Bad Shabbos

Kyra Sedgwick and Cliff “Method Man” Smith lead a hilarious ensemble cast in the award-winning comedy BAD SHABBOS, winner of the Audience Award at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival!! When David and his fiance Meg gather for his family’s traditional Shabbat dinner on New York’s Upper West Side, things spiral faster than you can say “hamotzi” when an accidental death (or…murder?) derails the evening entirely. With Meg’s devoutly Catholic parents due any moment to meet David’s very Jewish family, soon Shabbat becomes a comedy of biblical proportions.

Depolarizing Ourselves Workshop with Braver Angels, Westchester Alliance

Civil discourse starts with mutual respect—not necessarily agreement. This workshop explores how we may unknowingly contribute to polarization, and how to shift toward healthier conversations. Led by a volunteer Braver Angels Facilitator, the session focuses on building awareness and skills for more respectful dialogue. In today’s climate, much of our political conflict isn’t about differing views on issues—it’s fueled by emotionally charged, polarizing exchanges. Braver Angels is a nonpartisan, non-religious organization that creates tools to help bridge the political divide. Café opens at 6pm; program begins at 7pm.
