Ben-Hur's plot follows Judah Ben-Hur (played by Ramon Novarro), a Jewish prince who lives during the time when Jesus Christ was campaigning among the hippies of the first century to promote love and introspection among the downtrodden, oppressed Jews under Roman rule. Ben-Hur embarks upon an epic struggle between himself and Messala (Francis X. Bushman), a Roman soldier and former friend. An epic chariot race between Messala and Ben-Hur forms the climax of the movie. [Sanford]'s score provided a wide variety of musical elements that sometimes commented on the movie itself, while at other times elaborated on a perspective in light of modern predicaments. For example, Sanford composed a psychotic, foreboding, free-jazz vignette during a scene in which Messala recites a key line of dialogu...
Ben-Hur" meets "Old MacDonald" in "The Lion of Judah," a production from a company called Animated Family Films. If you suspect "Family" is a code word for "Christian," you are correct, because this is a computer-generated cartoon in which one of the most significant utterances in Western civilization - "It is finished," the final words of Christ on the cross, according to the Gospel of John - occurs before an audience consisting of a horse, a cow, an ass, a pig, a rat, a chicken and a couple of ravens.
DIMONA, Israel, Feb. 3 - Four decades after they heard what they call an angel's order to leave the United States and move to Israel, a vegan community popularly known as "the Black Hebrews" has finally received its own piece of the Holy Land. Identifying themselves as African Hebrew Israelites and descendants of the Tribe of Judah, the Black Hebrews began arriving in Israel in 1969, following Ben Carter, a Chicago steelworker who renamed himself Ben Ammi Ben Israel (Hebrew, "Son of My People, Son of Israel") and claimed to be God's representative on earth. The government, unsure where they fit in Israel's Law of Return that grants every Jew automatic citizenship, moved them to the sleepy desert town of Dimona - the site of Israel's not-so-secret nuclear reactor - and left them on tempo...
Entries have been recast for the sake of clarity or to enforce a more economical style. Some correct errors. An example is the entry "Evolution". In the New Encyclopedia it incorrectly states that the theory was "propounded" by Darwin. The offending word has been replaced in the Student's Encyclopedia with "developed". At the same time, features which made the New Encyclopedia difficult to use have been retained. For example, "Judah Halevi" and Yohanan (here, "Johanan") ben Zakkai are both found under the letter "J" in the text and index. The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia which I used as a boy was a general compendium on Jewish life. But the New Encyclopedia of Judaism -- and the Student's Encyclopedia of Judaism -- restrict the word "Judaism" to the Jewish religion.
Rabbi Victor Urecki sounded like WWE ring announcer Vince McMahon as he called the young contestants to the center of the fellowship room of Congregation Bnai Jacob. And from this table, weighing in at 78 pounds, its Jacob Stern, Urecki bellowed. The children listened intently to hear their names called, for a turn to step up to the table and spin the traditional Hanukkah toy, the dreidel. A small wooden top, the toy is spun, and as it lands, whichever symbol lands on top determines the winner. Urecki continued, Its the best two out of three in this round weve hit the Elite Eight! As Stern and Ben Kuhl later took their places in the finals of the spin-off, one young observer deadpanned in his best sportscaster voice: You can cut the tension in this social hall with a knife. Stern spun....

In stores TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON (2011, Paramount, PG-13, $20) -- After the nonsensical "Revenge of the Fallen," action maestro Michael Bay rights the ship with the third film in the mammoth metal- on-metal trilogy. The Decepticons and Autobots are still going at it -- with Earth caught in the middle -- but this time around, there's more human distractions to the mechanized chaos, including characters played by John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, John Turturro, Patrick Dempsey and "The Hangover's" Ken Jeong. Once again Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf) saves the world but not before a long, fiery, car-smashing, skyscraper-falling, 'bot-pummeling finale. Extras: none.

MOSCOW -- The book that made "Gulag" a synonym for the horrors of Soviet oppression will be taught in Russian high schools, a generation after the Kremlin banned it as destructive to the Communist cause and exiled its author. The Education Ministry said Wednesday that excerpts of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago," published in 1973, are to be required reading for students.
