Brooklyn Israel Film Festival


Season 2 of "Srugim", a popular Israeli TV series, followed by an opening snack and wine reception, will kick off the Brooklyn Israel Film Festival tonight at the Kane Street Synagogue. The Synagogue has been hosting the festival since 2004 and has attracted a lot of attention from both the media and film lovers alike.

"Srugim" "depicts the lives and loves of a group of modern Orthodox Jewish singles living in Jerusalem’s Katamon neighborhood, as they navigate the frequently contradictory worlds of contemporary Israel and traditional observance.", according to the synopsis on kanestreet.org. A coming-of-age story, as well as an award winning film, "The Matchmaker", will be screening Saturday night and you can see award winning documentary "Blood Relation" on Sunday.
