Illuminated

L’chaim, serious men and funny girls! As this wet hot American summer ends and Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish New Year—begins, we are SO inviting you to our bat mitzvah (and bar mitzvah and b’nai mitzvah). This is how you and your Chosen ones win: make a list of the ten best movies that capture the Jewish experience. Stories can range from that of Meyerowitz to Yentl; Sammy Fabelman to Jessica Stein; rooftop fiddlers to wedding singers; disobedient lesbians to shiva babies. So cross Delancey, stroll down Hester Street and have what she’s having (apples dipped in honey) at Katz’s Delicatessen—it’s Armageddon time. Shanah Tovah!
