Because of the death of Rabbi Berel Wein, out of respect for him, we have canceled the Movie Matinee week scheduled for this week, Tuesday, August 19. We will present the film in the future.
We are pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, August 19 we will present the award-winning, highly acclaimed film STALAG 17.
This excellent film has been called a comedy, a mystery. a war movie, a drama and/or all of the above. Mostly it is a film classic. It is a gripping yet humorous story of Americans in a German Prisoner of War camp during World War II. The screenplay was written by two former American servicemen who had been captured and held in a POW camp.
There is something wrong, terribly wrong, in the prisoner barracks. The Germans always know ahead of time about any planned escape and anything else happening among the prisoners. In the most recent escape attempt, the two men walked straight into a trap. They were killed. It is clear that there is a spy leaking information to the camp commandant. But who is it? The search for the leaker is an award-winning, simply superb movie.
William Holden won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Billy Wilder was nominated for Best Director. This is a very special movie.
The Movie Matinee is at 2:00. The film is two hours in length. The film is in English and it has English subtitles.
There will be a brief introduction of the film and a short talk and discussion after the screening. There will be an essay about the movie provided to attendees.
There will be refreshments. No reservations are required.
Beit Knesset Hanassi is located at 24 Ussishkin Street. The admission is 20 shekels for members of the shul and 30 shekels for non-members.
If you can please bring the exact change, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
