Keeping the Faith – J on Demand Movie and Trivia Night

Wed 3 Sep. 1529 16th Street NW, Washington, 20036. 202-518-9400. Washington DC Jewish Community Center - [events]

Wednesday, September 3, 7:30 pm USA, 2000, 35mm 128 minutes, English Director: Edward Norton Norton’s hit directorial debut takes a lighthearted, but sincere approach to modern-day faith in this fantastically funny romantic comedy. Best friends since childhood, Rabbi Jake Schram (Ben Stiller) and Father Brian Finn (Ed Norton) are thrown for a romantic loop when a third childhood friend moves back to New York.

Both men are tempted by the stunning Anna (Jenna Elfman) though neither can truly pursue a romantic relationship with her -- Brian has taken a vow of celibacy and Jake can’t marry Anna because she’s not Jewish. As much as both men want to make energizing innovations as clergy, both still respect the traditions and customs of their faith when it comes to love and marriage. Surprisingly, Anna’s presence rejuvenates these men of faith in unexpected ways.


Come for the movie, stay for FREE beer and trivia!
