Join JFCS and Congregation Neveh Shalom for a
MOVIE MATINEE
Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles
Wednesday January 21
Join the JFCS ‘ Senior Social Hour and Congregation Neveh Shalom’s Wondering Jews 65+ for a special movie matinee of Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles, the lively documentary that digs into how Fiddler on the Roof became a cultural touchstone.
We’ll enjoy popcorn and classic movie snacks while watching rare archival footage and delightful interviews with familiar favorites, including Harvey Fierstein, Lin-Manuel Miranda, original Fiddler lyricist Sheldon Harnick, director Joel Grey, Topol, and other beloved figures who bring the musical’s story to life.
The film traces how Fiddler, when it opened on Broadway in 1964, boldly explored tradition, religion, and anti-Semitism while engaging with emerging conversations around gender roles, sexuality, and race—making it both timely and timeless.
Come for the movie, stay for the company—this is a warm, social afternoon to gather, connect, and enjoy a great film together.
