An exclusive screening of the Nancy Spielberg-produced movie “Above and Beyond” will be held on Thursday, May 12 at the historic Beth Hebrew Synagogue in Downtown Phoenix. The event is a joint effort among the Bureau of Jewish Education ACT Program, Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix NowGen and Business & Professionals programs, and JNFuture in honor of Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day).
The film will be introduced by local author Craig Weiss co-author of the book “My Brother’s Keeper: American Volunteers in Israel’s War for Independence 1947-1949.” His book was the basis for “Above and Beyond.”
The screening is hosted at Beth Hebrew to recognize the Spielberg family’s long-term connection to the temple – Ms. Spielberg’s brother, Steven Spielberg, became a bar mitzvah at Beth Hebrew.
Tickets are $18 and include movie snacks and beverages. A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit foundations that support lone soldiers in the IDF.
This lovely, tender drama is based on true events. Anne Frank is a Jewish girl in hiding during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam in World War II. She, along with seven others, survive for two years in the sealed–off upper rooms of the annex of her father’s office building in Amsterdam. This is a story of courage, hope, and the triumph of the human spirit.
Times vary.
