Israeli Movies and TV Shows to Stream (From the Forward) Israeli Movies and TV Shows to Stream (from The Forward) New Israeli TV shows for American audiences “Our Boys”(Docudrama)Watch it on: HBO In the summer of 2014, four political murders led into a brutal 50-day conflict in the Gaza Strip. The first three victims were Jewish hitchhikers, abducted and shot by members of Hamas; the fourth was a Palestinian teenager, burned alive by Orthodox Jewish settlers. This gutting, and controversial, series by Joseph Cedar, Hagai Levi and Tawfik Abu Wael, follows the Shin Bet’s investigation into the murder of 16-year-old Muhammed Abu Khdeir and how his grieving father navigates his son’s new status as a martyr. In late August of this year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a number of right-wing groups railed against “Our Boys” for choosing to focus on Abu Khdeir, and not the murder of the hitchhikers. Israel was buzzing about this one — some defending it, and others calling it “propaganda.” Stream and decide for yourself. “Fauda” (Spy Thriller)Watch it on: Netflix 3M subscriberlayer-unavailable"><h1 class="message">An error occurred.</h1><divclass="submessage"><a hrenable JavaScript if it is disabled in your brdiv></d An Israeli hybrid of “The Shield” and “The Wire,” “Fauda” arrived in the States like a Krav Maga-chop to the jugular in late 2016. The series follows the exploits of a commander of a fictional counterterrorism unit that dresses up like Arabs to infiltrate terror cells. The group’s methods often flout protocol, and their targets are, more often than not, painted with well-drawn pathos. The same can’t always be said for the commander, Doron, who, as far as TV antiheroes go, gives Walter White and Vic Mackey a run for their shekels. Fauda’s first two seasons are already streamable on Netflix and a third is due to out early in 2020. “Shtisel” (TV drama) Watch it on: Netflix . It’s estimated (by us, the Forward’s culture correspondents) that ninety percent of rabbis will reference “Shtisel” in their shabbat sermons over the next year. The Israeli drama about Haredi Jews is the first American TV show to center on Orthodox Jews, and everyone — from people who call kippot “little hats” to Haredi Jews themselves — is addictive. If you’re fascinated by insular cultures, or you just like watching the intricacies of human behavior chafe against social systems, try “Shtisel.” The first two seasons are on Netflix with a third on the way — pending payment disputes — and the show is being adapted for American TV by Amazon Studios. “When Heroes Fly” (TV drama)Watch it on: Netflix Everything you expect from Israeli action shows, with extra spice. Four IDF veterans still reeling from the bloodshed of the 2006 Lebanon War reunite to travel to Colombia in search of one friend’s sister — and another’s ex-girlfriend — who they believed to be Israeli Movies and TV Shows to Stream (from The Forward) dead. This searing drama examines post traumatic stress disorder against an unusual backdrop — the Colombian jungle. The first season is streaming on Netflix, and a second season is in the works from Keshet. The highly-praised series is also being adapted for American TV. “The Spy” (Limited series action thriller)Watch it on: Netflix No joke. “Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen played a decorated Israeli operative with a tragic story. This six-part miniseries by “Prisoners of War” (the basis for “Homeland”) creator Gideon Raff dramatizes the life of Egyptian born-Israeli Eli Cohen, a Mossad agent who lived undercover in Syria in the 1960s. Cohen (Eli, not Sacha Baron) was so good at his job he became the chief adviser to the country’s minister of defense, and gathered intel that would prove pivotal to Israel’s success in 1967’s Six Day War. Cohen was eventually captured and hanged publicly in 1965 — the Mossad has been searching for his remains ever since. “The Spy” is now streaming on Netflix, and reviews for Baron Cohen’s performance have been raves, noting how his knack for character transformation mesh nicely with the other Cohen’s habit of disguise. The Forward liked it, too. New Israeli movies for American audiences “The Operative” (Mystery/Spy Thriller)Watch it on: Amazon Prime, Vudu, YouTube and Google Play Like a Mossad stealth unit, this came and went from theaters so quietly in August, no one — not even us! — took notice. Thankfully in this age of streaming, nothing’s gone forever. The film follows Mossad agent Rachel (Diane Kruger), who in the middle of a risky assignment to interfere with Iran’s nuclear ambitions, disappears without a trace. Well, she left one trace: a cryptic voicemail to her former handler, Thomas (Martin Freeman of “Sherlock” fame). What follows is an international scramble to find Rachel and uncover her past along the way. An international project, based on the novel “The English Teacher,” by former IDF brigadier general Yiftach Reicher Atir, the film is riding the crest of a growing wave of top European talent flocking to Israeli cinema. Reviews, however, were not so kind. “The Spider in the Web” (Mystery/Spy Thriller)Watch it on: Amazon Prime, Vudu, YouTube and Google Play Oh, Ben Kingsley. You have played Gandhi. You have played a Jew in “Schindler’s List.” You have even, recently, played Adolf Eichmann. It’s only natural that your late career should see also see you playing members of the Israeli intelligence community. You can’t be pigeonholed. In this thriller by “Lemon Tree” director Eran Riklis, Kingsley plays aging Mossad agent Aderath, who must connect the dots between a mysterious contact (Monica Bellucci) and a company producing chemical weapons for the Syrians. He is hindered — and later aided — in his quest by the son of his old colleague (Itay Teran), who the Mossad has tasked with looking over his shoulder. Set in Belgium and Israeli Movies and TV Shows to Stream (from The Forward) shot in English and Hebrew, this thriller takes the Israeli spy genre international. Though, we must confess, it’s seldom thrilling, and often just confusing. “The Angel” (Docudrama/Thriller)Watch it on: Netflix your browser.</div></div> Flipping the script on a familiar formula, “The Angel” tells the true story of an unlikely Israeli asset. Ashraf Marwan (Marwan Kenzari), the son-in-law of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, became an informant for the Israeli government. It was Marwan who tipped the Israelis off to the stirrings of the Yom Kippur War, allowing the IDF to mobilize and thwart a complete takeover of the Golan Heights. Some believe that Marwan was in fact a double agent for the Egyptians, but this film, which received mixed reviews — with some in the Israeli press disappointed by how it failed to meet the excitement and drama of true events — chooses to claim Marwan as an Israeli hero. Heck, it even seems to give Marwan credit for the Camp David Accords. While not altogether effective as a spy film, “The Angel” does deliver as a quick primer on a fascinating character and his little known legacy. “Red Sea Diving Resort” (Feature film drama)Watch it on: Netflix In the early 1980s Israeli Mossad agents, posing as Swiss hoteliers, rented a Sudanese beach resort, turned it into a tourist destination, and used it as a front to shuttle Ethiopian Jews — who had been starved and brutalized after the 1974 Ethiopian coup — onto “tourism boats,” which smuggled them to waiting naval ships, then on to Israel. If you can un-stick your white knuckles, pass the popcorn — it’s a story that seems destined for the screen. Written and directed by Gideon Raff, the Chris Evans vehicle is a little squirmy. Strong, white, English-speaking “Israelis” accept hugs and thanks in broken English from Ethiopians — it’s a funny way to tell a story about a group of people so brave they escaped their home for a country they did not know. “Tel Aviv On Fire” (Feature film satire)Watch it: Anywhere you can rent movies A hit at the Venice International Film Festival, this comedy satire about a Palestinian who lives in East Jerusalem and works on the set of a soap opera has a major plot point that hinges on hummus, and a great score on Rotten Tomatoes to boot. Forget the title’s implication that this will be a bloody slog through intractable conflict — it’s cheerfully cutting. New adaptations of Israeli stuff for Americans “Emmis”(TV adaptation of “Shtisel”)Watch it (when it comes out) on: Amazon Prime Where to watch the original: Netflix Don’t believe us that much of America has “Shtisel”-fever? None other than Marta Kauffman, the co-creator of “Friends,” has signed on to retell the story of an ultra- Orthodox family for American audiences. Kauffman will collaborate with her daughter on “Emmis” (the Yiddish word for “truth”), which will place the “Shtisel”-like story of an ultra- Orthodox family in Brooklyn. There’s no release date yet, but we do hope the show Israeli Movies and TV Shows to Stream (from The Forward) opens by panning over yeshiva boys’ faces while someone sings the words, “So no one told you life was gonna be this way…” “The Baker and the Beauty” (TV adaptation of “Beauty and the Baker”)Watch it (when it comes out) on: ABC Watch the original on: Amazon Prime “Beauty and the Baker,” from Keshet, is one of Israel’s sunniest, shiniest, most CW- style exports. Titled “Being With Her” in Hebrew, the comedy follows a courtship between a Bar Rafaeli-type bombshell (played by outspoken Israeli lawyer Rotem Sela) and a joe-schmo Mizrahi baker.

We are commited to responsibly representing the views of each individual author. Every quarter we aim to publish a full and balanced spectrum of media exploring Jewish identity and social issues. The opinions presented in this journal do not always represent the collective opinion of Leviathan’s staff, the organized Jewish community, or the University of California.

  • Engaging Adolescents in Treatment
    Engaging Adolescents in Treatment “Assisting adolescents to reflect on their current situation and experiences and helping them to envision a positive future may promote motivation to change, especially among those who have ‘been there, done that’ and are willing to look ahead.” Janet C. Titus, Susan H. Godley, and Michelle K. White A Post-Treatment Examination of Adolescents’ Reasons for Starting, Quitting, and Continuing the Use of Drugs and Alcohol To successfully identify and treat adolescents with traumatic stress and substance abuse, clinicians must continually explore better ways to encourage their participation in treatment. This is particularly important in mental health and substance abuse service systems, where these teens present a unique set of challenges. Adolescents with both traumatic stress and substance abuse often have complex histories and numerous additional problems that make them particularly difficult to treat. Although empirically-based treatment interventions offer adolescents a good chance of success in overcoming a variety of psychological problems, many youth fail to obtain treatment, and those who enter treatment often terminate prematurely. Clinicians who work with adolescents encounter a series of challenges when trying to engage youth who have histories of traumatic stress and substance abuse. Most adolescents do not enter treatment voluntarily and are often apprehensive about the process. Furthermore, substance abusing adolescents, much like their adult counterparts, often have a hard time making positive changes in their use patterns. To provide effective services, these challenges and barriers must be addressed. Identifying and Encouraging Youth to Seek Help Teens tend not to seek out professional help for a variety of reasons.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • Export Statt Exodus
    Bild nur in Printausgabe verfügbar Export statt Exodus Winfried Schumacher | Kleines Land mit großer Kultur: Israels Künstler, Autoren und Filmemacher sind weltweit gefragt. Mit Verve, Chuzpe und Selbst ironie widmen sie sich dem komplizierten Leben in einem von Krieg, Terror und politischen Grabenkämpfen gebeutelten Land. Die Schroffheit und Verletzlichkeit ihrer Alltagshelden kommt auch im Ausland an. Sie feilen an ihren Fingernägeln, kochen Kaffee für den Vorgesetzten, schred- dern nie gelesene Akten und räumen Minenfelder höchstens auf Minesweeper. Die Uniformen der Soldatinnen sitzen schlecht und ihre Knarren sind nichts als lästige Accessoires. Was die israelische Regisseurin Talya Lavie in ihrem Filmdebüt „Zero Motivation“ zeigt, ist gähnende Langeweile in einer Militär- basis. Und doch sorgte die schwarze Komödie in Israel für einen der größten Kinoerfolge der vergangenen Jahre. Keine Kassam-Raketen, keine Konfliktanalysen und schon gar keine Kriegshelden sind in „Zero Motivation“ zu sehen. Mit bösem Witz und mes- serscharfem Blick auf den öden Alltag im Lager beobachtet Lavie das Leben einer Gruppe von Soldatinnen in der Negev-Wüste. Sie zählen die Tage bis 58 IP Länderporträt • 2 / 2016 Export statt Exodus zum Ende ihres Militärdiensts und träumen vom Partyleben in Tel Aviv. Der glorreiche Einsatz für das Land der Väter bedeutet für sie nur das Absitzen von Dienstanweisungen lächerlicher Rangoberer. Wer kein Hebräisch spricht und nie eine israelische Militärbasis von innen gesehen hat – erst recht, wer noch nie in Israel war – wird den Humor eines großen Teiles der Dialoge auch mit englischen Untertiteln nicht ganz verste- hen. Zu vielschichtig und kulturspezifisch ist der Schlagabtausch. Dennoch wurde der Film auf dem Tribeca Film Festival als bester Film ausgezeichnet und erregte das Interesse von BBC America.

  • From Humble Beginnings to a Leader in Child and Family Care
    ® WINTER 2017 Boys Town, Yesterday and Today From Humble Beginnings to a Leader in Child and Family Care ecember 12, 1917, was a chilly day in Omaha, Nebraska. Passers-by hurried along the D downtown streets, their thoughts perhaps on Christmas, only two weeks away, and the preparations they still needed to make. Or, maybe they were wondering how the holidays would be different this year, with America now involved in the Great War being waged on the battlefields of Europe. In all the hustle and bustle, no one paid much attention to the tall, bespectacled priest who was shepherding several ragamuffin boys along the sidewalk. When the little group reached a somewhat run-down Victorian-style boardinghouse, the priest confidently strode to the front door, unlocked it and bade his young charges to enter. Once inside, he turned to the cluster of expectant faces and welcomed the boys Over a proud history spanning 100 years, Boys Town has provided life-changing love and care for America’s children! to their new home.

  • How Are the Major Streaming Services Reshaping the Film Industry
    How Are the Major Streaming Services Reshaping the Film Industry Master Thesis MSc Strategy, Organization and Leadership Submission: May 9th, 2018 Normal pages: 106 (237.228 characters incl. spaces) Supervisor: Mehran Moghaddas (DVIP, INT) Students: Viktoria Vas & Gerda Binkyte Copenhagen Business School 2018 Abstract The paper examines the effects major streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon, HBO have on the Danish film industry, and seeks to identify how individual producers and independent production companies in the country can exploit the rising opportunities. The research used a mix of deductive and inductive reasoning in the analysis, for which twelve semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with industry professionals from Denmark over the course of five weeks. This led to insightful findings that can be used for further researches for both academics and professionals. The analysis built on theories discussed in the literature review; Porter’s five forces (Porter, 1979), supply chain, emerging strategy (Mintzberg, 1987), marketing mix, four trajectories of change (McGahan, 2004). The findings include changes in certain links in the supply chain of film production, such as; affects on producers and film financing, changes in sales and distribution. While for producers SVOD services mainly bring additional financing opportunities, decreasing the power of DFI and the national broadcasters, sales agents and distribution is highly affected. Sales agents will need to adapt to the changing conditions, and transform themselves from traditional sales agents to agents who offer extra services for their clients. Distribution is affected in a way that its release windows system is disrupted and shortening some of these windows might not be avoided in the future.

Bringing my work to fruition would not have been possible without the support of mentors, colleagues, friends, and loved ones. It would also not have been possible without interviewees who took the time to share their insights with me. To all of them, I am indebted and express my gratitude. As part of my work and PhD program at the University of Texas at Austin I got to interact with inspiring people who taught me a great deal. First, I would like to thank my dissertation adviser, Stephen Reese, for his mentorship. Dr. Reese taught me how to think conceptually by encouraging me to explicate concepts and to identify connections between them. By so doing, he made it possible for me to offer theoretical advancement.
