[Jewish] Jewish Film Festival on Campus: Two Israeli Films

[Steven Nathan]

*_Israeli Films at Hampshire -- part of the Pioneer Valley Jewish Film 
Festival

Saint Clara_ -- Tuesday April 8, 8:00 PM, West Lecture Hall FPH*
A futuristic Israeli film about a clairvoyant 7th grader named Clara, a 
Russian immigrant to a small town in the Negev. The town is thrown into 
a tumult by her arrival. Clara must deal with her fame as a fortune 
teller, forced to choose whether to lose her gifts in return for the 
love of the local rebel hunk or to keep her mystical powers.

*_Trumpet in the Wadi_ -- Wednesday April 9, 8:00 PM, Main Lecture Hall FPH*
Alex and Huda are lovers and outsiders in Israeli society - Alex is a 
new immigrant from Russia and Huda an Arab woman from Haifa. She works 
in a Jewish travel agency and reads Hebrew poetry; he plays the trumpet 
marvelously. An impossible love story that can be described as a Middle 
Eastern nod to Romeo and Juliet


*Both films are free to all 5 College students.  So please invite your 
friends as well!*

"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."

-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
