1. Next Year Jerusalem: The Journey of a Lifetime

Choosing life in life's final chapter is the poignant subtext of Next Year Jerusalem, a lyrical portrait of eight nursing home residents who make a pilgrimage to Israel. Offered a seat on the bus for the tour, we accompany these individuals across stunning Israeli sites and landscapes, from mountains to desert. But the film is less a story about tourists in a foreign land than it is a meditation on the sanctity of the human experience and the wisdom acquired over a lifetime. Surprisingly uplifting, Next Year Jerusalem is a true exploration of living and dying, hope and fear, and travel and memory...a celebration of - and a tribute to - life's eldest travelers.

2. The Golden Pomegranate

Based on the best-selling novel the untold story of the first Jewish pioneers

A Jewish faith-based movie that shows the courage of one woman in troubling times. Noa, a popular Israeli singer of Yemenite descent, prepares for a concert in Jerusalem but is interrupted by an old Arab man, who claims to have been a close friend of her great-grandmother. He tells her the story of Mazal, a Jewish child-bride from Yemen who preserves her religion, culture, family, and unique art, surviving the harsh, violent conditions of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. She becomes the mother of two, a young widow, and the family s breadwinner through her skills as a jeweler. In time, a woman of property and an ardent patriot, she prevails through the bloody decades while living in the Old City of Jerusalem. Mazal heads a family of extraordinary, unforgettable characters and grows old in strength and determination, remaining true to her traditions and ideals.

Film Movement DVD "If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle" -- 1 credit please -- has 9WL. UPC is not "in system" so cannot post on my tower.

Kristen, I frequently have the same problem. I buy movies from Film Movement, a perfectly legit source. But the UPC is not in the "system". There will be numerous WL for it. You can post it in the bazaar but it will only be requested if someone looks for it there -- and sometimes no one does. So you have people wanting the DVD and people with the DVD but they may not connect.

This hit comedy explores mens attitudes toward women. Three friends a newlywed, a lovestricken guy, and a ladies man look for love, lust, or marriage ... or maybe all of the above.

In Hebrew, English subtitles. Unpostable because DVD came from Israel so UPC unrecognizable. NTCS format though. Not a counterfeit copy.

This DVD available for swap. 1 credit.
