Movies

Last Thursday night a couple of dozen Oak Parkers met up in conference room 1 and watched "Someone to Run With" a really interesting Israeli movie presented by our Adult Education Committee. Two more Israeli movies will be shown this summer. You won't be wasting your time if you join us!

WALK ON WATER
Thursday, July 23, 2009 7p
This enthralling award-winning film by internationally-acclaimed director Eytan Fox explores the motives, strengths, and, ultimately, the humanity of an Israeli assassin sent to rectify a wrong committed five decades earlier. Excellent performances, intelligent script, and quiet tension will draw you into this thoughtful and emotionally nuanced movie. In English, with a few subtitled scenes in Hebrew and German. --Bret Fetzer

Hill Halfon is a good-hearted satire movie about the IDF which tells the story of an Israeli reserve company.. Set in the Sinai on the border of Israel and Egypt, this riotous tale of mischief and mishaps features Israel's top comic trio Hagashash (Poli, Shaika and Gavri), Tuvia Tzafir and many other acclaimed Israeli comedy stars.

Black tie event

Last night was the Black Tie Farwell to Rabbi Gerson. It was a wonderful evening. A great view of the "fire" on Michigan Ave started the event. Everyone looked great all dressed up, and the heartfelt speech made by Hank Stein was the highlight of the night. Good food, good folks, good conversation.... what else can you want?

Make sure and join us on July 31 when Rabbi Gerson leads his last serivce, which will be preceeded by a Middle Eastern Dinner.
