"CRITIC'S PICK! The extraordinary life of Lior Liebling...touching." -NY Times

Lior Liebling is preparing for his Bar Mitzvah, helped by his tight-knit family and community. Lior has Down Syndrome, and he learned to daven (pray) before he could talk. His mother, who died when he was six years old, taught him to daven and wished that he could someday become a Bar Mitzvah. Now, he is considered by some to be a spiritual genius and by others as a Hassidic master. As Lior approaches the milestone of his Bar Mitzvah, his family offers differing viewpoints into how disability affects a family. Praying with Lior is an intimate, triumphant documentary by emerging filmmaker Ilana Trachtman.

The Debt

Nominated for four Israeli Academy Awards, this thriller starring Israeli superstar Gila Almagor will have you on the edge of your seat. In 1965, three young Mossad agents track down and kill the infamous Nazi war criminal known as the Surgeon of Birkenau. The daring mission seals their reputations as heroes in Israel. One of the three agents, Rachel Berner, has capitalized on her celebrity, but 40 years later her reputation is in jeopardy when a Russian man claims that he is the Surgeon of Treblinka. The three agents decide to take action and soon we learn what really happened during their mission years ago.
(Hebrew and German with English Subtitles)
