The Arts Committee of Temple Beth El is hosting its annual Jewish film festival with a series of three entertaining and uplifting films this summer. The viewings will take place in the social hall of the temple, located at the corner of Court and Tioga Streets in Ithaca.
The next two films include: The Sturgeon Queens and Bagels in the Blood on July 25th, and The Bands Visit on August 22nd at 7 PM.
The Strugeon Queens - The story of the famed Lower East Side smoked fish emporium Russ & Daughters and the Jewish immigrant family who has run it for 100 years and four generations. Features interviews with the original Russ Daughters, now 92 and 100 years old, and prominent customers including Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, actor Maggie Gyllenhaal, and chef Mario Batali.
Bagels in the Blood - Nestled between shops in a residential neighborhood in French Montreal lies a quiet brownstone building, an old converted house with a wood fired oven in the back. Irwin Shlafman, third-generation owner of famous bagel shop Fairmount Bagel, shows us how it all started.
