Jewish Culture on Film — Downtown BostonBackRoom Boston
at The Boston Synagogue Presents: Bad Shabbos

Join us for a fabulous, fun evening of Jewish culture, laughter, and community at our Movie Night at BackRoom Boston, featuring a huge screen and immersive surround sound in a unique downtown setting.

We’re screening Bad Shabbos, a sharp, contemporary comedy that dives into modern Jewish life, family dynamics, and the chaos that can unfold when tradition, identity, and unexpected events collide. Smart, funny, and very relatable, the film captures the humor and heart of Shabbat gone wildly off-script.

Come for the movie, stay for the vibe — It’s a night out with friends, conversation, and culture in an intimate, welcoming space.

✨ What to Expect

• Feature film screening on a large screen with surround sound
• A lively, Jewish social atmosphere in the heart of downtown Boston
