Israel Through Film Cinema is big in Israel. Israelis love the movies and, for its size, Israel produces a lot of them. Art, by its very nature, is a way of looking at something, and in these sessions we will see what we can learn about Israel through its films: how do Israelis see themselves, how do Israelis see the world, and on why do Israeli filmmakers make the films they do? Some mes, films reinforce the historical narra ve with which we are familiar; other mes, films stand that narra‐ ve on its head. We will watch and discuss examples of both. Current Israeli cinema frequently makes it to America – films like Beaufort, Ushpizin and Waltz with Bashir were shown widely. But these five selec ons, all about 90 minutes long, in Hebrew with English sub tles, are li le seen today. As part of the Israeli canon, however, they were popular, influen al and significant in their day. Rabbi Kulwin will introduce each screening and lead a discussion a erward. Dates are Wednesdays, November 18, January 13, February 10 & March 2.
Wednesday, November 18, 7:00 PM Hill 24 Doesn’t Answer (1955) O en called Israel’s first feature film, and set during the War of Independence, the drama Hill 24 tells the tale of four young Israeli soldiers on the way to defend a strategic hill overlooking Jerusalem. It is a film based on a bold, patrio c theme
Wednesday, January 13, 7:00 PM Hill Halfon Doesn’t Answer (1976) A li le John Wayne, li le MASH, and a lot of Marx Brothers, Hill Halfon pokes fun at army life though it’s more in‐ terested in the army as a backdrop for slaps ck. The actors include Hagashach Hashiver, an Israeli comedy trio akin, in their day, to Mar n and Lewis.
History Through Text with Rabbi Kulwin First Series for 2015‐2016: Varie es of An ‐Semi sm. Historians teach us that an ‐Semi sm takes different forms: Hitler prac ced racial an ‐Semi sm, Shakespeare wrote literary an ‐Semi sm, and Spanish Jews suffered from the religious an ‐Semi sm of the Inquisi on. In these sessions we will read first hand documents including The Mer‐ chant of Venice, Mein Kampf and various Chris an texts. As we explore the different an ‐Semi sms, we will discuss their similari es and differences, as well as reach an understanding of how best to define the phenomenon.
Monday, November 2, 7:00 PM: Religious An ‐Semi sm; Chris anity and Israel on the Jews Monday, November 9, 7:00 PM: Economic An ‐Semi sm; Bernard Baruch and the Interna onal Jewish Conspiracy Monday, November 16, 7:00 PM: What is An ‐Semi sm?

The Jewish Legacy of the Piano...A Year of Celebra on A Series of Solo Piano Recitals featuring Three of the World's Foremost Ar sts A list of world‐renowned Jewish pianists might begin with just Vladimir Horowitz and Arthur Rubinstein but would quickly reach into the hundreds. As an examina on of concert programs from the world’s great concert halls would show, the history of piano virtuosity cannot be separated from Jewish history, so significant and influen al have Jew‐ ish pianists been. This year we celebrate this rela onship with solo piano recitals by these great Jewish pianists, each from a different country. Joseph Kalichstein from Israel on Sunday, November 22 , 3:00 PM and Vladimir Feltsman from Russia, on Sunday, March 20, 3:00 PM . They will play major works from throughout the classical piano reper‐ toire, represen ng the breadth of Jewish pianis c accomplishment. Open to the community! Bring your friends! This series is underwri en by the Ann & Milton Colman/Samuel A. Cohen Fund. Admission fees per recital: Members and students $18 General admission: $25 Order ckets online or send in a check to the temple.
Joseph Kalichstein, Sunday, November 22, 3:00 PM Pianist Joseph Kalichstein, born in Tel Aviv in 1946, came to the United States in 1962. He studied piano with Joshua Shor in Israel and Edward Steuermann and Ilo‐ na Kabos at the Juilliard School in New York. In 1967, two years prior to gaining a master's degree at Juilliard, he made his New York recital debut and won the Young Concert Ar sts' Award. In 1968 he appeared on na onal television in his first guest appearance with the New York Philharmonic, under the direc on of Leonard Bernstein. He then took first prize‐‐unanimously awarded by a jury that included George Szell, Rudolf Serkin, and William Steinberg‐‐in the 1969 Leventri Compe on. In 1970 he made his debut with the London Symphony under André Previn. Acclaimed for the hear elt intensity and technical mastery of his playing, pianist Joseph Kalichstein enthralls audiences throughout the United States and Europe, winning equal praise as orchestral soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. With his diverse repertoire of works ranging from Mozart, Bee‐ thoven and Brahms to 20th‐century music by Bartók, Prokofiev and others, Kalichstein has collaborated with such celebrated conductors as Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, James Conlon, Christoph von Dohnányi, Charles Dutoit, Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, Leonard Slatkin, Edo de Waart, David Zinman and Lawrence Foster. Joseph Kalichstein is a founding member of the famed Kalichstein‐Laredo‐Robinson Piano Trio. Kalichstein has been a frequent chamber music coach, and, since 1983, a member of the faculty of the Juilliard School. In 2003 he was appointed to Juilliard's newly established Edwin S. and Nancy A. Marks Chair in Chamber Music Studies. Program Chopin: Ballade No. 2 (1849, dedicated to Schumann) Schumann: Kreisleriana (1849, dedicated to Chopin) Intermission Brahms: Varia ons on a theme by Schumann Mendelssohn: Fantasy, opus 28 Brahms: 3 Hungarian Dances (2 arranged for piano by Brahms, one by Kalichstein)
