Selihot movie and service, Saturday, September 9, 9:30 p.m.
Amal
Amal, an autorickshaw driver living in poverty in India, crosses paths with a rich man who, fed up with the corruption, entitlement, and materialism of the upper classes, goes looking for One Honest Man. What will happen when Amal’s kindness encounters the cutthroat business world? Will Amal’s goodness cost him material benefits of this world? The movie asks what makes a rich life, what are the costs of an upright life, and what are the costs of materialism.
The movie will be followed by a Selihot service, beginning at approximately 11:30 p.m.
