Jerusalem in July

Jerusalem comes alive during the summer with lots of festivals and other happenings. The Jerusalem Film Festival is now in full swing-think of "Entourage in Cannes"-lots of fun sitting in a theatre along with a director and a few actors and being able to watch their reaction to your reaction to a film. I had the privilege to attend the opening of the festival. The film was "The Roundup" the true story of the roundup of 13,000 French Jews during WWII-a story which was kept quiet until Jacques Chirac apologized. Actor, Jean Reno along with the writer, director and producer were on hand.

As we enjoy the sites and sounds of Jerusalem, we are also busy getting ready for the arrival of young people coming to the various one year programs. Go to our website: www.here4theyear.com
Its not too late to order bedding and other things you may need to make your dorm room feel like a home away from home.
So be in touch with us!!!
