Lenore Marwil Detroit Jewish Film Festival

The Lenore Marwil Detroit Jewish Film Festival celebrates the art of Jewish filmmaking by presenting films, encouraging discussion about Jewish stories, and creating shared experiences with filmmakers and audiences around the world. And through our history of promoting Israeli cinema as part of our diverse selection of Jewish films, we’re continuing to build a sense of community and inclusion for a broad range of audience members.

Schedule Of Events:

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Colleyville
On January 15, 2022, an ordinary Shabbat morning at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, turned into a harrowing hostage crisis involving Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and three others. Colleyville is a gripping real-life drama showcasing the resilience of the hostages and community while highlighting the complexities of antisemitism.

Talk-back with Ophir award-winning filmmaker Dani Menkin and Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker following the screening, moderated by Rabbi Paul Yedwab, Temple Israel.
