Congregations Beth Aaron and Rinat Yisrael are presenting the acclaimed film, “Ben-Gurion, Epilogue,” on Sunday, October 14, at 8 p.m., at Congregation Rinat Yisrael, 389 West Englewood Avenue, Teaneck. Sunday’s event will also include remarks from Yefet Ozery from the American Associates Of Ben Gurion University.

The winner of the Israeli Film and TV Academy’s award for Best Documentary, the film brings to life a lost English language interview from 1968 with one of modern Israel’s greatest leaders, David Ben-Gurion. Along with being one of the key founders of the state of Israel, he was an idiosyncratic, playful iconoclast who believed big cities were not good for humanity, was taught to stand on his head by the legendary Moshe Feldenkrais, and hung out with Ray Charles. Ben-Gurion’s introspective soul-searching about Israel’s role in history provides a surprising vision for crucial decisions Israel needs to make today.

Yefet Ozery serves as the senior philanthropic advisor to Ben Gurion University. As a teenager Ozery wrote to Ben Gurion and was fortunate to receive 12 handwritten, personal letters from him, covering a wide range of subject matters concerning the future of Israel, prospects for peace and relations with Diaspora communities. Ben Gurion also surprised him with a visit to his boarding school, where he continued the dialogue in person with the high school students.
