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, October 7, November 18, January 13, February 10 and March 2.
Wednesday, October 7, 7:00 PM Sallah Shaba (1964) The immense post‐independence immigra on to Israel of North African Jews is underway. His enormous family in tow, Sallah arrives in Israel and encounters the mother of all bureaucracies, Ashkenazi kibbutzniks who actually expect him to work, and a country that basically considers him a second class Jew. Writer/Director Kishon was one of Israeli’s greatest sa rists.
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 of 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, October 19, 7:00 PM : Literary An ‐Semi sm; From Chaucer to Eliot Monday, October 26, 7:00 PM: Racial An ‐Semi sm; Hitler and his Antecedents 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 three great Jewish pianists, each from a different country: Arnaldo Cohen from Brazil, Joseph Kalichstein from Israel and Vladimir Feltsman from Russia. They will play major works from throughout the classical piano repertoire, represen ng the breadth of Jewish pianis c accomplishment. Open to the community! Bring your friends!
