Beginning August 23, The Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater presents Between the Temples, an engrossing comedy drama that is a testament not just to the Jewish tradition but the faith we can learn to have in each other.

Ben (Jason Schwartzman) is a forty-something cantor losing his voice and possibly his faith. Struggling to meet the expectations of his rabbi, congregation, and not one but two Jewish mothers (Caroline Aaron and Dolly De Leon), Ben finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher (Carol Kane) re-enters his life as an adult bat mitzvah student. This warm and anxious comedy from prolific writer/director Nathan Silver explores the complexities of belief, connection, and what it means to be a real mensch. [2024, US, 100 min, Rated: NR]

Joanna Langfield from The Movie Minute exclaims, ” There’s something very winning about this comedy of faith. And that something is the chemistry between its two terrific stars, Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane.”
