TIMELY TOPICS & TASTY TREATS IN TWO PARTS

Part 1 – Wednesday May 1 at 2:00 pm at Temple Emeth in Teaneck.

Come and enjoy a free screening of the wonderful movie, “A Borrowed Identity.” Set in Israel, this fictional story features a Palestinian Israeli boy given the chance to go to a prestigious boarding school in Jerusalem. Will he have to sacrifice his own identity in order to be accepted? This film has been called “a poignant, humorous coming-of-age tale” by the Washington Post.  It was recommended by film critic Dr. Eric Goldman, who will be the speaker about this film at the Timely Topics & Tasty Treats on Tuesday, May 7.  There is no charge to attend this wonderful film. For further information, contact Marilynn Friedmann at 201-568-0145 or marisfried@aol.com.
