Jeremy Gimbel's film, HATIKVAH, is the Jewish documentary of the year. Through an honest and thoughtful inspection of people's perceptions and connections to Israel's National Athem, Gimbel reveals a delicately nuanced story of a Jewish people, living under different flags in different countries, striving to define their relationship with Israel.
Simple questions lead to complex answers as the knotted threads of Jewish history, culture, family, politics and legacies are teased apart by Jews from all walks of life. HATIKVAH will leave viewers a little raw, a little challenged and extremely inspired. It's the kind of film you carry around with you for months.
Saturday, October 24th at 7:30 PM at 1200 N. La Brea. This screening is free and open to all. We will also be having havdalah. RSVP to staff@kol-ami.org or 323-606-0996.

This is a riveting novel about a conflicted young Orthodox Jewish girl growing up in the late '50s in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She faces two problems: the highly restrictive rituals of a rigid family and the condescending attitude of the Williamsburg Orthodox world toward girls.
Her awakening and breaking of the chains holding her down is the focus of the book. Rose, the older of two daughters, seems to become aware of gender prejudice at the age of four when she attempts to repeat the blessing her father is making over wine at the seder. Instead of being charmed by this four-year-old's attempt to recite a prayer, the family is outraged.
