See Get Low at the Bijou - Sunday at Noon, 9/5/10
It is a tradition to hold a special midnight service on the Saturday before Rosh Hashana. It is known as the Selichot or forgiveness service.In the Ad Olam way we have slightly altered the tradition. Rabbi Hanan has arranged a special showing of the Movie Get Low. Below is a link to the EW review, although Hanan says it really doesn't quite get it. Hanan sees it as a profound story of shame, guilt, forgiveness and redemption. He thought that you might appreciate this film of High Holy Day themes during this time leading up to the Holidays. The special showing will be for Ad Olam and friends at the Bijou this Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010 at noon. Cost will be $5 per person but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The doors open at 11:40 and the concession stand will be open. A discussion will follow the show near by. The location will be announced at the show.
