We will explore the phenomenon that was The Beatles— their growth, originality, musical innovations, and lyric depth.

EVENTSPECIAL YOM HA’ATZMAUT SCREENINGBen-Gurion, EpilogueIn 1968, in the depths of the Israeli Archive, interview footage of David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime Minister, was discovered. Eighty-two years old, five years before his death, he lives in his secluded home in the desert, removed from all political discourse, which allows him a perspective on the Zionist enterprise. Ben-Gurion’s introspective soul searching is the focus of this film, and his clear voice provides a surprising vision for today’s critical issues and the future of Israel.Wednesday, April 29, 12:30pmFree for allPost-screening discussion with Danielle Konorti, Greater MetroWest Community Shlicha
