The Women’s Balcony – JCC Israeli Film Festival
Rialto Cinemas
Tuesday, March 7th, 2017

The opening film of the festival – this is a rousing, good-hearted tale about women speaking truth to patriarchal power and rejecting extremism. When during a bar mitzvah celebration, the women’s balcony in an Orthodox synagogue in Jerusalem collapses, the congregation falls into crisis. Charismatic, young Rabbi Dovid appears to be the congregation’s savior after the accident, but slowly he starts to take control, pushing his fundamentalist ways. This leads to a gender rift in the community and tests the women’s friendships.
