Stowe Jewish Film Festival

August 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Hava Nagila The Movie:
Hava Nagilais instantly recognizable – musical shorthand for anything Jewish, a happy party tune that you dance to at weddings, bar mitzvahs and even at Major League Baseball games. It conjures up wistful smiles, memories of generations past…and no shortage of eye rolling. But as audiences will discover in Hava Nagila (The Movie), the song is much more than a tale of Jewish kitsch and bad bar mitzvah fashions. It carries with it an entire constellation of history, values and hopes for the future. In its own believe-it-or-not way, Hava Nagila encapsulates the Jewish journey over the past 150 years. It also reveals the power of one song to express and sustain identity, to transmit lessons across generations and to bridge cultural divides and connect us all on a universal level. Featuring interviews with Harry Belafonte, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Leonard Nimoy, Regina Spektor and more, Hava Nagila (The Movie) follows the song from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the kibbutzim of Palestine to the cul-de-sacs of America.
 
JCOGS is hosting the film and a dance party in the tent under the stars with the JCOGS band, dance instruction and Israeli inspired desserts. There are season patron tickets available on the JCOGS website as well as individual tickets. Or you can pay at the door. Check out all our  summer events at www.jcogs,org
