This month’s Kol Shalom Movie Night will be held on Saturday, January 23 at 7 PM. Click here for the Zoom link.
The featured movie will be Hester Street, a 1975 romantic black-and-white film which tells the story of Jewish immigrants who come to the Lower East Side of New York City in 1896 from Eastern Europe, and live on Hester Street in Manhattan. The film is noteworthy for its detailed reconstruction of Jewish immigrant life in New York at the turn of the century - much of the dialogue is delivered in Yiddish with English subtitles. In 2011, Hester Street was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
