JNF NSW: JIFF – Seven Blessings

Join us for an exclusive screening of the movie Seven Blessings

In this bittersweet dramedy, a boisterous Moroccan-Jewish clan reunites for a cross-cultural wedding that surfaces festering secrets.

In early ‘90s Jerusalem, a diverse family celebrates a Moroccan-Jewish bride and French-Ashkenazi groom’s union, infusing the occasion with joy, laughter, and a vibrant mix of languages. Yet, as the Seven Blessings ritual unfolds—a week of festive meals honoring the newlyweds—the facade cracks, exposing deep-seated wounds rooted in ancient tradition.

With a top Israeli cast, this authentic, enveloping tale delves into a complex web of relationships, culture, and forgiveness amid clashing interpretations of shared memories.
