A rich, ethnographic tapestry of Jewish legend, The Dybbuk is a Yiddish-language drama based on S. Ansky’s seminal play about a bride possessed by a dybbuk, or disconnected soul. The film weaves a mystical tale from the Hasidic shtetls of the late nineteenth century with the story of two close friends, Sender and Nisn, who vow that their first-born children will marry one another. The Dybbuk presented here is a new restoration of the 1937 classic.
Dr. Agnieskza Legutko of Columbia University will speak after the film. More information at https://bildnercenter.rutgers.edu/events/film
Tickets $13. Be sure to get your tickets in advance from the film festival’s website. This screening is expected to sell out.

Our next book will be The Haj, by Leon Uris. The Haj is an epic story of hate and love, vengeance and forgiveness. It is about a Palestinian Arab family caught up in the events of the 1920’s to 1950’s as witnessed by Ishmael, the youngest son of the village leader’s family. The story portrays the interactions and clashes between Ishmael’s village and the Jewish pioneers building up Palestine, creating modern Israel.
