MJFF Closing Night Film & Party: Hava Nagila (The Movie)
Hava Nagila (The Movie) - documentary Director: Roberta Grossman / Featuring: Harry Belafonte, Leonard Nimoy, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Regina Spektor and others USA 2012 / English / 75 minutes
The musical shorthand for anything Jewish, a happy party tune that you dance to at weddings, bar mitzvahs and even at Major League Baseball games. Yet 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 way, Hava Nagila encapsulates the Jewish journey over the past 150 years.
