Actor Ohad Knoller at Boston Srugim Finale
Israeli actor Ohad Knoller, star of the smash-hit Israeli TV series Srugim, met with an eager audience in Brookline, MA on Tuesday night. The event was the finale of what became a new summer hobby for Boston’s Jewish Young Professionals – a weekly Israeli Movie Night at the Coolidge Corner Theater.
After watching the season finale, members of the audience heard from Knoller, who spoke about some projects he is currently involved in, and related to his role in Srugim. Knoller moved, along with his family, from Tel Aviv to the Negev development town of Dimona. Together with his wife, he is involved in a community theater project and in the Dimona Cinematheque
The successful series repeatedly sold out the Tuesday night screenings at ‘The Coolidge’ with enthusiastic Jewish twenty-to-thirty-somethings. A total of over 300 people attended the events throughout July and August. Screening the series was a project of the American Zionist Movement (AZM), which seeks to bring a taste of Israel to the Boston community.
AZM is pleased to have brought this high quality and extremely successful project to Boston. The project has left people with a taste for more, and together with our local partners, we plan to continue the Zionist conversation onward through projects that highlight Israeli culture & society with Young Adults in the Boston Jewish Community.
For more information about AZM, the Israeli Movie Night project and more, please contact AZM Young Leadership Director, Eliav Rodman.
