ABOUT THIS EVENT
Jewish Downtown Boston Movie Series features our first film of the Summer: Everything Is Illuminated
Kick off the Summer season with our first film screening, *Everything Is Illuminated*.
Movie Night is hosted by Young Professionals Benjamin & Sarah in partnership with BackRoom Boston, with The Boston Synagogue as our venue.
Enjoy the film on a huge screen with immersive surround sound for a true theater-like experience. Plus, our unique downtown location is easy to reach by MBTA, and we offer both free parking and validated parking at the Cambridge Street Garage. And since the weather is finally on our side, come early to relax on the patio. Grab snacks and beverages, meet new people, and start some great conversations before the movie begins.
