MANCHESTER BRANCH LIBRARY TO SHOW,
“BAD DAY TO GO FISHING”
MANCHESTER – The Manchester Library will screen, “Bad Day to Go Fishing” on Wednesday, March 16, at 2:00 p.m. and again at 6:00 pm. See this popular foreign film on a large screen without paying the admission fee of a movie theater!
Washed-up wrestling champion Jacob van Oppen and his conniving manager, Orsini, make a living staging fake wrestling matches in small South American Towns. Orsini never has trouble finding the right opponent to throw the fight but when they arrive in the village of Santa Maria where they promise $1000 to anyone who can stay in the ring with the champ for three minutes, they get more than they bargained for.
The dialogue is in Spanish and English with English subtitles. It is part of the library’s monthly Independent Film Series. Registration is not required. This program is open all ages although it is geared toward adults.

Manchester Branch Library’s Jewish Book and Film
Discussion Club to Hold Meeting
MANCHESTER, NJ – The Manchester Branch Library’s Shalom Book and Film Discussion Club that focuses on Jewish themed literature and movies, will meet on Friday, March 18 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig is the group leader. She is an English professor at Ocean County College and lecturer on all aspects of Yiddish culture throughout Ocean and Monmouth counties.
The subject of March’s discussion is a book by Sandy Tolan: The Lemon Tree: An Arab, A Jew and the Heart of the Middle East. The title refers to a tree in the backyard of a home in Ramla, Israel. The home is currently owned by Dalia, a Jewish woman whose family of Holocaust survivors emigrated from Bulgaria. But before Israel gained its independence in 1948, the house was owned by the Palestinian family of Bashir, who meets Dalia when he returns to see his family home after the Six-Day War of 1967. Tolan traces the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the parallel personal histories of Dalia and Bashir and their families—all refugees seeking a home. As the story progresses, Dalia struggles with her Israeli identity, and Bashir struggles with decades in Israeli prisons for suspected terrorist activities.
This program is open to the adult public, free of charge. However, space is very limited so it is necessary to register in advance by calling 732.657.7600 or by going online to www.theoceancountylibrary.org.
