FREE FILM FESTIVAL - THE HEBREW HAMMER
TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS WILL LOVE THIS ONE!

Sunday, December 10th at 7:00pm. This hilarious and outrageous comedy stars Adam Goldberg as Mordechai, an Orthodox Jewish "superhero detective" who joins the Jewish Justice League and pairs up with Esther (Judy Greer) to stop the evil machinations of Damien (the always-wacky Andy Dick), son of Santa (Richard Riehle), who aims to wipe out Hanukkah from calendars forever. Mordechai and Esther enlist the aid of Mohammed (Mario Van Peebles), a superhero protecting Kwanzaa.

HAVURAH FORMING

A Havurah is currently forming for families with children ranging in age from 6-12.

If you are interested in joining please contact Sharon Agranov at (301) 260-9303 or sharonagranov@verizon.net. [Download an Application ]
