Let's Go to the Movies!

Hollywood, An Empire of their Own

Thursday, June 12, 7:00 PM

Produced by Arts and Entertainment, and based on a best-selling book by Neal Gabler with the title "An Empire of their Own; How the Jews Invented Hollywood."   The video provides the inside story of how Jewish moguls, who were almost all immigrants from Eastern Europe or their children, created the great Hollywood studios and produced the movies which brought drama, comedy, laughter and tears to hundreds of millions of people and defined American culture for decades.  There is plenty of footage in the video from the golden age of Hollywood.  The video also raises the question of why the Jewish moguls chose to avoid Jewish issues in their movies.  The video will be followed by a group discussion led by Rabbi Goldman on the Jewish Influence in American popular culture.

Broadway Musicals, A Jewish Legacy

Thursday, July 10, 7:00 PM

Produced by PBS.  Tap your feet and hum along as we watch segments of the most endearing Broadway musicals, and learn the story of how Jewish composers, lyricists, and producers created the beloved songs and stage performances which are uniquely American and Jewish in form and message.  The video will be followed by a group discussion led by Rabbi Goldman on the topic (and obligations) of the Jews as a gifted people.
