Love this team. For 2 years, it has been my joy to be on the board of @VJFF. Opening night was a huge success. Our festival kicks off this weekend, and there is truly something for everyone. See you at the movies! 🎬 vjff.org/2024-festival/

“Judaism gave him the space to ask questions and to speak with God directly, though giving up belief in Jesus was hard, he admits.” Adam is one of the potential converts interviewed in the documentary Converts: The Journey of Becoming Jewish. jewishindependent.ca/the-choice-to-… @VJFF

As the @VJFF approaches, the Jewish Independent reviews three more of the festival’s offerings: A Radiant Girl, All About the Levkovitches and One More Story. Photo: A Radiant Girl (still from film) jewishindependent.ca/history-family…

This year’s @VJFF offers many poignant films – dramas sprinkled with humour that invite contemplation, and hope that we flawed humans are capable of change and loving one another, despite our insecurities and differences. jewishindependent.ca/movies-that-of…
