Beth Ahm Hosts Israeli Film Series ongregation Beth Ahm in West Bloomfield will host a winter learning opportunity with Professor Howard N. Lupovitch. "Israel: Lessons from the Past" is an Israeli film series exploring the begin- ning of modern Israeli politics and the interplay between Jewish tradition and secular Israeli culture. The series will take place on three consecutive Sunday evenings, Jan. 8, 15 and 22, at 5:30 p.m. At each ses- sion, Lupovitch will introduce the film and lead an inter- Howard active discussion Lupovitch following the movie. There is a charge of $15 per session, which includes the movie, light refreshments and the presentation. Advance reservations are requested in order to plan seating and refreshments. The series will begin with the screening of I Love You, Rosa, about a young widow who must marry her late husband's 12-year-old brother when he becomes of age. On Jan. 15, the film will be Three Days and a Child. Old and new relationships are explored in this film based on the story by A.B. Yehoshua. The series concludes on Jan. 22 with Flames of Revolt: The Irgun, which documents the origins of the Irgun, the Haganah's rival military organiza- tion and pillar of the Israeli political right.

The Dead Sea Scrolls contain not only the oldest copies of the Bible, but Jewish texts from the third century B.C.E. through 68 C.E. that provide an unprecedented view of Jewish history, culture and religion. Congregation Beth Ahm in West Bloomfield offers free, weekly lectures on DVD. The new 24-part college-level course will begin on Wednesday, Jan. 4, titled "Dead Sea Scrolls" featuring lectures by Professor Gary Rendsburg of Rutgers University. Each week, Beth Ahm will screen two 30-minute lectures followed by brief informal discussion facilitated by Nancy Kaplan. There is no charge, and all are welcome.
