BETH TIKVAH from page 1
gational community, can satisfy Qieir needs."
In the meantime, several members of the synagogue have stepped forward to offer their services or talents for the day-to^lay needs of the congregation.
Each Shabbat, congregants have led services and d'var Torah discussions, read from the Torah and performed a variety of other ritual activities.
"It's been a challenging year but also rewarding to see that pioneering spirit that we had 25 years ago when we had to depend on each other's abilities and initiative," RossofTsaid. "I think that has laeen a very positive aspect of this lull in spiritual leadership."
Beth Tikvah has also received assistance from other rabbis within the Jewish community of Greater Vancouver.
For this year's Hi^ Holy Days, Rabbi Pinchas Giller, a professor at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, will lead Beth Tik-vah's services.
Giller came recommended by Cohen, as well as by Rabbi Len Muroff, who came fix)m the same university to do pulpit work for Beth 'Tikvah last year.
"[Giller is] an inspiring person just to speak to on the phone so I think he'll have a very poignant message for the community at a time it really needs it," said Rossoff.
Beth Tikvah will also welcome off-Broadway singer, actor and playwright Andrew Lippa back to serve as the cantor for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kip-pur services.
Lippa developed a cormection with the congregation two years ago, when he was in town performing in a play at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. He will bring much-needed continuity to the services.
"He has engaged the congregation as a friend and it has hcan a mutual love affair," said Rossoff. "He's a lightning rod of energy, Yiddishkeit and talent" □
Jewish films at the VIFF
The 19th Vancouver International Film Festival, which runs Sept 22 to Oct. 5, features two Jewish-subject films: Divided We Fall and One Day in September, Divided We Fall comes from the Czech Republic and is directed by Jan Hrebejk. It is a blade comedy set in the last years of the Second World War. A Czech couple hides a Jewish former neighbor, and their fight for survival and dignity is made more difficult by unexpected twists of fate.
This movie, which is sponsored by the Jewish Western Bulletin, is being shown Friday, Sept 22,7 p.m., at the Tinseltown 8; Sunday, Sept 24,4 p.m., at the Hollywood Theatre; and Wednesday, Sept 27,7 p.m., at the Ridge Theatre.
One Day in September is a film fhim Great Britain. It is a searing account of the deadly hostage-taking at the Munich Olympics in 1972 that left 11 Israeli athletes and five Palestinian terrorists dead following a botched police raid. Using extensive original footage of the incident, as well as re-enactments and interviews, filmmaker Kevin Macdonald captures the violence and despair of the crisis.
One Day has two showings: Monday, Oct. 2, 7 p.m., at the Van East Cinema, and Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2:30 p.m., at Vancouver Centre.
