A no-holds barred film about three teenagers, living in a tough neighborhood
of Be'er Sheva, Israel, who pin their hopes on soccer as a way out.
Recruited by the coach of the local soccer team, they will have to play as a
team, overcome their differences, and get over their sense of inferiority
and prejudice.

*Zrubavel *
Director: Shmuel Beru. Israel, 70 mins, Amharic and Hebrew w/English

The first film to be made by and about Ethiopian Israelis, Zrubavel tells
the story of Itzhak, a 13 year old boy who dreams of becoming a film
director - the future Spike Lee of Israel. Going around filming everyone and
everything, his neighborhood and family stories are revealed on the screen.
A surprising chain of events ignites a clash of generations - the Ethiopian
customs cherished by Yitzhak's grandparents and the younger generation's
desire to assimilate with Israeli culture.

*SING-A-LONG*
*Carnegie Community Sing: an interactive event for all ages*
Experience this special opportunity to learn songs and exchange stories with
the Fisk Jubilee Singers. (No singing experience necessary!) The original
Jubilee Singers introduced “slave songs” to the world in 1871 and were
instrumental in preserving this American musical tradition known today as
Negro Spirituals. They broke racial barriers in the US and abroad in the
late 19th century, and entertained kings and queens in Europe. Today the
Fisk Jubilee Singers—young students of Fisk University—continue their legacy
by singing and traveling extensively, sharing this distinct American art
form and experience with audiences worldwide. This event is hosted by Vy
Higginsen, co-writer, producer, and director of "Mama, I Want to Sing!"
Free Admission. RSVP required at 212.491.2040
Neighborhood Concert Series is a program of the Weill Music Institute at
Carnegie Hall. Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concerts are supported, in part,
by The Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation.
