I know many of you are eager to purchase the film on DVD and I continue to get regular requests both from individuals and organizations. I want to let you know that I'm working on finding a distributor as well as the more technical details. I hope to have an update for everyone fairly soon. In the meantime, I appreciate your continuing patience.
On
October 6, Chol Ha-moed Sukkot, the film screened once again at the
Jerusalem Cinematheque. I actually haven't heard anything about the screening, so if you were there, please
drop me a line.
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).
Shabbat Shalom,
