Bar Mitzvah
A Musical Melodrama with Shock, Tears and Laughter!

This early Yiddish film gem stars Boris Thomashefsky.

It’s the only film Thomashefsky, popular Yiddish Theater star, has appeared in. The film is a masterwork of the “shund," the bread and butter style of the Yiddish Theater.  Critics have said...."aside from it’s unequivocal documentary and historical value, it’s a great piece of kitsch...”

 The main character Israel believes his wife has died at sea and remarries a scheming gold digger.  His wife returns, after bring gone for years, on the eve of their son’s Bar Mitzvah....emotions run high!     

Film made in America, Black & White, Yiddish with English Subtitles,

1 hour, 15 min.
Restored by NCJF National Center for Jewish Film
