Welcome to the
Naiditch Family Foundation
2018 Jewish Film Festival
of Sarasota-Manatee!
As we celebrate Israel's 70th birthday, we are extremely excited to present a premiere line-up of twelve films themed around the creation of the State of Israel and modern life in Israel today.
These twelve films provide a fascinating, multi-dimensional window into Jewish and Israeli history, and Jewish values. They expose us to a variety of historical, personal, and emotional experience--both real and fictional--that can spark our thinking, expand our perspectives, and strengthen our connection to the larger world of the Jewish people.
