If you’re looking for great Jewish and Hebrew-language films to see this Passover week, there are many great choices streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime, but they’re not the only options.
The Laemmle theater chain is closed for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis, but it has partnered with Menemsha Films to digitally present several titles for Pesach via its digital site, Laemmle Virtual Cinema. The documentary “Streits: Matzo and the American Dream;” “Nora’s Will,” set in Mexico during a Passover seder; the Romanian drama “Live and Become;” and “Nicky’s Family,” about the British humanitarian who saved 600 children from the Nazis will each be available for rental for $1.99
The Israel Film Center offers titles like Nir Bergman’s “Saving Neta,” Eran Riklis’ septuple Ophir Award nominee “The Syrian Bride” and “A Quiet Heart” starring Ania Bukstein (”False Flag”), each for $5.99 or less.
