	We’ll start the summer series on July 7 with a good laugh at a little known British comedy called SIXTY-SIX. The year is 1966 and for a 12-year-old North London kid, the biggest day of his life is looming: his Bar Mitzvah. It’s also the year that the World Cup Finals are in London. Can one affect the other? Don’t even ask.

	Our 2nd film is a good old-fashioned love story, EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE. In one of Tom Hanks’ earliest films, he plays an American serving with the RAF before the US got into WWII. Wounded over N. Africa, he is sent to recuperate in Palestine where he meets a young Sephardic woman. The chemistry is right, but the times aren’t.

	We’ll close out the series with an Israeli-made documentary, THE CEMETERY CLUB, about a group of Holocaust survivors living in Jerusalem. They meet weekly at a beautiful park in the Mt. Herzl National Cemetery. There they read poetry, discuss philosophy, share lunch, gossip, and enjoy each other’s company - and quarrel a bit. This poignant film follows the writer/director’s grandmother and great-aunt over a five year period.
