In honor of Jewish-American Heritage Month, Senator Jeff Klein will host the first ever Bronx Jewish Film Festival, featuring six films over three days in five locations across the Bronx. Popcorn and water will be provided and the films are free and open to the public.

World-famous actress, comedian and writer, Joan Rivers said: "I
am thrilled for the First Annual Jewish Film Festival in the Bronx. As a
New Yorker through and through, there is no better place to celebrate
Jewish films - both classic features and more contemporary hits - than
the Bronx. Thank you to Senator Klein for presenting this festival and
for giving New Yorkers an excuse to re-watch these films or see them for
the first time."
"As
a life-long New Yorker, I have always had a strong appreciation for
Jewish film and culture. I am thrilled that the first Bronx Jewish Film
Festival will take place later this month in Riverdale. Thank you to
Senator Jeff Klein for giving New Yorkers of all ages and background the
opportunity to see these wonderful films,” said acting and comic legend Jerry Stiller.
