FREE FILM

Take a break from cleaning your kitchen and come see PASSOVER FEVER at B'nai Shalom of Olney's Free Film Festival! Sunday, Aprkl 9th at 7:30PM.
Holidays have a way of setting off anxieties and unearthing long-buried disagreements, resentment and anger in families. The Seder, a meal that honors Passover, is no different. This riveting Israeli film highlights the experiences of one brood who, amidst the traditional unraveling of the dinner, discover that they're plagued by modern problems that can't, or won't, disappear. Now, they must deal with the tensions laid before them like a feast.
