Explore Jewish history, culture, and identity with The William and Irene Weinberg Family Baltimore Jewish Film Festival’s curated collection of intriguing films, engaging discussions, and live musical performances.
For over 30 years, the William and Irene Weinberg Family Baltimore Jewish Film Festival has presented outstanding films of Jewish interest, as well as film education opportunities.
