Mag/Bog Kishroniyah Filmmaking: “Who is Rami”?

Don’t miss the fantastic documentary short film created by our Magshimim/Bogrim filmmaking Kishroniyah participants!

They decided to make a movie investigating the mystery behind Rabbi Rami, our summer co-director!

Filmmaking Kishroniyah is overseen by Arnon Shorr.  Arnon is a writer/director of exciting, character-driven adventures and thrillers, where heroes grapple with something strange or different and, in doing so, learn important truths about themselves.  Arnon shares: “I spent most of my childhood between worlds: a Hebrew speaker in America, a private school kid with no money, a suburbanite in a rented apartment. Whenever I’d set foot in one world, my other foot would betray me as different. For that reason, I started telling stories that embrace the peculiar, where encounters with the strange reveal who we are.”  Arnon wrote the graphic novel José and the Pirate Captain Toledanoi as well as the comic book Brother’s Keeper (which tells the true story of Arnon’s grandfather’s experiences in Israel’s 1948 War for Independence); both were illustrated by our Co-Director Josh Edelglass.  (Brother’s Keeper is available in a Hebrew language edition as well!)

Kishroniyah is one of our centerpiece programs for our Tzad Bet (B-Side) chanichim (campers).  Kishroniyah comes from the Hebrew word kishron, which means skill.  For one week each summer, we invite an array of high-level specialists into camp to run intense special programs for our older campers.  Machon and Nivonim have 12 hours of Kishroniyah from Sunday-to-Wednesday, and Magshimim and Bogrim have 8 hours of Kishroniyah from Wednesday-to-Friday.
