big differences<br />

Inspiring stories and<br />

practical ideas<br />

Sometimes we see the problems<br />

of the world and they seem so<br />

overwhelming, we wonder what we<br />

can do. Join us for a chance to hear<br />

from some of our congregants who<br />

have made changes big and small and<br />

each one has changed the world.<br />

12th <strong>September</strong><br />

Walk on Water (2005, 104 minutes)<br />

The Sabra and the Shoah – The end of the dream?<br />

Eyal is an agent in Mossad, the Israeli security service and the agency decides that he needs to take on<br />

a less challenging assignment: to find an aging Nazi war criminal and get him "before God does".<br />

10th October<br />

The Flat (2012, 97 minutes)<br />

The Holocaust in Israeli Cinema and culture<br />

At age 98, director Goldfinger's grandmother passed away, leaving him the task of clearing<br />

out the Tel Aviv flat that she and her husband shared for decades since immigrating from Nazi<br />

Germany in the 1930s. What starts to take shape reflects nothing less than the troubled and<br />

taboo story of three generations of Germans - both Jewish and non-Jewish - trying to piece<br />

together the puzzle of their lives in the aftermath of the terrible events of World War II.<br />

14th November Mizrahi Immigration to Israel<br />

Baba Joon (2015, 91 minutes)<br />

The first ever Persian-language film shot in Israel, “Baba Joon,” Israel’s Best Foreign Film<br />

submission to the Academy Awards and the winner of five Israeli “Oscars,” is a universal<br />

story about intergenerational conflict. The film tells the story of Yitzhak, a Jewish-<br />

Iranian immigrant who ekes out a living on a turkey farm in Israel’s Negev desert.<br />

12th December Gotta be Happy” – Yiddish humor in America<br />

The Komediant (2004, 85 Minutes)<br />
