Simchas and Sorrows is an independent romantic comedy about a
secular, free-spirited artist and former Catholic schoolgirl, Agnes, who must
come to terms with religion in order to marry the love of her life – Levi.
Shocked by a surprise pregnancy, the earnest Agnes decides to begin
converting to Judaism, in order to be accepted by Levi’s more conservative
Jewish family. The film explores an evolving, modern Judaism, orthodoxies
and hypocrisy, sibling rivalry, modern love, mental illness, artistic
inheritance, and anti-semitism. In other words, something for everyone.
Location: Liz Freeman’s house, 8 Dexter Lane, Wakefield

Volunteer at Wakefield Community Dinners
2024-02-14 15:30 - 18:30
Mitzvah opportunity! Temple Emmanuel is now partnered with Wakefield Community Dinners. Held at Most Blessed Sacrament in Wakefield, the Community Dinners happen the 2nd Wednesday of every month, with the opportunity to feed 80+ neighbors and friends from Wakefield, Stoneham, Melrose and towns as far as Medford, Salem and Norwood. Volunteer hours are 3:30-6:30pm. Guests come as families or alone. Although many are experiencing food insecurity, most are impacted with social isolation. We provide a hot meal, salad, bread, desserts, and most importantly, camaraderie. If you’d like to have fun, share smiles, and engage in holy work with Rabbi Greg, please sign up here.
