From Barry Levinson’s Diner, Tin Men, and Avalon, to Woody Allen’s Radio Days and Bullets Over Broadway, and on to beloved classics like My Favorite Year, The Chosen, Brighton Beach Memoirs, and even the animated gem An American Tail, this FilmShul production celebrates a rich collection of nostalgic Jewish films that lovingly revisit the “good old days.” These cinematic stories are deeply rooted in the timeless tradition of Jewish storytellers—Sholom Aleichem, Chaim Potok, Philip Roth, Michael Chabon, Cathleen Schine, and others—who weave memory, humor, and heart into their work. Extending beyond film, we’ll also explore sentimental television favorites known for their warmth and wit, such as Brooklyn Bridge, The Goldbergs, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
