Join us for an inspiring Cinema Social featuring Shoelaces, Israel’s heartwarming and award-winning film starring beloved Israeli actors Dov Glickman (Shtisel), Evelin Hagoel (The Women’s Balcony) and Nevo Kimchi (Footnote). At the heart of Shoelaces is the complicated yet deeply loving relationship between an aging father and his special-needs son.

With humor, tenderness and plenty to think about, Shoelaces invites us to reflect on what it means to care for the people we love—and how far we might go for family. Stay after the movie for a lively conversation! We’ll explore the film’s themes of family, caregiving, connection, independence and the meaning of love across generations.
