PRESENTS
Yaniv TONIGHT, Wednesday, August 6, 7-9pm at the Stowe Cinema movie tickets are $15 at the door
Yaniv is a surprising, twisty dark comedy about a Jewish high school teacher in an underserved school in the Bronx whose funding for the school’s Spring Musical is cut by the administration. He visits his Grandfather to ask how he raised extra money. His Zaida tells him that he played a high-stakes version of the card game Yaniv at an underground location run by the Hasidic Community.
Join us for Shabbat morning service and to celebrate as Neil is called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah. Mazel tov to the whole Erickson family. This week's parshah/Torah portion is V'Etchanan. Learn more about Neil HERE
