SUMMARY:Double Take Israel - Marriage
DESCRIPTION:Join us for films\, stories\, and conversations that reveal Israel through cinema — complex\, emotional\, funny\, and real. A fresh way to experience Israel — watch\, talk\, and see life from new angles! \n\n\n\nIn February\, we’re diving into weddings in Israel — and everything around them — from the ceremony itself to the unique tradition of a full week of Sheva Brachot celebrations. \n\n\n\nFilm: “Seven Blessings” (2023)\, directed by Ayelet Menahemi.Summary: Marie was just two years old when her mother\, following a Moroccan Jewish tradition\, gave her to her infertile sister. Forty years later\, in 1990s Israel\, Marie returns from France to marry the love of her life\, led to the chuppah by her two “mothers.” Her lively\, loving family prepares a week of Sheva Brachot feasts in her honor — but Marie arrives carrying unresolved pain. As the food flows and the table fills\, old secrets surface\, tensions rise\, and buried truths demand to be heard. What unfolds is a bittersweet\, funny\, and deeply human story about family\, forgiveness\, and everything that was never said. \n\n\n\nPre-screening talk highlights:-What is Sheva Brachot and why does it last a whole week in Israel-How wedding traditions differ across Jewish communities in Israel-The fascinating Moroccan Jewish practice of “child lending” \n\n\n\nThis program is free. RSVP is required. We hope that you will support the Shlichut program and Israel engagement programs here.
