This Wednesday, June 18 (Sivan 15), at 7:30 PM, the film will return to the Upper West Side of Manhattan, for a screening at Congregation Ohab Zedek, at 118 W. 95th St.  A discussion will follow, titled “The Early Years & Later Years of the Rav”.  It will feature R. Allen Schwartz, Rabbi of Ohab Zedek and a student of the Rav in the 80s, and R. Shalom Rephun, who was in one of the Rav's first classes.  I will also participate in the discussion.  To order tickets online, click here (be sure to mention in the form that you're paying for the screening).  For more information, click here or call 212-749-5150.  The Facebook event is here.

NEW: I mentioned a June 22 (Sivan 19) screening in Woodmere, NY (Long Island), but at this point it looks like it has been postponed.  Unfortunately, we've been having trouble getting information from the shul.  If it turns out that I'm wrong, I'll be sure to send out another email.

  

I'd appreciate it if you could forward this email to anyone else who might be interested in this information.  And here's a link to the Facebook group for the film.

 

On June 1st (Iyyar 27) there was a special Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day) screening in Zurich, Switzerland, at Congregation Tiferet Israel.  Rabbi Aaron Adler, their congregational leader, who was a shamash (assistant) of the Rav in the '70s spoke afterwards.  About 100 people turned out, which I understand is very good for that community.

 

I hear that there was a more modest crowd at the mid-week post-Shavuot screening at the Jerusalem Cinematheque.  Thank you to everyone who came out for that screening.
