A Cinematic Journey at the Bender JCC

The Bender JCC presents thought-provoking movie screenings and groundbreaking filmmakers, including international talent and local creators. From fiction to documentaries, we celebrate cinema’s capacity to connect and entertain, while sparking conversation, change, and impact. Our diverse lineup features award-winning films from international filmmakers across the globe, including Israel and the U.S. Laugh out loud, reconnect with Israel, and reflect on Jewish life and the human experience with the Bender JCC’s Cinema J

Celebrating Jewish Culture Through Film

Join us for Cinema J—year-round film screenings that bring Jewish heritage to the big screen. Every other month, we present thought-provoking films, often followed by lively post-screening discussions. Each film explores a different theme—drama, comedy, history, and more—always with a Jewish connection.
