Join the Introducation to Jewish Civilization course for a special screening.

Footnote (2011 / 107 min.) - Directed by Joseph Cedar (Original title: Hearat Shulayim)

"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, at long last, he is the recipient of the prestigious Israeli Prize."

The viewing will be facilitated by Dr. Ayala Hendin of the Jewish, Islamic, and Middle Eastern Studies department
