Jewish Films
This year, Hanukkah begins on December 21st. In addition to our Holiday Gift Guide, we thought we would offer a collection highlighting some of our films about Judaism. But these aren't your usual Hanukkah film fare. Here you'll find the NY Times Critics' Pick, Orthodox Stance, the true story of Dmitriy Salita, a 25 year-old Russian immigrant who is making history as a top professional boxer and rigorously observant Jew; the best-selling documentary TOOTS which focuses on famous New York restauranteur, Toots Shor; and the award-winning short film The Ladies, about two elderly sisters who are forced to move out of their couture shop on Lexington Avenue but continue to run their business out of their apartment as they reflect on the future of their dying craft.
Now you can get these and all of the great titles in this collection for 20% Off.
