The film follows retired Israeli general Noam Tibon\, who on October 7\, 2023\, received a desperate text from his son Amir: Hamas terrorists had stormed Amir’s home on a kibbutz near the Gaza border\, and he\, his wife\, and their two young daughters feared for their lives. With no time to spare and relying only on his instincts and military training\, Noam sets out from Tel Aviv – 85 kilometres away – together with his wife Gali – navigating ambushes\, roadblocks\, and a collapsing security system – in a relentless race against time to reach and save their family. \nSet against the backdrop of one of Israel’s darkest days\, and blending intimate firsthand testimony with the raw urgency of a survival thriller\, this film is both a gripping cinematic retelling of an extraordinary rescue\, and a profoundly human story about courage\, family\, resilience\, and the human capacity for bravery and love in the darkest of moments.   \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \n  \nProudly co-sponsored by JAC – Jewish Adult Calgary URL:https://bethtzedec.ca/event/the-road-between-us-the-ultimate-rescue/ LOCATION:Beth Tzedec CATEGORIES:Film Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bethtzedec.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/The-Road-Between-Us.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20251115T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20251115T230000 DTSTAMP:20260404T070527 CREATED:20251003T103405Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251028T181916Z UID:10001676-1763240400-1763247600@bethtzedec.ca SUMMARY:Dead Language DESCRIPTION:Israel/Czech Republic/Poland 2025 | Directors: Mihal Brezis & Oded Binnun | English & Hebrew with English subtitles | 110 minutes\nDrama/Romance \nWhile waiting at the airport for her husband\, Aya is mistaken for someone else.

Within its pages you’ll find Jewish ethics\, ancient customs\, legends\, and even mystical calculations about the beginning and the end of time. Traditionally attributed to Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus\, a 2nd-century sage\, the text was likely compiled in the eighth or ninth century. \nJoin Rabbi Russ for a fascinating journey through this remarkable work—a tapestry of storytelling\, interpretation\, and spiritual imagination. Together\, we’ll explore how Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer reshapes familiar biblical narratives\, connects them to enduring Jewish values\, and invites us to see Torah through a lens of creativity and wonder. \nEach session will combine close reading with lively discussion\, making the class accessible to both newcomers and seasoned learners. \nCome discover why Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer has captivated readers for centuries—and how its timeless insights continue to inspire and challenge us today. \nRegistration not required\, but appreciated. \n\n \n \n Seudah Shelishit Registration Form\n Please use this form to register for the entire course. \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n PhoneHow many attendees would you like to register?
