10th Beckerman Jewish Film Series

This year, the Beckerman Jewish Film Series is going virtual. Enjoy unique and inspiring storytelling from the comfort of your home and participate in themed discussions with fellow movie viewers online. Through the medium of film, we celebrate the diversity and joy of humanity and the powerful influence of Jewish artistry in our lives.

How it Works

We are proud to screen a collection of 13 films from February to May 2021. Films are grouped in categories to help facilitate a post-screening discussion. When you purchase your ticket(s), you will receive an email with link(s) to the film(s). The links will be active for a specified week. You will have a full week to watch the film(s) at your convenience. A discussion will take place via Zoom after the last film in the category has been screened. Tickets are available for purchase per film or in a bundle. Each purchase includes entrance to the corresponding Zoom discussion:
