WRT WINTER FILM SERIES WITH RABBI BLAKE 

THE JEWISH MOTHER IN CINEMA

Join Rabbi Blake as we continue our winter tradition of screening films of Jewish interest, followed by probing conversation. This winter, we will explore the character of the Jewish mother in cinema, unpacking both the stereotypes and the subversive messages depicted on screen. 

Bring a friend and we will bring the movie, snacks, and beverages. All programs begin at 2:00 pm at WRT. Although there is no charge for these events, you must register separately for each film you plan to attend.
