Tuesday, 3rd October
Dinner at 6:45 PM in the OLS Sukkah
Film screening to follow in The UJC Sanctuary
Join the UJC and Ohel Leah as together we celebrate the incredible life of Harry Odell, who was a member of the Hong Kong Jewish community for over 50 years. Flamboyant and cigar-chomping, Harry Odell was a Cairo-born, Shanghai-raised, Russian Jew who stamped his mark on the cultural life of post-war Hong Kong. His hopeful, if chronically loss-making adventures pushed the cultural frontiers of his adopted home, capturing the open, dynamic and inclusive spirit of a bygone era to leave a legacy that resonates to this day.
A pukka English fish & chips dinner will be served in the OLS sukkah followed by a screening of the film, TO BE CONTINUED, in the UJC Sanctuary. The filmmakers and other special guests will be in attendance.
Cost: HK$350 (UJC and OLS members); HK$700 (non-members)
Date & Time: Tuesday, 3rd October, 6:45 PM
RSVP to ujc@ujc.org.hk by Friday, 29th September.
