Join us for Havdalah Saturday, November 22 at 5:00 pm. Afterwards, we will be showing "More than 1000 words", a documentary film about award-winning Israeli photojournalist Ziv Koren. The movie's director, Solo Avital, followed him around with a camera for two years. Avital filmed him as he was witness to terror attacks, secret meetings with Palestinians, and military actions by the Israeli army. The World Press Photo foundation considers Koren to be one of the most important photojournalists of the second half of the last century. His work has been published in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Newsweek, Der Spiegel, Le Figaro and El Pais. The film is mostly in Hebrew with Polish subtitles.
