English Screening of ‘Cinema Sabaya’ and Film Director Q+A
The Times of Israel’s arts and culture editor Jessica Steinberg in conversation with first-time director Orit Fouks Rotem. ‘Cinema Sabaya’ swept Israel’s Ophir Awards in September, automatically becoming the country’s selection for consideration as a foreign film nominee at the 2023 Academy Awards in the United States.
A feel-good evening dedicated to great Israeli filmmaking, and one of the first times the film is screened with English subtitles. The film tells the story of Arab and Jewish female municipal workers who take part in a video workshop, document their own lives and view each others’ — in the process challenging their own beliefs as they get to know one another.
Paralyzed Nation: How Israel’s dysfunctional electoral system still could be fixed
The Times of Israel’s expert political team in conversation with ToI’s Amanda Borschel-Dan, delving into a swath of issues, including: Why is the Left shrinking? What explains the rise of the far Right? What reforms have been proposed to fix these repeated deadlocks — and what are their chances of being enacted?
An evening dedicated to answering your political questions featuring enlightening analysis from ToI’s political experts.
Ancient Jerusalem Revealed: Myth-busting the Holy City’s Destructions
Archaeologists Prof. Jodi Magness and Dr. Joe Uziel — in conversation with ToI’s Amanda Borschel-Dan — discuss how archaeology unveils hidden clues into what actually happened during the destructions of the First and Second Temples.
An evening dedicated to proof of the Babylonian and Roman campaigns — and also how it sometimes contradicts the texts that described them.
The live event takes place before Tisha B’Av, a fast day that commemorates the destruction of the First Temple — as noted in the biblical Books of Ezra and Nehemiah — and is also later identified as the day of the end of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem and razing of the Second Temple.
Who By Fire: Leonard Cohen and the Yom Kippur War
Matti Friedman — in conversation with ToI’s David Horovitz — discusses his new book on the singer-priest’s extraordinary tour for IDF troops in 1973
An evening dedicated to Leonard Cohen’s little-known concert tour to the front lines of the Yom Kippur War, accompanied by a live band playing classic Leonard Cohen tunes.
Working from rare source material — including a never-before-seen unfinished Cohen manuscript — author Friedman describes how the poet and singer traveled from his home on the Greek island of Hydra to the chaos and bloodshed of the Sinai desert when Egypt attacked Israel on the Jewish high holiday of Yom Kippur in October 1973.
Those who survived never forgot the experience and the war transformed Cohen.
