December 8 – Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel
A team of nice Jewish baseball players takes on the world. Heading Home is the David-and-Goliath story of Israel’s national baseball team as it competes for the first time in the World Baseball Classic. This tale of Team Israel reflects the journey of a group of young people, who through an indefatigable belief in themselves and their cause defy the world’s expectations.
Featured guest at this showing: Jonathan Mayo, one of Heading Home’s producers!
Jonathan has been a writer for MLB.com since 1999, focusing on the MLB Draft and minor league prospects since 2003. He has written two books: Facing Clemens: Hitters on Confronting Baseball’s Most Intimidating Pitcher in 2008 and Smart, Wrong and Lucky: The Origin Stories of Baseball’s Unexpected Stars in 2023. He lives in Pittsburgh with his wife, Sara, and has two children, Ziv and Elena.
January 5 – Crossing Delancey
This classic romantic comedy set mostly in New York’s Lower East Side centers on Isabelle Grossman, whose bubbe hires a marriage broker to set her up. What comes next forces Isabelle to think about what she wants in a partner, but it involves funny Jewish humor and people who make pickles.
Join us for this four-part series as we welcome speakers from the Thanks-Giving Foundation’s Interfaith Council. They will help us explore our neighbors’ religions and gain respect for our similarities and our differences.
