Northern Virginia Jewish Film Festival Shabbat Expression - "Igor and the Cranes' Journey"

Our Shabbat Expression program connects Jewish families to the JCCNV. Join us on a journey of wonder and learning as we watch "Igor and the Cranes' Journey." This film, best suited of ages 10 and up, tells the story of young boy on his journey of Aliyah (migration to Israel). After the film stay for a short discussion and community Havdalah. For children 9 and under, you will find your own way to express yourself on shabbat through song and crafts. All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times! Please register in advance.

"Igor and the Cranes' Journey" is a charming fable about migration and the meaning of home. With exquisite cinematography and sensitive script, this is a perfect film for dreamers ages 10 and up.
