This is an email announcement regarding the documentary film, Lonely Man of Faith: The Life and Legacy of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. 
 
Welcome aboard to the 35 people who joined the list since the last email announcement.

I'm excited to announce lots of new screenings!
 
But first, I wanted to share with you our brand new poster design:
 
 
I'm interested in your reactions.
 
And now for the screenings:
 
Two screenings this Sunday, Aug. 3 (2nd of Av):
 
NEW: At 9 AM, there will be a screening at Young Israel of Teaneck, NJ, featuring Rabbi Aharon Rakeffet-Rothkoff, student and biographer of the Rav, who was featured in the film and also served as Senior Advisor.  They shul is located at 868 Perry Lane. 
 
At 8 PM, the film will screen at Lido Beach Synagogue, at 1 Fairway Rd. & Lido Blvd., Long Island, NY (near Long Beach).  Rabbi Daniel Mehlman, rabbi of the synagogue and a student of the Rav, will give introductory marks, and I will be there to discuss the film.
 
 
NEW: Sunday, August 24 (23rd of Av), at 7 PM, will be the Miami Premiere!  The screening will take place at the Byron Carlyle Theater in Miami Beach and is sponsored by the Lehrman Community Day School.  I will be conducting Q/A.  The address for the theater is 500 71st St.  For ticket info, call (305) 866-2771.
 
September 23 (23rd of Elul), at 7:30 PM, will be a screening as part of the Rochester (NY) Jewish Film Festival SERIES.  I will be speaking about the film, afterwards.  The screening will take place at the Little Theater, 240 East Avenue.

Save the date:
 
There will hopefully be several other screenings to announce, soon, so stay tuned...
 
Once again, I'd appreciate it if you could forward this email to anyone else who might be interested in this information.  And here's a link to the Facebook group for the film.
 
At the end of June, beginning of July, Lonely Man of Faith had a very successful run at the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston, as part of the Boston Jewish Film Festival Encore Series.  The film screened three times, and both the theater and the festival were very pleased with the turnout.  So there's a decent chance that the film will return to the city, once again!  I participated in a long Q/A session after the Sunday screening, and I had a great discussion with crowd that lasted around an hour!  Thanks to everyone who attended and to those who helped promote the film.
 
If you have an interesting experience or story connected to the film, please don't hesitate to share them with me.  You can simply reply to this email (don't worry, it will only go to me).
