The Big Moment 
This 1954 classic oozes pure nostalgia.  Narrated by Robert Young, with an all-star cast of Donna Reed, John Derek, Thomas Mitchell, Eduard Franz and Forrest Tucker, we are presented with three separate vignettes illustrating how Jews the world over provide help and support for others.  One story has Donna Reed as a young Holocaust survivor who, in spite of having witnessed the death of both parents, ultimately overcomes her  past and begins anew as a pioneer in the fledgling State of Israel. Not to be missed!

Bon Voyage 
Over twenty-five years ago, filmmaker Baruch Dienar created a fun-filled video with a young couple, travelling by motor scooter, singing their way across Israel.  We join them as they tour from Mt. Hermon in the North to Eilat in the south, visiting historic and biblical sites along the way.  The Israel we view is still young and not quite of age with no superhighways or traffic jams, and politics is nowhere to be found. This colorful travelog has no narration, just upbeat music, beautiful photography and lots of nostalgia. With Gadi Yagil and Shula Chen.

AUDIOCASSETTES

Voices of History^®: Israel
Throughout the 1970's until his untimely death in 1979, writer/educator/dramatist Dr. Samuel J. Citron took it upon himself to interview leading authorities on special topics in contemporary Jewish history, mostly relating to the State of Israel. Over the course of ten years of painstaking work, he completed the immense task of pulling together personal accounts of many of the more significant events of the last hundred years. The set consists of 58 audiocassettes, each one focusing on a different topic of interest. As fascinating as the subject matter, are the interviewees themselves: former Israeli prime ministers David Ben Gurion, Golda Meir and Menachem Begin, presidents Yitzhak Navon and Ezer Weizman, archeologist Yigael Yadin and statesman Abba Eban, to name but a few. Topics are as diverse as the Battle of Jerusalem, the Birth of the State of Israel, the Israeli Air Force, Israel in the International Arena, Masada and Recollections of the Pioneering Years. Each tape begins with an introduction and a list of suggested subjects for consideration. A unique collection that no home or school should be without. A production of the Jewish Heritage Institute of Friends of the Jewish Theatre for Children, Inc.
