Documentary Film on the Rav at Maimonides Jan. 17

The Maimonides School Alumni Council will host a free screening of the documentary film “The Lonely Man of Faith” on Saturday evening, Jan. 17, beginning at 7:45 p.m. at the school in Brookline.

The 99-minute film is subtitled “The Life and Legacy of Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik.” It concentrates on the Rav’s years in Boston, including his establishment of Maimonides School in 1937.

More than a dozen former students, family members and admirers of Rabbi Soloveitchik and builders of Maimonides School are featured in interviews. The film also showcases hundreds of photographs from that era.

Ethan Isenberg, producer and director, introduced the documentary at the Boston Jewish Film Festival in November 2006. Since then it has been shown throughout the world, but returned to the region only on two afternoons in late June 2008.

The Jan. 17 presentation will be followed by a panel discussion of alumni and former parents reflecting on the Rav’s presence in the school over the years. Participants will include Rabbi Reuven Cohn ’65 of the Maimonides Upper School faculty.

RSVP for this event to info@maimonides.org or 617-232-4452, ext. 105.
