๐ŸŒธ Happy Motherโ€™s Day from TCJFF! ๐ŸŒธ

Today we celebrate the women who nurture, create, and inspireโ€”on screen and off. From fierce matriarchs to loving caretakers, Jewish cinema has long honored the complexities of motherhood in all its forms.

Hereโ€™s to the moms, bubbes, and chosen family who show up with strength, tenderness, and a good bag of snacks. ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿ’–
