Greenville Jewish Film Festival

Welcome to SummerFest 2025, a three-part celebration of Yiddish culture through music, film, and storytelling.
From a soulful night of live music and Jewish desserts to an acclaimed international film premiere and a thought-provoking streaming experience, this year’s festival invites you to reconnect with tradition in fresh and unexpected ways.

Schedule:

Live Music and Short Film

Join us for an unforgettable reception with mocktails and cultural desserts at the Sigal Music Museum, featuring the dynamic klezmer/bluegrass fusion music by Zoe & Cloyd. The music will be followed by a screening of the short documentary "Days Between Rest", in which Grammy-nominated Ugandan singer Rachel Namadosi reflects on growing up Jewish in Uganda, overcoming antisemitism, and the power of music as she goes about her busy day and looks forward to her day of rest, Shabbat.
