J ls , ! < ^ \/{ i± £ % a ^ f£± Did you hear the people sing, singing the songs... from this years Beit Hillel production of “Les Miserables”? If not you certainly missed out. During the cold month of January, 70 students from the cast and crew of this critically acclaimed musical left seven sold out audiences (approx. 1,500 people) begging for more “...at the end of the play.” After a mere two and half months of intense rehearsals under the direction of Michael Berl, the cast of about 50 students proudly belted out songs, “..filling the [theater] darkness with order and light”, enhanced by their impoverished clothing, dirty make-up, and of course the infamous barricade built by crew members, able to hold at least 10 actors at a time. As smoothly as the shows often went, the high quality professional caliber of the cast shined through as most of the cast filled the stage, sweetly singing, “Drink with m e... to days... gone by. Sing with m e... the songs... we knew....” BLACKOUT. Yes indeed, the city of Jerusalem accidentally cut the power in several Hebrew University buildings on the night of January 13th, in the midst of the Act II, leaving a frightened cast with the responsibility of entertaining over 200 audience members in the dark. This they did. Kol ha’kavod to the cast of “Les Miserables”, and we ask that everyone “Raise a glass” to their success. - Zack Lasker ‘Les Miz,’ as only in Israel Excerpt of article by Sam Orbaum in Jerusalem Post Monday, January 18, <strong>1999</strong>: If you’ve seen Les Miserables anywhere in the world, I guarantee it was nothing like the performance I saw on Wednesday. The kids of Beit Hillel were putting on a fine show at Hebrew University on Mount Scopus, when something happened. It’s always interesting to see how performers react when things go awry, and boy, things did. . We had just settled into the second act. The students, doing a story about students, were getting through the program very nicely, and the sold-out audience was lapping it up. They had just Finished the song, “Drink With Me.” At that moment, according to the synopsis,, “the students settle down for a night on the barricades,” and the lights went out. Nice touch, I thought. “/ liked it best when Michael Berl said ‘that’s a wrap’ backstage after our last performance... it was truly an emotional moment fo r me.’'’ - Cooper “Javer” Grodin The cast of Les Miserables
^ u u e ? by Natan Hay man Thank you, Tal, for teaching us about light, shutter speed, and how NOT to take pictures with the lens cap on. W hile being harassed by an Arab salesman, selling kafiyas, taking pictures of noisy American tourists, wondering is Jesus was really buried at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and casually strolling the M uslim meat market (were those human brains?) I had a great time getting to know you all. After capturing Jerusalem ’s unique sights and personality through your camera lens you are taking home memories from your year in Israel. Most im portantly - keep on shooting!
