TEN GREAT FILMSNovember is
national Jewish book month, however I am going to write about something
that might seem like a threat to books, films. Notice I did not say, movies, for I am not speaking about Michael Bay blockbusters that insult the intelligence. I am speaking about terrific motion pictures that should be seen as art comparable to books. I am also not merely writing about Jewish films, although there are some wonderful ones. My list of ten films reflects the spiritual and psychological insights provided, as well as an admiration for their artistic integrity. Of course there are many films not included because they don’t fit in this particular list and not because they are not great films. Conversely, there are many Jewish films not on this list because I don’t think of them as well made, or standing up to the test of time.
I encourage your comments and I also hope that we might screen some of these together at Temple Sholom.
My list (the list is not hierarchical):1. The King of Hearts (1966) – Who is really crazy
when there’s a war going on?2. Schindler’s List (1993) – Obvious.3. Annie Hall (1977) – The American Jewish
experience explained.4. Twelve Angry Men (1957) – A celebration of
rational persuasion.5. The Prince of Egypt (1998) – Dreamworks’
first animated picture blows the Ten Commandments out of the water.
6. A Hard Day’s Night (1964) – Eternal spirit of youth.
7. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) – Obvious. Too bad about the TV marathons.
8. Lawrence of Arabia (1962) – A great epic, and background for the later Zionist story.
9. Dead Poet’s Society (1989) – Seize the day.10. A Gentlemen’s Agreement (1947) – How to
understand the “polite” anti-semitism of the mid-twentieth century in America.
We all know that any list tells you more about the list-maker than the items on this list, but if you have not seen any of these films, please find a way to see them. And again, let me know of any I may have missed.
With shalom,Rabbi Edwin Goldberg

Donors enjoying the Riding the Bimah thank you party!
Celebrating the Mitzvah of Giving Donor support at all levels from members and non-members alike are truly a blessing to the daily life of Temple Sholom. We rely on generous contributions that allow our clergy members to be on hand to tend to various lifecycle needs: baby namings, brit milah, b’nai mitzvah, weddings, funerals and weekly worship services. Among other thing, your gifts allow us the mitzvah of offering membership for all, regardless of one’s ability to pay, and subsidized fees for our religious school in order to offer affordable educational opportunities for our youth. Hopefully you enjoyed our beautiful High Holy Day services and the fact that we took on the ambitious task of installing a much needed and impressive new sound system in the sanctuary. It was an important decision for the Temple Board to undertake, given the added expense and necessary fundraising. While we are delighted to announce an $85,000 matching grant from Westlawn Cemetery & Mausoleum and Lakeshore Jewish Funerals to support our new sanctuary sound program – we are looking to you – our members, donors and friends – to help meet this extraordinary challenge with an additional gift this year. Please help us make Temple Sholom the place of excellence we all desire. Become a stakeholder and join together with others in the mitzvah of giving! To make a gift or for more information, contact: Marla Krupman, Development Director at [email protected] or 773-435-1535.

Our Monthly Feed the Hungry Program will be held on Sunday, November 13th.

CHIdush: Honing the skill of innovation
Helping synagogue schools createcompelling educational experiences
Creativity and innovation come naturally to some. But they also are skills that can be learned, honed and heightened in the right environment. That’s why Temple Sholom has joined CHIdush, an exciting new cohort designed to teach our leadership team the best ways to continue making our education program meaningful and relevant for our existing families and, at the same time, more welcoming and accessible to young families we haven’t yet reached.
