re: #6 SanFranciscoZionist

If you’ve not seen it, I strongly also recommend “Ushpizin”, which while not made for the haredi community, featured haredi actors, and is a really well-done look at the community.

Saw it and fell in love with it. The husband & wife were too adorable. Y’know, even though our traditions are different, there’s an odd sort of familiarity when watching them. I was able to relate to a lot of their struggles.

I can count the movies I’ve watched more than once on one hand, but the recent passing of Yom Kippur reminded me of Ushpizin and made me want to see it again. I think I’ll do that this weekend and maybe make it a yearly Yom Kippur tradition. Weird? LOL, maybe, but I don’t care—it’s a great story with a good message.

And have I nagged you to see “Wedding Song”? Muslim/Jewish girl buddy movie set in WWII era Tunis. Could kill you with sadness, but very, very good.

Yes, you have and I did. It was indeed very good, but very sad. Painful to watch.
