6 SCREENING RECORD
Kol Chai’s latest film attracted a record crowd as 58 people attended the screening of Dancing in Jaffa, raising £200 for World Jewish Relief. Films@434 meets six times a year to view movies of Jewish interest from around the world. Breaking with tradition by hosting a Dine In Help Out bagel sale before the screening, organiser Milly Lewy said: “We had a lot of fun. It was a great way to raise funds for World Jewish Relief and spread the word about their wonderful work with some of the poorest Jewish communities.”
