SUMMARY:Literary Luncheon - Marilyn Simon Rothstein
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nPlease join us for the Barbara Eisenberg Literary Luncheon with author Marilyn Simon Rothstein on Wednesday\, December 10 at 12:30 pm.  \nAuthor Marilyn Simon Rothstein wittily discusses the relationships between parents and their children and grandchildren in her novel Who Loves You Best. The story revolves around Jodi Wexler\, a grandmother who travels to help her daughter with her granddaughter and discovers she has to compete with two other “grandmothers.”  \nThe relationship between the three women evolves from dislike\, self-centered jealousy\, and oneupmanship to something more positive. Their newfound sense of unity grows out of an understanding that they need to do what is best for the granddaughter\, Macallen. Who Loves You Best is a relatable and funny novel. \nMarilyn Simon Rothstein is the author of Who Loves You Best\, Crazy to Leave You\, Husbands and Other Sharp Objects\, Lift and Separate. She grew up in NYC\, earned a B.S. in journalism from NYU\, an M.A. in Jewish Studies\, began her writing career at Seventeen Magazine\, married a man she met in an elevator\, and owned an advertising agency for twenty-five years.

SUMMARY:Matchmaking 2 - Israeli Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nOn Monday\, December 15\, 7:30 pm\, step into the world of love\, laughter\, and a touch of mischief with Israel’s biggest box office hit of the year\, Matchmaking 2\, the long-awaited sequel to Erez Tadmor’s beloved 2022 romance that took the world by storm. Full of joy\, warmth\, and the ultimate romantic entanglements\, this refreshing and feel-good romantic drama returns to the charming world of Orthodox Jewish dating\, telling a heartfelt and humorous tale of tradition\, family\, and finding love in the most unexpected places. \nThe spotlight now shines on Baruch (Maor Schwitzer\, from the internationally acclaimed show Shtisel and also at the Festival with Air War)\, an endearing bachelor who’s no longer the fresh-faced groom hopeful\, but still holding out for his perfect match. In the pressure cooker of Haredi matchmaking\, men and women alike are urged to settle down\, and Baruch’s vibrant\, tough-love matchmaker\, Malki (Irit Kaplan from beloved Israeli show The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem and Academy Award entry Foxtrot)\, won’t let him off the hook just yet. \nEndlessly witty\, visually rapturous\, and sweetly romantic\, Matchmaking 2 is a Romeo and Juliet-like saga (sans the tragedy!) of two young\, eligible ultra-Orthodox singles looking for a match. But it isn’t just about finding love\, it’s a tender\, side-splitting celebration of clashing traditions and big-hearted characters\, starring some of Israel’s most dazzling young talents. \nThe Israeli Film Series is presented in partnership with The Miami Jewish Film Festival and generously sponsored by South Pointe Tavern.

SUMMARY:Forgiveness - Israeli Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nJoin us for the Israeli Film Series Screening of Forgiveness\, on Monday\, January 5\, 7:30 PM. \nGuy Amir and Hanan Savyon\, the acclaimed writers and stars behind Israeli smash-hits Asfur\, Ma Bakarish\, and MJFF 2018 acclaimed film Maktub (one of the biggest box office hits in Israeli history!)\, return to the big screen with this resoundingly fun and warm-hearted caper comedy. Set during the Days of Awe in a small town in southern Israel\, Guy and Hanan play two friends\, Nissan and Shaul\, who are bumbling thieves that are hilariously and desperately attempting to pull off a heist. While Nissan flees abroad\, Shaul is caught and sent to prison. Featuring an all-star cast including Alon Aboutboul (The Band’s Visit)\, Noa Koler (also in the Festival with The Conductor)\, and Tsahi Halevi (also in the Festival with Mossad)\, Forgiveness tells the crowd-pleasing story of what happens when Shaul is released and goes home to seek forgiveness from his wife\, while Nissan comes back to Israel as a newly observant Jew also asking forgiveness from his friend. \nThe Israeli Film Series is presented in partnership with The Miami Jewish Film Festival and generously sponsored by South Pointe Tavern.

SUMMARY:Road to Eilat - Israeli Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nJoin us for the Israeli Film Series Screening of Road to Eilat\, on Monday\, January 5\, 7:30 PM. \nWinner of Best Israeli Film\, Best Actor\, and Best Cinematography at the Jerusalem Film Festival\, and nominated for an additional 8 Israeli Academy Awards (Ophirs)\, Road to Eilat is a semi-autobiographical bittersweet tale about estranged father and son Kibbutzniks who set off on an eventful road trip across Israel on an old tractor. The story centers around Albert\, an aging war veteran brilliantly portrayed by Shmuel Vilozni (MJFF films Fractures and And Then She Arrived)\, who one fateful night impulsively makes a drunken bet: that he will drive his rundown old tractor all the way to Eilat. Ben\, his grumpy and jobless son\, is reluctantly roped into the adventure. Together\, this feisty odd couple embarks on an extraordinary journey across the entire expanse of Israel\, chugging along at a steady 35 km/h pace\, with the ambitious goal of completing the trip in just one week. Along the way\, their comical and poignant road trip leads to forgiveness and understanding as they travel from their kibbutz through the overlooked corners of Israel\, encountering fellow travelers who share their hope for a brighter future and a better life. \nThe Israeli Film Series is presented in partnership with The Miami Jewish Film Festival and generously sponsored by South Pointe Tavern.
