“Hava Nagila” is to music what the bagel is to food – a Jewish staple that has transcended its origins and become a worldwide hit. Bob Dylan sang it. Elvis, too. And that’s only the beginning. This award-winning film from director Roberta Grossman follows the infectious party song on its fascinating journey from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the cul-de‐sacs of America. “Hava Nagila” takes viewers from Ukraine and Israel to the Catskills, Greenwich Village, Hollywood – and even Bollywood – spotlighting the cross-cultural connections that can be achieved only through music. Our season-opening program will involve a celebration with music and refreshments.
