The Human Resources Manager
Wednesday, February 15th at 1 pm
Meeting Room of the library
The Human Resources Manager of Jerusalem’s largest bakery is in trouble.
He is separated from his wife, distanced from his daughter and stuck in a job
he hates. When one of his employees, a foreign worker, is killed in a suicide
bombing, the bakery is accused of indifference, and the HR Manager is sent to
the victim’s hometown in Romania to make amends. Far from home, on a
mission to honor a woman he didn’t even know but has somehow grown to
admire, the HR Manager rediscovers his own humanity and his ability to truly
care for human resources.
