$5 suggested donation

Temple Beth Hillel Adult Ed Committee is sponsoring an Israeli Lunch followed by the Israeli film "The Band's Visit"

Comedy-Drama - The eight Egyptian musicians who comprise the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra arrive by mistake in a small town in Israel's Negev Desert. Their booking set for a different city, and with no transportation out of the town or any hotels to stay at, the band settles at a restaurant owned by Dina (Ronit Elkabetz), who offers them lodging. Overcoming ethnic barriers, the Egyptians find diversion and companionship with the Israelis through a pervading undercurrent of shared melancholy.

Read about how seeing this original film inspired the current Broadway musical sensation of the same name that has swept the Tony awards.
