SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A WHITE ELEPHANT EVENING?

No doubt over the years you’ve all been given a present that you really didn’t like / need / want. It’s probably very nice – it just isn’t you.  Well here’s your chance to exchange it for something else more to your liking and go home satisfied (though in truth we can’t really guarantee that). What we can guarantee, though, is that you’ll enjoy the funny side of the evening.

The only thing we insist upon is that the gift must be new and unused and it must have some value that someone else would appreciate. And at least one item per participant. If you bring two or three then you will go home with the same amount as you brought. The items must be wrapped in newspaper or whatever making them unidentifiable.

The actual rules of the game will be explained at the start of the evening.

For the first time in Israel in English and featuring professional actors and our very own Ian Levitt, Israel Musicals presents Mel Brooks’s “The Producers”

The Feel-Good Make-You-Laugh Musical

This is the story of an unlikely pair of producers who determine that they can make more money with a flop than with a hit. To make their scheme work, they find the most outrageous and insulting musical possible, a sure-to-close-on-opening-night catastrophe. They will then take their elderly investors’ money and run away to Rio. Mel gives us a masterpiece of farce with infectious tunes, such as Keep It Gay, I Wanna Be A Producer, When You Got It, Flaunt It, and, following in the spirit of Charlie Chaplin, Springtime for Hitler.

Sound like bad taste? You bet! It’s the most inspired bad taste you’ll ever see.

Normal entrance price NIS 120, but with group reduction for HOB members NIS 100!

After the main service, solemn act of remembrance and laying of wreaths,  we will go to the Jewish section where memorial prayers will be recited.

We are then invited back to the British Ambassador’s residence in Ramat Gan for refreshments. If you would like to attend please contact  Ruth Barina (see above) as soon as possible so that we can arrange transport.
