35th Annual Jewish Book & Arts Fair

Dozens of writers, filmmakers, artists and musicians are converging at the 35th Annual Jewish Book & Arts Fair. Among the festival’s highlights is a concert by the Crossroads Ensemble, a group founded by Juancho Herrera of Caracas and Mattan Klein of Jerusalem. The two fuse Latin, Jewish, Brazilian, jazz, funk and even Latino elements in their music. Several films will be screened during the festival, including Dina Zvi-Riklis’s Three Mothers, the story of triplets Rose, Yasmine and Flora. One is sexy, wild and selfish; one is pretty and devoted to her family; and one is plain, smart and practical. When a decades-old family secret is revealed, each sister must confront the resentment and confusion they feel.
