7th Annual Jewish Film Festival of Central New Jersey

An Article of Hope, directed by Dan Cohen, is playing at the AMC Loews Mountainside Theatre.

An Article of Hope is an award-winning film about the remarkable true story of Colonel Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut, and the tiny Torah he carried into space.  It is a unique story that interweaves scientific acheivement, the private grief of a boy who came of age during the Holocaust and the public mourning in the aftermath of the Columbia shuttle disaster.  Combining historical and ethical inquiry, the film reaches across faiths and nationalities to tell a truly human story.

Director Dan Cohen will be the guest speaker at the movie.
