This exuberant film is a documentary romp through the history, mystery and meaning of the great Jewish standard. Featuring interviews with interpreters like Harry Belafonte, Leonard Nimoy, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Regina Spektor and more, the film follows the ubiquitous party song on its fascinating journey from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the cul-de-sacs of America.
High on fun and entertainment, “Hava Nagila (The Movie)” is also surprisingly profound, tapping into universal themes about the importance of joy, the power of music and the resilient spirit of a people.
Dance the “Hava Nagila” afterward with guided instruction by Sigi Saadia. Light nosh will accompany the dancing.
"Buoyant! The filmmakers mix the playful and serious."
The New York Times
