The Women's Balcony
Comedy, Drama - Israel - 96 minutes
Directed by Emil Ben-Shimon - Hebrew with English subtitles
Sponsored by The Jewish Link of New Jersey
An accident during a bar mitzvah celebration leads to a gender rift in a devout Orthodox community in Jerusalem, in this rousing, good-hearted tale about women speaking truth to patriarchal power. When the womens balcony in an Orthodox synagogue collapses, leaving the rabbis wife in a coma and the rabbi in shock, the congregation falls into crisis. Charismatic young Rabbi David appears to be a savior after the accident, but slowly starts pushing his fundamentalist ways and tries to take control. This tests the womens friendships and creates an almost Lysistrata-type rift between the communitys women and men.
