The film has English subtitles for persons with hearing challenges.
I am pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, June 18 we will present 12 ANGRY MEN.
This is a courtroom drama with a unique twist. We are taken into the jury room. The twelve men decide the fate of a young man charged with murder. It appears to be an open-and-shut case; there is no question he did it. Or did he? One juror has doubt, reasonable doubt.
The deliberations become a display of and debate on each of the jurors’ own prejudices and preconceived notions about the defendant and about themselves with explosive results. The film’s tag line says it all: “A Life Is In Their Hands—Death Is On Their Minds; It Explodes Like Twelve Sticks Of Dynamite!”.
This multi-award winning film is without a doubt one of the greatest movies ever made. Out of more than 670,000 movies ranked by viewers on the Intenet Movie Database, it is ranked NUMBER FIVE! There is an all-star cast including Henry Fonda, Martin Balsam, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Klugman, Jack Warden, Ed Begley and E.G. Marshall. This is a MUST-SEE or SEE-AGAIN CLASSIC!
The Movie Matinee is at 2:00. The film is 1½ hours in length. In addition, there will be a brief introduction of the film, a short talk and discussion after the screening and an essay about the movie provided to all attendees.
There will be refreshments. No reservations are required. Beit Knesset Hanassi is located at 24 Ussishkin Street. The admission is 20 shekels for members of the shul and 30 shekels for non-members.

Best wishes for a meaningful and enjoyable Shavuot. Chag Shavuot Sameach!
