Temple B'nai Abraham is proud to be a community sponsor for the New Jersey Jewish Film Festival. 

As part of our sponsorship, we have 20 tickets to see the Israeli movie Arugam Bay. Please join us for nibbles before the show at 6:30 PM; the movie begins at 7 PM. A talkback conversation with film professor Stuart Weinstock, who is also JCC MetroWest Director of Film, follows.

About the movie (you can see the trailer here): After completing their military service, three Israeli surfers set out on a soul-searching trip to the southeast coast of Sri Lanka, while grieving their friend’s death in combat near Beirut. As they explore the tropical paradise of Arugam Bay, meeting both locals and other expats, the bonds of their friendship are tested by long-suppressed emotions and trauma. With an outstanding ensemble cast starring Joy Rieger (past NJJFF films Greener Pastures and June Zero), Yadin Gelman (Image of Victory), and Maor Schwitzer (Matchmaking, Shtisel), Arugam Bay captures a uniquely Israeli coming-of-age journey that resonates deeply today.
