Jewish Heritage Museum Presents a Virtual Summer Film Festival
The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County presents a Virtual Summer Film Festival with the two following films:
- Here We Are (August 11-13th): Aharon has
devoted his life to raising his son Uri. They live together in a gentle
routine, away from the real world. But Uri is autistic, and now as a young
adult it might be time for him to live in a specialized home. While on their
way to the institution, Aharon decides to run away with his son and hits the
road, knowing that Uri is not ready for this separation. Or is it, in fact, his
father who is not ready?
- Thou Shalt Not Hate (August 25-27th): A split-second decision at a traffic accident triggers repercussions for a Jewish surgeon and a neo-Nazi’s daughter, a gripping new drama. Simone, a Holocaust survivor’s son, rushes to the scene of a hit-and-run. But when he sees a swastika tattoo on the victim’s chest, he leaves the gravely wounded man to his fate. Wracked with guilt, the anguished doctor confronts the ethics of his choice, and bonds with the victim’s daughter, embroiling himself in greater conflict.
ADMISSION: $10 per film or $18 for both films. You may watch the film at
any time during the screening dates.

State, through grant funds administered by the Monmouth County Historical
Commission.
