MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5

Watch Disco Boy, an unusual film that puts two unlikely men, Aleksei and Jomo, on two paths that will eventually pit them against each other.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6

Attend an online screening of The Little Things by Michal Aronzon. The 2019 documentary is about Yudale Fruman, the son of Rabbi Menachem Fruman, as he comes to terms with the ill health and eventual passing of his father. Fruman senior was famous for promoting interfaith dialogue and even hammering out a would-be ceasefire agreement in 2008 between Hamas and Israel, with reporter Khalid Amayreh.

The agreement was never discussed by the Israeli government. Aronzon teaches Yudale how to use a camera. The film also deals with how this Tel Aviv-based, secular woman learns something about the life of a religious settler from Tekoa. 

Shown at 8 p.m., followed by a virtual panel discussion with Aronzon at 9:30 p.m. Hebrew only. This is a pay-what-you-may event. Sign up via www.yonatannir.com/things.
