Shabbat, December 9th

 Film Screening of  
"On the Map" @YIS,  
This Saturday night, Dec. 9th @ 7:30pm 
The inspiring story of the Maccabi Tel Aviv 1977 European Championship, which against-all-odds put Israel on the map in the international arena. The film is told from the viewpoint of six American basketball players who joined the Maccabi team to help win the 1977 European championship at a time when Israel was coping with the 1972 Munich Olympic massacres, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight from Tel Aviv. The story of the former Maccabi players and their victory captivates the audience in a story of hope, trial and triumph.
The film features interviews with basketball icon Bill Walton (who had a unique personal connection to Brody), former NBA Commissioner David Stern, Israel's former Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren, and Natan Sharansky, a notable Israeli politician who spent years imprisoned in Soviet jails.

If you would like to get rid of:
* All clothing
* Linens
 Get rid of the mess
and get a mitzvah!
In addition to a mitzvah,
 you will receive a valuable
tax deduction as well!
We are collecting these items
 for an organization called
KUPATH EZRAH
OF ROCKLAND COUNTY
.
All items should be clean
 and in good shape,
 clothing should be
up-to-date and
 still fashionable.
Remember: you are
giving these things to
 a 'close relative,' and it
costs the organization
 money to sort
and dispose of poor
 merchandise.
Currently Scott Greenbaum is not able to take your donations to Monsey. Volunteers would be appreciated. Please contact Scott if you are able to help:
