A long-lost documentary about the pre-World War II Zionist community is scheduled to be screened next week in New York. “The Life of the Jews in Palestine,” which was filmed in Palestine in 1913, was discovered three years ago in a French film archive. The 78-minute film was restored and shown in Jerusalem in 1998.
