MOVIE NIGHT AT BETH JACOB
Movie: The 1956 version of "The Ten Commandments"
The first half will be shown Tuesday Sept. 24, at 7:00 PM
The second half will be shown Wednesday, Oct 3, 7:00 PM (Note change of date, because of Simcha Torah the day before): Part II of "The Ten Commandments"
My thinking is that this classic movie is about much of our history, will be covered in the Torah readings for the coming year, and may also be good for the kids to see.
The movie has a great cast, and won many, many awards.
Some of the historical names may not be familiar, so I suggest you follow the link below, scroll down to "Cast", and check out any unfamiliar historical characters, and match them with the actor who plays the part:

Light refreshments will be served.
See you at the movies!
