THE FLOATERS
TUES, AUG 11 • 1 & 6:30 PM
Rialto Cinemas, Sebastopol
You won't want to miss this summer experience.
Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the floaters. When their rival camp – led by Mara and Nomi’s nemesis Daniel – issues a high stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi pushes the limits and loses Mara’s trust. Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive.
Framed through multigenerational perspectives, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

TISHA B'AV
SAT, JULY 18 • 6:30 - 10:30 PM
St. Stephens Outdoor Sanctuary
Tisha B'Av is the deepest well of grief in the Jewish calendar.
| | |
This year, we will gather around sacred fire for an evening of communal grief tending. Sacred fire has accompanied the Jewish people throughout our history: fire on the altar, fire of revelation, fire of destruction, and fire that burns within each human heart.
On this night, we will enter the ritual first with teachings of Tisha B'Av, sacred fire, and the wisdom of grief as a pathway of healing. Then we will enter a space for song, silence, prayer, movement and tears.
