Because June 1 was a holiday in most of Europe (Whit Monday, the day after Pentecost), all of my lessons for that day were canceled. David needed to go to Rambam, so we took advantage of the free day to do that.
June 1 was also the 13th anniversary of our wedding at Beth Chayim Chadashim, so we wanted to celebrate that, too. We decided to check out the movies at Cinemall (formerly called Kanyon Lev HaMifratz), in Haifa. We managed to figure out that they were showing the new StarTrek movie, so that's what we saw, and we did enjoy it. In fact, this is the very first movie that we have seen in a theater since we arrived here in Israel nearly 3 and a half years ago! The experience was so similar to an American theater that, despite the Hebrew subtitles, I was almost startled when the usher said להתראות l'hitraot ("Bye" in Hebrew) to us as we were leaving!

You didn't have a hafsaka? That threw us when we went to our first movie (also Star Trek!) here. Assigned seats, kosher parve popcorn! and an intermission. Go figure :)
Belated happy anniversary
No, we didn't have a hafsaka like you did. Except for the Hebrew subtitles (which I, of course, mostly ignored!) and the assigned seats, it was a very American experience. I don't know about the popcorn; we didn't get any because we had just eaten lunch.
