In observance of Tisha B’Av each year, Pardes opens its door to its Jerusalem community inviting locals and visitors for a Day of Learning. Together, as we mourn, we study Eicha (Lamentations) and other texts related to the Destruction of the Temple and the tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people.
This year, the Pardes Tisha B’Av Day of Learning features nine different lectures to choose from and a special film presentation.

Shortly after his father’s death, Bobby returns to his native England and discovers a suitcase full of documents, letters and photos, documenting the story of his family who perished in the Holocaust – the story his father never told him. He turns to Manuel, his German-born childhood friend, to translate the documents. Manuel, who hails from a family steeped in cinematic history and whose aunt was married to Stanley Kubrick, reveals that he too has recently uncovered a dark family secret: his father’s uncle was the infamous Nazi filmmaker Veit Harlan, director of the film “Jud Suss” – banned from screening to the present day and considered the most notorious anti-Semitic propaganda film in history. Together they embark on a voyage to Berlin to discover more about their respective pasts- a journey which puts their friendship to the test.
