Jewish Film in America (the 1980s): “Crossing Delancey”
Sunday, August 27, 2017, 8:00 pm

Director Joan Micklin Silver (“Hester Street”) returns to the Lower East Side with this delightful romantic comedy starring Amy Irving (“Yentl”). Thirty-something Isabelle (Izzy) Grossman is torn between the Upper West Side intellectual group she longs to be a part of, and Sam, the pickle man, whom her grandmother (played by Yiddish stage star Reizl Bozyk in her only film role) arranges for her to meet through her friend the matchmaker.

Stand Against Hate (Saturday, August 19, 8:00pm)

Please join us this Saturday night, August 19, at 8:00pm,  as we take back the light at night.  Last weekend we witnessed anti-Semitic and racist rallies which ended in a horrific attack and more of these marches/rallies are scheduled around the country this weekend.  Please join us to denounce this hate as we sing, talk, and act to bring more light into our community and country.  Our time together will end with havdalah, the Jewish ceremony marking the end of Shabbat.  This ceremony uses a braided candle which represents unity and people coming together.  Everyone is welcome to join us.  We welcome all our friends and neighbors.  If you would like to participate, please contact rabbi@tbemc.org.
