click here to hear a sample of Matisyahu's amazing sound! "The crowd warmed up, Mattissyahu and his Holy Rollers took the stage. Garbed in a black overcoat, black hat, and tzitzit, the Chassidic Reggae Superstar wooed the crowd with his powerful beat boxing, Yiddish niggunim, and uplifting message of connection. The crowd didn’t know what to make of him. An hour later and the joint jumping, no pun intended, the crowd had witnessed a miracle. " -Yacter of JTown 12/30/2003

Movie Night We will be watching "Life is Beautiful" . Roberto Benigni's Life Is Beautiful is one of those films so touching and so magnificently directed that once you see it, you never forget it. Roberto Benigni co-wrote, directed and stared in this comedy-drama about the horrors of World War II. It's an unusual film that begins as a lighthearted romantic comedy and ends with a descent into the hell of WWII concentration camps. With the use of humor and a game, Benigni's character helps his son in the worst of times. Life is Beautiful, the Grand Prix winner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, is much like two films in one. In tone, temperament, and intent, they are vastly different -- one is poignant and powerful, the other is light, airy, and a little silly. We will be discussing the film afterwards. Food will be provided. Thursday night, February 19th at 7:30pm in the West Halls Warren Commons. For info call Ariel @ 862 8054
