We are honored to have, among this year’s special guests, David Rubinger, renowned photojournalist, Israel Prize laureate and subject of our Closing Night film Eyewitness. Following the screening, David will be on hand to personally autograph copies of his just-published autobiographical book Israel Through My Lens. We’re very pleased to have the Calgary JCC’s Jewish Book Fair join us in presenting this book-signing event. As always, we would like to express our deepest thanks to all of our sponsors, without whom this festival would not be possible.

This year marks 40 years since the song “Jerusalem of Gold” was introduced for the first time. Performed by the then-unknown Shuly Nathan, the song immediately captured the hearts and imagination of a nation on the brink of war, and her heartfelt rendition of the song in that historic 1967 performance became etched in our collective memories. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of both the song and the reunification of Jerusalem, we are proud to welcome legendary Israeli folksinger Shuly Nathan, in concert, to open our 2007 festival! Saturday, November 10th at 7:00 PM BETH TZEDEC CONGREGAT ION SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2007 OPENING NIGHT THREE MOTHERS Israel 2006 Dina Zvi-Riklis, Writer/Director Hebrew, French and Arabic with English subtitles 106 minutes Drama – Hailed by Ha’aretz as “. a work of art resounding with volume and power”, Three Mothers is a poignant and evocative family saga in which the Hakim sisters, Egyptian-born Israeli triplets, stick together through good times and bad, even forsaking their husbands and children when dangerous secrets and conflicting loyalties force them to make seemingly impossible choices. Blessed by King Farouk when they are born in 1942, Rose, Yasmin and Flora’s fortunes fluctuate over six dramatic decades. A torch singer, Rose’s songs form the multilingual soundtrack that echoes the sisters’ loves, longings and frustrations. But it is Yasmin’s deathbed confession to her barren niece, Rucha, that truly sets this compelling tale in motion. Written and directed by Dina Zvi-Riklis, whose mother was a triplet, Three Mothers – nominated for 8 and winner of 2 Israeli Academy Awards – features stunning cinematography and moving performances by a talented cast including first lady of the Israeli screen, Gila Almagor and singing sensation Miri Masika. Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design - Israeli Academy Awards 2006 Wolgin Award for Best Israeli Feature, 2006 Jerusalem International Film Festival Saturday, November 10th following the Shuly Nathan Concert BETH TZEDEC CONGREGATION SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2007 THE CHILDREN’S HOUSE Israel 2005 Tamar Feingold, Director Hebrew with English subtitles 52 minutes Documentary – One of the great social experiments that Israel is known for is the kibbutz, a socialist society where children are raised communally – living, sleeping and growing up with their peers in the “children’s house”. In 2005 a group of Israeli artists, all former kibbutzniks, are invited by the Tel Avi Museum to participate in an art exhibition called “Communal Sleeping”. This fascinating and moving documentary follows the artists as they, each with their own unique artistic style and choice of media, create evocative and innovative works of art that portray their personal childhood experi- ences of communal sleeping. Along the way, the artists reflect on the nature of the parent-child bond, the concept of the family unit, and the lingering emotional impact that this childhood experience has had on them. Filmmaker Tamar Feingold intersperses their recollections with archival footage produced by the kibbutz movement in the 1950s, extol- ling the kibbutz way of life. These “promotional” film-clips stand in stark contrast to the feelings and often traumatic memories shared with us by the artists. Sunday, November 11th at 1:00 PM DEAR MR. WALDMAN Israel 2006 Hanan Peled, Writer/Director Hebrew with English subtitles 86 minutes Drama – Beautifully capturing the milieu of 1960s Tel Aviv, this gentle and touching film portrays a fragile family struggling to overcome a tortured past and start a new life together after the Holocaust. The story is told through the eyes of 10- year-old Hilik, who is certain that his role in life is to make his parents happy and compensate for the grief and loss they suffered in the Holocaust. His father, Moishe, is constantly coping with memories of his first wife and son, who perished in Auschwitz. Unable to accept his fate as a sole survivor, Moishe stumbles on a sign of hope that his lost son somehow survived the camps, escaped to America and became an advisor to John F. Kennedy. As his father begins to sink back into the past, young Hilik, torn between the fear that his father might abandon him and the desire to make his father happy, takes matters into his own hands. A coming-of-age story, Hanan Peled’s semi-autobiographical work knowingly captures the peculiarities of growing up amid the emotional wreckage of the Holocaust. Superbly written and acted, it explores the impact of profound loss on the intimacies of family and friendship and the restorative power of love and compassion. Nominated for three Israeli Academy Awards Sunday, November 11th at 2:00 PM SPECIAL GUEST HANAN PELED Writer/Director of DEAR MR. WALDMAN will be in attendance for a post-screening discussion. BETH TZEDEC CONGREGATION SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2007 SO LONG ARE YOU YOUNG: Samuel Ullman’s Poem & Passion USA 2006 Judith Schaefer, Director English Documentary – “Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind”. This engaging documentary tells the curiously fascinating story of how a remarkable poem written in 1917 by 77-year-old Samuel Ullman, a Jewish immigrant and dry-goods merchant living in the American South, traveled across time and continents to become a beacon of inspiration 30 years later to a generation of Japanese, thirsty for hope in a devastated post-WW II Japan. Layered with interviews, historical footage and photographs, Judith Schaefer’s eloquent film also tells the equally fascinating story of Samuel Ullman’s life and his contributions not only to the Jewish communities where he lived, but to the African American communities of the American South, as an early Civil Rights activist in the period after the Civil War. Sunday, November 11th at 4:00 PM SOMEONE TO RUN WITH Israel 2006 Oded Davidoff, Director Hebrew with English subtitles 118 minutes Drama – Based on the best-selling novel by acclaimed Israeli author David Grossman, this exhilarating coming-of-age story leads us on a riveting and suspenseful ride through the streets and dark alleyways of Jerusalem at the end of a dog leash.

  • Souvenirs of Conquest: Israeli Occupations As Tourist Events
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 40 (2008), 647–669. Printed in the United States of America doi:10.1017/S0020743808081531 Rebecca L. Stein SOUVENIRS OF CONQUEST: ISRAELI OCCUPATIONS AS TOURIST EVENTS It is perhaps self-evident to suggest that military conquest shares something with tourism because both involve encounters with “strange” landscapes and people. Thus it may not surprise that the former sometimes borrows rhetorical strategies from the latter— strategies for rendering the strange familiar or for translating threatening images into benign ones. There have been numerous studies of this history of borrowing. Scholars have considered how scenes of battle draw tourist crowds, how soldiers’ ways of seeing can resemble those of leisure travelers, how televised wars have been visually structured as tourist events (e.g., the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq), and how the spoils of war can function as a body of souvenirs.1 These lines of inquiry expand our understanding of tourism as a field of cultural practices and help us to rethink the parameters of militarism and warfare by suggesting ways they are entangled with everyday leisure practices. This paper considers the ways this entanglement functions in the Israeli case. To be more specific, I am interested in the workings of Israeli tourist practices and discourses during two key moments of Israeli military engagement: the 1967 war and subsequent onset of the Israeli military occupation and the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. My analysis in both instances focuses on a reading of popular Israeli Hebrew and English- language print media,2 with attention to the ways that Israeli newspapers represented the incursion, occupation, and/or conquest to Israeli publics in the immediate aftermath of the wartime victory (1967) and invasion (1982).

  • A Leader's Guide
    1967-2017: 50 Years | A leader’s guide This year we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War and the liberation of Jerusalem. For some – both citizens of the State of Israel and Jews around the world – this date is celebrated as the exciting reunification of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. For other segments of the population, however, it is a moment signifying the start of the occupation of Palestinians. This Jubilee of this event offers an opportunity to delve into questions of boundaries, holiness, power and its limitations, democracy, and the status of Jerusalem as a whole.

The song was commissioned by Teddy Kollek, the mayor of Jerusalem, in advance of the Israeli Song Festival in 1967. The title of the song is based on the name of a piece of jewelry on which Jerusalem of Gold is painted. According to tradition, this piece was given by the rabbinic sage, Rabbi Akiva, to his wife Rachel in appreciation for having encouraged him to study Torah.

That surfeit could equally apply to the Israeli political system, which has been called a democracy on steroids. The number of political opinions, are jokingly said to outnumber the population. Israelis span a spectrum from the far left to the rabid right, and are rarely shy about making their opinions known.

Several wept, instinctively connecting to the Wall’s tradition of mourning the destruction of the Temple and the loss of Jewish sovereignty—precisely at the moment when Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem had been restored. Several hours later, Yitzhak Yifat, a twenty-four-year-old reservist about to begin medical school, reached the Wall. As part of the brigade’s 66th Battalion, he and his friends had fought in the Six Day War’s toughest bat- tle: Intimate combat against elite Jordanian Legionnaires in the trenches of Ammunition Hill, on the road to Mount Scopus.
