Movie Haiku:Terrifically edited & thoroughly enjoyable doc takes something you thought you already knew & turns it inside out. The song "Hava Nagila" was born in Ukraine, nurtured in Israel, and came to full force in America, which then sent it out into the world. Modern Jewish History has rarely been so well-taught: we laughed (a lot), sniffled (a little) & had a great time!
