Steven Spielberg caused an uproar in the Jewish community when he
decided to make a feature film “inspired by” the massacre of the
Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972. At question was

the subsequent Mossad operation and his decision to hand the screenplay over to
playwright Tony Kushner, an outspoken critic of

“Ushpizin is a
ground-breaking, enjoyable, and original movie that humanizes and dramatizes
the haredi lifestyle. It will surely appeal to many viewers who do not

enlighten them.” -- Hannah Brown, The A Support Group for People Coping

Tale of Love and Darkness A Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review:
“This memoir/family history brims over with riches: metaphors and poetry,
drama and comedy, failure and success, unhappy marriages and a wealth of
idiosyncratic characters…all painted lovingly and with humor…set
against the background of an embattled Palestine during WW II, the jubilation
after the U.N. vote to partition Palestine and create a Jewish state, the
violence and deprivations of Israel's war of independence and the months-long
Arab siege of Jerusalem. This is a powerful, nimbly constructed saga of a man,
a family and a nation forged in the crucible of a difficult, painful
history.” Bring a dairy or pareve lunch and we’ll provide drinks
and dessert. For more information, contact Froma at 303-998-1900 ext. 5 or at Froma@boulderjcc.org PJ Party Story Time:
