November 22 (25th night of Marcheshvan) was the Five Towns Premiere at Young Israel of Woodmere.  The event was co-sponsored by Congregation Bais Tefilah, Congregation Beth Sholom, Ohr Torah, and Young Israel of North Woodmere.  I understand that the shul was packed, with at least 350 people attending!  Rabbi Heshy Billet opened the program by sharing a few remarks and anecdotes.
 

November 23 (26th night of Marcheshvan) was the Seattle Premiere.  The screening took place at the Museum of History and Industry and was extremely well attended, with a diverse crowd of around 300 people attending!  I thoroughly enjoyed the screening, as well as the preceding Shabbat, during which I spoke twice as a scholar-in-residence.  Kudos to Rivi Kletenik and Erica Curnutte of the Seattle Hebrew Academy, as well as a number of local Jewish organizations for making this all possible.
