Congregation Beth Shalom offers a monthly film series (CBS Film Series.) We show fabulous independent films one Sunday per month at 2:00 p.m. $5 per ticket includes the cost of the movie,popcorn, and candy. It's the best deal in town and it's open to anyone in the community. At times, we bring in filmmakers for Q&A discussions. The CBS Film Series programs films that address issues of social awareness and global relevance to engage and target not only the Jewish community but to reach out to multi-ethnic audiences. We’re about building a better world via entertainment, culture, innovation and education.

Sun, Oct 5 · 2:00 PM PDT
CBS Film Series presents "Thirteen" & "Gary's Letter" with Director Q&A
CBS Social Hall, 21430 Centre Pointe Parkway, Santa Clarita, CA, US
**Q&A with "Thirteen" director Allison Norlian**

Thirteen - A devoted mother is determined to honor her child, who is profoundly disabled, with a Bat Mitzvah, a rite of passage she believes her daughter deserves. However, aspirations clash with tradition as her rabbi opposes the ceremony citing longstanding practices. Secrets emerge from the rabbi's past, forcing him into a crossroads to preserve tradition or embrace change.

Gary's Letter - Gary Sternberg was a blackjack dealer at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Driven by curiosity or perhaps a sense of unfinished history, he enters the address of his birthplace into a search engine. To his surprise, he discovers that his parents’ names are etched into memorial stones placed in front of his childhood home in Cuxhaven, Germany. Moved by this unexpected find, he reaches out to the current residents of the house making a new connection to the country he had long left behind.

Both films are based on true events with outcomes leaving a lasting impact.
