About the Program
The Contemporary Jewish Museum and Reboot, are pleased to announce DAWN '08, an all-night, arts and culture festival and celebration of Shavuot at the grand opening of the Contemporary Jewish Museum, offering guests the opportunity to groove, learn, explore and mingle at the Museum's new building and exhibition space before the doors open to the public the following morning.
Dengue Fever
DAWN '08 presents a modern twist on Shavuot's traditional all-night rabbinical study sessions: taking place simultaneously throughout the Museum, the evening will offer both ritual and offbeat revelry with ongoing headlining performances and events including a live performance by the band Dengue Fever, a conversation with Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated, theatrical and spoken word performances, premiere film screenings, visual arts, dancing, DJs, lectures, comedy, and open-space discussion forums.
The evening's film series will include back to back screenings of shorts, documentaries, and several film premieres, including the West Coast debut of Sons of Sakhnin United, a film that covers the quixotic journey of B'Nei Sakhnin, the first Arab soccer team to become champions of Israel.
