Upheaval: The Journey of Menachem Begin
A free private screening of Upheaval: The Journey of Menachem Begin, at Beth Jacob Atlanta with the World Zionist Organization.
Beth Jacob Atlanta, AIC and the World Zionist Organization put on a free private screening of Upheaval: The Journey of Menachem Begin on the evening of Tuesday, May 24. Beth Jacob hosted, and registration closed the day before.
Jonathan Gruber produced, wrote and directed the documentary. It follows Begin from his fight with the British all the way to the prime minister’s office. He was a leader haunted by the Holocaust and by decades of war, who founded the Likud and fought the bigotry Middle Eastern and African Jews faced in Israeli society. As prime minister he made peace with Egypt, and he gave the go-ahead to bomb Saddam Hussein’s Osirak nuclear reactor. Gruber built the film from rarely seen archival material and from interviews with people who knew Begin.
