Beth El Night at the JxJ Jewish Film and Music Festival
May 8 at 7:30 pm
$14
One of the highlights of the year is almost here! The Edlavitch DCJCC’s JxJ: DC Jewish Film and Music Festival begins on May 8 and runs through May 18. Once again, Beth El has a special opportunity.
Starting now through April 30, tickets for the opening night presentation of Bad Shabbos at Landmark Bethesda Row are reserved exclusively for Beth El members!* Join your Beth El friends and community on Thursday, May 8 at 7:30pm, for this special screening of Bad Shabbos, winner of the top audience prize at the Tribeca Film Festival. This darkly hilarious, highly entertaining, one-night-in-New-York story turns a Shabbat family dinner into a chaotic whirlwind they will never forget.
Kyra Sedgwick shines as the neurotic matriarch, leading an outstanding ensemble cast that includes Method Man, Milana Vayntrub, Catherine Curtin, and more familiar faces. The film’s rapid-fire dialogue, twisty script, and masterful editing keep the chaotic momentum going, delivering pure comedic gold. With its blend of family antics, sharp humor, and a warm heart, Bad Shabbos is a charmingly modern screwball comedy that brilliantly captures the hilarity and madness of one family’s unforgettable Shabbat.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of the second annual Beth El Night at JxJ. Last year, Beth El filled the theater – let’s do it again this year!
Tickets are $14 each.
