Directed by Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv. Winner of the prestigious Jerusalem Film Festival award, Strangers seems at first to be an implausible modern day take on the Romeo and Juliet tale of star-crossed lovers. However, the film soon gathers pace and becomes a deeply touching exploration of the desire of the young generation to reconnect and even reconcile with 'the other'. Eyal, an Israeli kibbutznik, and Rana, a Palestinian from Ramallah living in Paris, are in Berlin for the World Cup finals. When their identical bags are switched in a busy Berlin subway train, their worlds are changed completely. Complicated by the outbreak of the 2006 Lebanon war, the couple still manage to find love, comfort and possibility. Not to be missed. A donation towards catering costs is welcome.

West London Synagogue was founded in 1840, the first Reform Synagogue in Britain. Today it is a thriving community of 4,000 men, women and children, maintaining its ethos of Jewish tradition and modernity. Running through our Synagogue is a strong sense of community - some families have been members for three or four generations. Yet that does not mean we live in the past. With our dynamic Rabbinical, professional and lay team, we are pursuing fresh ideas with energy and inspiration. |
