Saturday, September 28, 2024 • 25 Elul 5784
7:45 PM - 9:45 PMThis year we will show the 2017 Israeli film, “The Cakemaker.” This beautifully told narrative is about an Israeli man, Oren, who has an affair with a German baker, Thomas, when he travels to Berlin on business. Oren is killed in a car accident and Thomas travels to Jerusalem to understand Oren’s life and meet his family.
Join us for the film and for the moving Selichot service which serves as a prelude to the holiday season.
