TEMPLE EMANUEL PROUDLY PRESENTS….A SUMMER JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL. SUNDAYS AT 4 PM

JULY 5, 2018 – “BERNSTEIN-LARGER THAN LIFE”

This recently released documentary explores Leonard Bernstein’s various facets, as a conductor, a composer, a pianist and most of all a teacher and how he influenced so many people. It includes interviews of his children, former conductor students, orchestra members, collaborators and other acquaintances.

It is the 100^th anniversary of the birth of Leonard Bernstein. He was one of the first world-famous American-born conductors and composers.

His best known works include the musicals “On the Town”, “Candide and “West Side Story”. His religious themed works show his struggle with his Jewish heritage and universal questions of faith.

We also hope to have a short live concert of some of Bernstein’s compositions.

Join us for this Temple Emanuel Lakeland tribute and be a part of the Bernstein Centennial Celebration!

July 15, 2018 – “DOUGH”

In this 2015 comedy/drama curmudgeonly widower, Nat Dayan, clings to his way of life as a Kosher bakery shop owner in London’s East End. Understaffed, Nat reluctantly enlists the help of teenager who has a secret side gig selling marijuana to help his immigrant mother make ends meet. When Ayyash accidentally drops his stash into the mixing dough, the challah starts flying off the shelves and an unlikely friendship forms between the old Jewish baker and his young Muslim apprentice. “DOUGH “is a warmhearted and humorous story about overcoming prejudice and finding redemption in unexpected places.

July 29, 2018 – “G.I. JEWS: Jewish Americans In World War II”

This documentary tells the story of the 550,000 Jewish American men and women who fought in World War II. In their own words, veterans both famous (director Mel Brooks, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger) and unknown share their war experiences: how they fought for their nation and people, struggled with anti-Semitism within their ranks, and emerged transformed.

Join us for this event as we also celebrate some of Temple Emanuel’s veterans as we hear their stories.

August 5, 2018 – “SNOW IN AUGUST”

Based on the New York Times best selling novel by Pete Hamill featuring a young boy from an Irish Catholic neighborhood of Brooklyn in 1947. The film follows the unlikely friendship that evolves between 11-year-old Michael and a Czechoslovakian Rabbi that stirs up the wrath of a local Irish gang from Michael’s neighborhood. Adding to Michael’s burden is the fact that he has witnessed a gang administer a bloody beating to a local Jewish merchant, frightening him into silence. The solution to Michael’s problem manifests itself in his growing fascination with the legend of “the Golem,” the vengeful statue that was supposed to have protected the Prague Ghetto from persecution centuries before — and also hinges upon the boy’s adoration of the movie-serial hero Captain Marvel .
