Back this year is the annual Christmas Eve movie and dinner. Due to Covid-19, however, we are changing to a virtual format on Zoom. We hope you and your family will join with our Temple family for two beloved movie choices. It promises to be an evening of fun and togetherness.

The first movie, appropriate for the whole family will begin at 4:30 pm. Everyone is invited for dinner together on Zoom at 6 pm. Sorry – you will need to provide your own Chinese food! Following dinner, the next movie, appropriate for adults, will start at 7 pm. Watch the Temple’s weekly emails to sign up.

Our movie choices are:

“An American Tail” (Directed by Don Bluth) 4:30 pm

A young mouse named Fievel Mousekewitz (Phillip Glasser) and his family emigrate from Russia to the United States by boat after their home is destroyed by cats. During the trip, a fierce storm throws Fievel from the ship, and he loses contact with his family. Luckily, he manages to sail to New York in a bottle. There, Irish mouse Bridget (Cathianne Blore), an Italian mouse named Tony (Pat Musick) and a kindly cat named Tiger (Dom DeLuise) help Fievel search for his loved ones.

“When Harry Met Sally” (Directed by Rob Reiner) 7 pm

Harry and Sally meet when she gives him a ride to New York after they both graduate from the University of Chicago. The film jumps through their lives as they both search for love but fail, bumping into each other time and time again. Finally, a close friendship blooms between them, and they both like having a friend of the opposite sex. But then they are confronted with the problem: “Can a man and a woman be friends, without sex getting in the way?”
