Rabbi Andy Bachman recommends a film adaptation of a David Grossman novel. It will be screened at Congregation Beth Elohim (8th Avenue and Garfield in Park Slope) on Sunday:

Noah Stollman’s beatifully written adaptation of David Grossman’s Someone to Run With kept getting sold out this week at the New York Jewish Film Festival at the Walter Reade Theater.

If you want another chance to see it, come Sunday night January 20 at 6.30 pm to Film Park Slope at CBE and you’ll get to meet Noah and talk to him about the movie.

“A vibrant, at times frightening, Jerusalem emerges as a significant character in the exhilarating Someone to Run With. Based on the best selling novel by David Grossman, the film captures the literary work’s sense of pace, suspense and heartfelt drama while taking viewers on a riveting tour of the stone alleyways and pulsing 24-hour street life of the ancient city.
