Reading Interfaith Mission

The Jewish Federation of Reading is inviting our interfaith community to join us on a group trip to Israel.  We hope to enhance everyone’s understanding of the multi-faith complexities of Israel and the Middle East by traveling, visiting, and learning together.  Imagine visiting the Dome of the Rock and see it through the eyes of a Muslim?  See Masada through Jewish eyes as a last stand against the Romans.  Imagine learning about the security checkpoints not from the media, but from personal experience and conversation with people on both sides of the issue.

Operation Finale

now playing at

Fox Berkshire, 800 Berkshire Blvd., Wyomissing

This drama vividly captures the true story of the ingenious and brilliantly executed mission to capture Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust.

Fifteen years after the end of World War II, Israel's intelligence agency Mossad and security agency Shin Bet - led by the tireless and heroic agent Peter Malkin (Oscar Isaac) - launched a daring top-secret raid to capture the notorious Eichmann (Ben Kingsley), who had been reported dead in the chaos following Nazi Germany's collapse but was, in fact, living and working in a suburb of Buenos Aires, Argentina under an assumed identity along with his wife and two sons. Determined to sneak him out of Argentina to stand trial in Israel, Malkin and Eichmann engage in an intense and gripping game of cat-and-mouse.
