Gatekeepers, Sharon delves into Israel's prime minister's personality with emotional and private footage that reveals Sharon's thought process in his later years. Considered among the last of Israel's founding fathers, Sharon (1929-2014) fought in every Israeli military conflict in the first three decades of the state. As a military general, he helped turn the tide of the Yom Kippur War with Egypt in 1973. As defense minister, he directed the 1982 Lebanon War where he bore responsibility for the massacre of Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon.

of our Torahs. He indicated that the Torahs stored in the chapel were beginning to show signs of mold due to dampness. Examination of the ark in the chapel showed that there was a serious lack of insulation causing moisture to accumulate. Howard Mittleman was hired to reconstruct the ark and install insulation and Steve Cohen will be replacing the cloth coverings. While the chapel ark provides many warm memories of our former shul, it is now also warm to the touch.
