Houston Jewish Film Festival: Opening Night: Seven Blessings

Seven Blessings

Drama | Directed by Ayelet Menahemi | 2023 | Israel | Hebrew, French, Moroccan with English subtitles | 111 minutes | Kaplan Theatre  

Winner of 10 Ophir Awards (Israeli Oscars), including Best Picture, Ayelet Menahemi’s captivating drama about culture and forgiveness brings us inside an extended family celebrating the union of a Moroccan-Jewish bride and French-Ashkenazi groom with the traditional Sheva Brachot (Seven Blessings). As the week of festivities unfolds—behind the boisterous, multi-lingual conversations and elaborate, home-cooked meals—lies a painful family secret inspired by true events.

Underwritten by The Margolis Family
Sponsored by June and Leonard Goldberg
