Join us on the third Tuesday of each month, from December 2026 through May 2027, for a journey through classic and lesser-known Jewish-themed cinema. Featuring acclaimed films from genres including drama, comedy, romance, and historical narrative, the series explores the richness and diversity of Jewish life, culture, history, and identity. Each screening offers insight into the social, cultural, and historical contexts that shaped these works and their continuing relevance. Curated by Peter Haas and Eric Kisch, the series includes a brief introduction and historical background before each film, followed by a lively Q&A discussion following the movie projection.
Pickle Recipe: (US 2015 in English). Hilarious little known comedy of a Jewish family with a secret! Jerry Miller is the undisputed king of Detroit party MCs. He’s also a single father and deeply in debt. To make matters worse, all his sound equipment is destroyed in a freak accident. His daughter’s Bat-Mitzvah is only weeks away and she is counting on him to MC. At his wit’s end, he turns to shady Uncle Marty who agrees to give him the needed money, but – he has to steal his grandmother’s famous pickle recipe, the secret of which she has vowed to take to her grave!
