Havdalah
and
Film
"My
Architect,
A
Son’s
Journey"
Architect/artist
and
Kol
HaLev
member
Steven
Shapiro
will
introduce
the
film
”My
Architect,
A
Son’s
Journey”
and
help
to
put
the
architect
Louis
Kahn
and
his
work
in
a
Jewish
context.
The
film
is
described
on
its
jacket
as:
“A
riveting
tale
of
love,
art,
betrayal
and
forgiveness
in
which
the
illegitimate
son
of
a
legendary
architect
undertakes
a
worldwide
exploration
to
discover
his
father’s
work
and
to
understand
the
personal
choices
he
made.”
Kahn’s
work
is
brilliant,
mysterious,
monumental
and
spiritual.
He
is
arguably
the
most
influential
American
architect
since
Frank
Lloyd
Wright.
In
his
work
many
have
found,
including
the
architectural
historian
Vincent
Scully,
a
particular
Jewish
perspective.
