Monday, May 9th at 5:30 PM—Dough Not Rated (contains drug use, some violence) Widower Nat Dayan (Jonathan Pryce) obstinately clings to his way of life and his livelihood as a Kosher baker in London’s East End. With a dwin- dling clientele and the pressures of encroaching big box stores, Nat reluc- tantly enlists the help of teenager Ayyash who has a secret side gig selling marijuana to help his struggling immigrant mother make ends meet. When Ayyash accidentally drops his stash into the mixing dough, the challah starts flying off the shelves and an unlikely friendship forms between the old Jewish baker and his young Muslim apprentice.

The Kurt & Tessye Simon Fund for Holocaust Remembrance at Temple Beth-El is sponsoring the screenings of Son of Saul on Monday, May 9 at 8:00 PM and Phoenix on Wednesday, May 11 at 5:30 PM as part of the 6th Annual Michiana Jewish Film Festival. We invite you to join us for these two amazing films.

As part of that mission, we invite you to join us in early November as we welcome a speaker at Temple Beth-El as part of the Annual Kristallnacht Memorial program sponsored by the Kurt & Tessye Simon Fund for Holo- caust Remembrance. Date and time for that program will be announced to the community as they become available.
