The Tabernacle is now complete, Aaron and his sons have been invested as High Priests, and the congregation has created all they need to travel towards the land promised them.

What did these new Jews learn from the making of the Tabernacle? We’ll explore this intriguing question at our Shabbat morning service this March 13th. We look forward to seeing you there!

Tot Shabbat will begin at 10 am; Shabbat services begin at 10:45.

Arranged
A beautiful story that illustrates that friendship has no religion. This heartwarming film portrays the friendship between an Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim woman who meet as first-year teachers at a public school in Brooklyn. As their friendship grows, they learn that they share much in common - not least of which is they are both going through the process of arranged marriages. Sweetly funny moments combined with distinct narrative make this an insightful viewing experience. Winner, Audience Awards at the Washington and Palm Beach Jewish Film Festivals, 2007. To be followed by an interfaith panel discussion.

A Matter of Size
A run-away hit in Israel and at Jewish film festivals across the United States, this heartwarming film will keep audiences smiling and wanting more! Part sports drama, part love story, this is the sweet and absurdly funny tale of four overweight guys- with low self-esteem - who decide to abandon their weight-loss group and start a Sumo wrestling club in Israel. While training, they discover the soul of sumo, realizing that love and success will only come from being true to themselves. A smart, funny and honest comedy reminiscent of other feel-good crowd-pleasers such as The Full Monty.Winner of Jury Prize for Best Comedy, Traverse City Film Festival and nominated for 13 Israeli Academy Awards (winner of Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress).
