NJFF: It Takes a Village

They say it takes a village to raise a child, if that is correct it takes a big city to create a Jewish Film Festival.  We are grateful to have dedicated volunteers who spend hours previewing movies and submitting written evaluations of the films so that we can present the best in film that explore contemporary Jewish life. 

Screener Chair Roberta Bergman has been spending long hours collating film evaluations and preparing spread sheets so that the co-directors Laurie Eskind and Loretta Saff, along with festival director Fran Brumlik can select the 2025 season.  We are grateful to Roberta and her dedicated volunteers for making our work easier. 

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers!
