August 31, 7:30 pm in honor of Selichot Temple Sholom in Broomall will be showing “Hava Nagila” (The Movie) followed by Selichot services at approximately 9:30pm At a life cycle event we can often expect certain things....one we wait for, is the Hora and dancing to Hava Nagila. In that same way as we enter the synagogue for the High Holy Days we feel a sense of return and connection. We know that it is again time to look inward and to reconnect with our community. Hava Nagila (The Movie) is a documentary romp through the history, mystery and meaning of the great Jewish standard. Featuring interviews with Harry Belafonte, Leonard Nimoy, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Regina Spektor and more, the film follows the ubiquitous party song on its fascinating journey from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the kibbutzim of Palestine to the cul-de-sacs of America. High on fun and entertainment, Hava Nagila (The Movie) is also surprisingly profound, tapping into universal themes about the importance of joy, the power of music and the resilient spirit of a people. Following the film we will discuss the power of that feeling of reconnecting with our hearts to those things that bring us comfort. Here is a clip of what is to come... youtube/watch?v=dCKjy_kQApg
