A film worth seeing . . . and then there is Purim

Follow Me: The Yonatan Netanyahu Story

Thursday, March 1st, 7:15 pm at the Terrace Theatre 

 

Follow Me: The Yonatan Netanyahu Story produced by Ari Pinchot, son-in-law of Rabbi David and Barbara Radinsky, will be shown as part of the Charleston Film Festival.

The film will consist of two story arcs that will tragically and heroically connect. The first is the dramatic Entebbe hijack and rescue -- 8 days when a nation held its breath and executed a military miracle that redefined the Jewish Nation's call - "Never Again!" The second is the remarkable life story of Jonathan Netanyahu, a young soldier who struggled to find the balance between the people and the Nation he loved. This film is about Jonathan's life, and what led these two dramatic story arcs to intersect on that fateful day.

Purchase your tickets in advance for guaranteed seating!   

and I hear that Ari Pinchot will be in Charleston for the screening of the movie.
