Yom HaAtzmaut: Israeli TV Series "A Touch Away" (viewing and discussion)

Tuesday - Apr 20, 2010

Time: 8:00 PM

Contact: Sally Kram

We will screen DVD episodes 1 and 2 from the Israeli TV Series "A Touch Away". The plot summary is as follows:

Zorik, a Russian, moves into Bnai Barak, a highly religious Jewish community in Israel. He falls in love with the next door neighbor, Rochele. She is orthodox and very religious so she refuses to accept Zorik's advances to or even talk to Zorik. However, after a series of events, the bond between them grows and a lot of trouble ensues (because of their forbidden love). There is also a sub plot of both Zorik and Rochele's families, which adds substance to the series.

Following the 2 episodes (approx 1 hour) Eric Zakim, our Israeli Film Festival moderator, will lead a discussion about it.

The program is an extension of our Israeli Film Festival event and is presented at no charge.
