Film Screening "Goodbye Columbus"

Phillip Roth, one of the great Jewish writers of our generation passed away this year. Temple Beth Sholom is paying tribute to him with a film series based on some of his classic books. Our Retrospective kicks off with "Goodbye Columbus" on Tuesday October 16th at 7:00 p.m.

Neil Klugman (Richard Benjamin), a young librarian in New Jersey, has eyes for Brenda Patimkin (Ali MacGraw), a beautiful Radcliffe student. Although they are both Jewish, Brenda’s family is much wealthier and more conservative than Neil’s. As there relationship matures, their differing cultural backgrounds cause Brenda’s mother (Nan Martin) to have trepidations about the couple. As their disparate ideas about sex and birth control come to the fore, their feelings for each other are tested. Film will be screened at Temple Beth Sholom 4144 Chase Ave. Miami Beach 33140

April 3rd at 7:00 p.m."Heading Home" Miami Debut Film Screening

Temple Beth Sholom Brotherhood invites you to a stirring story of sports, patriotism and personal growth. HEADING HOME charts the underdog journey of Israel’s national baseball team competing for the first time in the World Baseball Classic.

After years of defeat, Team Israel finally ranks among the world’s best in 2017,eligible to play in the prestigious international tournament. Their line-up included several Jewish American Major League players – Ike Davis, Josh Zeid and ex Braves catcher Ryan Lavarnway – most with a tenuous relationship to Judaism, and never having set foot in Israel.

Their odyssey takes them from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem where they are greeted as heroes, to Seoul where they must debunk their has-been, wannabe reputations. As their “Mensch on a Bench” mascot tags along, the team does much soul-searching, discovering the pride of representing Israel on the world stage.
