Dear Friends,
We hope to see our LA friends at the screenings tonight (Yiddish Theater for women only - sorry guys) and tomorrow (open and FREE for all). Tomorrow is a rare opportunity to catch Dan's romantic and poignant classic Out for Love... Be Bach Shortly. It aired on HBO on Valentine's Day and was narrated by Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) when it aired on Channel 4 in the UK. See reminder of (corrected) address and time below.
We have a busy screenings schedule over the next few months: Back by popular demand Yiddish is playing again in New York City and Miami so be sure to tell your friends in these areas. See details below! Praying will be playing at the Austin Jewish Film Festival on January 25th and the San Diego Jewish Film Festival on February 14th. Look for updated info in our January newsletter.

SYNOPSIS: Dan Katzir's autobiographical film expresses the outcry of his generation, as it struggles to find love and privacy amidst the reality of daily terror and hate. This film is also an important historic document with rare and shocking footage from the era of assassinated Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin. The film is a unique Israeli classic which has garnered over 13 International Awards across the globe in numerous film festivals and a nomination for an Israeli Academy award. It aired on many TV stations including HBO in the US, Channel 4 – UK, Franc2 and Shanghai TV, to name a few.
The Struggle of the Women of the Wall for Freedom of Worship in Israel
Produced by Dan Katzir and Ravit Markus
“Contains passages that convey with nerve-wracking immediacy the level of passion and intimidation that Orthodox Jews of the Holy City can muster... profoundly unsettling.”
- Michael Fox/Jewish News Weekly of Northern CA
