PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS A Triumph of Spirit A film about the life and personality of Dror Weinberg, a high ranking combat soldier in the Israeli army who was seen by many to one day become the chief of Staff of the IDF and who was unfortunately killed in a battle in Hebron in 2002. This movie is a fascinating account of the eldest son who goes on a journey to learn about his father, the man he hardly got to know. He ends up learning about the man and his life which were a true example to all who knew him, including his commanders in the army.

Miracle of Israel Rabbi Beryl Wein's Destiny Foundation has produced a new movie on the Miracle of Israel which focuses on the unbelievable stories surrounding the birth of the State of Israel 0 a most appropriate piece to be used for Israel's 60th celebration. It is a phenomenal piece of work that will keep people glued to the screen . The program is both entertaining and eye opening. The Miracle of Israel episode actually contains 2 seperate parts 0 the first segment, called "Saved Remnants", focuses on the story of the Holocaust Survivors and how they were able to maintain their faith, continue their lives as well as contribute to the building of the State of Israel after the Holocaust 0 a most appropriate and uplifting program for Yom Hashoa. The second segment, called "The Struggle for the State" focuses on the the struggle for the Establishment of Israel" which is self explanatory. Each part is 50 minutes long and extremely compelling to watch. People will walk away entertained and amazed at the amount of new information they learn about the topics.

The Legend of the 35 An important film that depicts the historical events of the 35 soldiers who were killed trying to save the Gush Etzion settlement block in the war of Independence. The Lamed Hey were 35 brave soldiers who were brutally murdered by Arab shepherds on their way to the besieged Gush Etzion, January 1948, 59 years ago. Their heroic story is an inseparable part of Jewish history in Gush Etzion. The thirty five, in English were young soldiers, some barely out of the camps, lovers of nature and life who took upon themselves a dangerous mission of no return, knowingly, to reach the besieged Gush Eztion with additional food and medical sup Programming Possibilities: 6 Page

Home Game "Home Game" is a captivating film about the surreal story of normal teenagers trying to continue an annual basketball tournament during a very abnormal summer in Israel – the summer of 2005 during the disengagement from Gaza. This powerful documentary emphasizes the journey of these teenagers and their determination to win against all odds, both on and off the court. Realizing that the media coverage of the disengagement focused solely on the political and sociological issues, Home Game was produced to give a voice to the little known human story of the former residents of Gush Katif also giving context to their situation today 2 years later. The film presents people the opportunity to connect to their Israeli counterparts through an experience that few even know occurred.
