Get tix now - JUNE 26 - JULY 1, 2025! Join us for the 20th Annual Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival with a selection of films the whole family will enjoy!

<h3>LAJFF, in cooperation with the Museum of Tolerance's Closing Night, will honor Mike Burstyn for his lifetime accomplishments as a performer (and for his birthday on July 1). He stars as the lead in this award-winning series.</h3><h3> </h3><h3>We will host the first two episodes, followed by a Q&amp;A with Mike Burstyn, moderated by David Suissa, President of the Jewish Journal!</h3> Synopsis: "The Zweiflers," a multilayered and often hilarious examination of modern Jewish identity, was the winner of the Best Series award at the Cannes International Series Festival! This compelling series is a comic-dramatic, multigenerational saga following the travails of an extended Jewish family sorting out the future of its vast delicatessen empire in contemporary Germany. Symcha (Mike Burstyn), the patriarch of the Zweifler clan and a Holocaust survivor, is looking to sell off his deli business. Yet potentially damaging secrets from the past throw his future—and that of his children and grandchildren—into question and the Zweiflers’s present into disarray. The novelistic, expansive narrative of The Zweiflers, set in Frankfurt and Berlin, encompasses themes of tradition, succession, the multiculturalism of the Jewish diaspora, estrangement, prejudice, and familial trauma all while maintaining a vivid, humorous tone.
