Sisterhood Movie Night

Tuesday, September 9th - 7:00 PM

Sisterhood is proud to present Hava Nagila (The Movie) on Tuesday, September 9^th at 7:00 pm at the home of Mollie Savage.

Featuring interviews with Harry Belafonte, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Leonard Nimoy, Regina Spektor and more, Hava Nagila (The Movie) follows the song from theshtetls of Eastern Europe to the kibbutzim of Palestine to the cul-de-sacs of America.  It excavates the layers of cultural complexity with humor, depth and heart – traveling the distance between the Holocaust to Dick Dale and his surf guitar, sometimes in the same sentence.  It also dissects the proliferation of pop culture references to Hava Nagila in film and TV and brings the song up to the present, where it’s a rallying tune at sports games, a hot dance number in nightclubs and a global hit online.

The resulting film not only entertains us and makes us laugh; but it reminds us of the power of melody to go deep and to bring a celebration to life – offering delightful moments of discovery, one after another, on the song’s fascinating journey from Ukraine to YouTube.

Please RSVP to Shirley Gold at 407-772-2899 so we know how many people to expect and how much snack to prepare.
