When Rob Schwartz, founder of the Hidden Light Institute (HLI) and a former chief of staff to Senator Joe Lieberman, approached Stamford resident Judith Lupatkin-Bernstein for support for his planned documentary on the life of Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, the idea struck a deep chord within her. “I have a passion for filmmaking, for how film reflects on culture and for how culture is reflected by film,” said Lupatkin-Bernstein, who has worked for USA Networks and NBCUniversal and is now manager of program marketing at HBO. “I love being able to combine so many parts of my life in one project: my love of the Jewish people, my love of documentaries, and my love of marketing films.” Today, Lupatkin-Bernstein is vice chair of the board of HLI and the film “Upheaval: The Journey of Menachem Begin” is earning plaudits at festivals around the country.
NORWALK, Conn. Some Norwalk announcements for you:
A South Norwalk detour
Eversource: Don’t be swindled
Woodward Avenue pedestrian upgrade
Sidewalk work is resuming on Woodward Avenue, and with it a detour between Meadow Street and Burritt Avenue.
That stretch of South Norwalk roadway will be one-way northbound between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., Norwalk Communications Director Josh Morgan. Other traffic will be detoured. This, every weekday until the project is completed. The work was scheduled to begin Thursday; NancyOnNorwalk visited Thursday and found no detour.

The City approved new Woodward Avenue sidewalks in July, a move that was hailed as long overdue. Mayor Harry Rilling called the sidewalks “horrible” and said, “You can’t expect a mother with a stroller or somebody who has a walker to navigate that. This is going to be a really great thing for that area.”
