lynn and Les Bider Jodie and Steven Fishman Andrea and Glenn Sonnenberg Closing Plenary Sponsored by Sunday, January 26, 2020 Lori and Rob Goodman Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide to Find Common Ground Stephen Wise Temple is excited to host the first Southern California Z3 Conference. In a time of growing disconnect between the American Jewish community and Israel, Z3 provides a means through which the dialogue and mutual interdependence can be strengthened. We are two vibrant centers of Jewish life and our different yet complementary trajectories along the continuum of Jewish living provides each of our communities with strengths and insights that benefit us both. After 71 years of existence, the State of Israel has reached a population of seven million which is roughly equal to the size of the American Jewish community. The dynamic of the movement of immigrants back and forth (by choice) reveals that both nations provide both their Jewish inhabitants with meaningful and secure homes. At the same time, the episodic resurgence of tensions and the associated insecurity reminds us that ultimately we need each other. And yet, Jewish life is not just about responding to threats. Our communities possess vast resources of talent, wisdom, innovation, and are highly educated. We have the capacity to collectively solve the challenges of our world even as we build Jewish life. Z3 is about searching for ways that we can share our strengths, leverage our vast resources, and secure Jewish life for the foreseeable future.
