Footnote Saturday, July 27 6:00-9:30 pm
Talmud scholar Eliezer Shkolnik (Shlomo Bar-Aba) has worked in obscurity at Jerusalem's Hebrew University. In contrast, Eliezer's son, Uriel (Lior Ashkenazi), also an academic, has published many books and received numerous accolades. Eliezer looks down on his son's achievements and pursuit of fame, and so the pair have a rocky relationship. Their rivalry comes to a head when Eliezer receives word that he has won a prestigious award.
The evening will begin with dinner (vegetarian options will be available) and conversation. Shabbat concludes with Havdalah and then the movie begins! The film will be followed by a short discussion.
