What Jewish Looks Like: Come for the Films, Stay for the Conversation

Saturday, December 5, 2026 | 5:15 PM

True West Film Center | 371 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg

Join Jewish Healdsburg, The Joy Fund, Reboot, and True West Film Center for the kickoff celebration of What Jewish Looks Like, a new film and cultural series exploring Jewish life, identity, and the stories that connect us.

Our opening evening features a special screening of Our Bodies & Other Shames, a funny, moving, and deeply honest film about friendship, family expectations, and belonging.

When three estranged childhood friends reunite in Brooklyn after receiving life-changing news, they find themselves confronting old memories, unspoken truths, and the complicated bonds that connect them. Set within a close-knit Jewish community, the film explores what happens when the lives we're expected to lead collide with the lives we actually live.

More Than a Movie

Following the screening, join us for a special conversation and Q&A with director Jenny Lester and writer/producer Malka Wallick.

The evening includes a complimentary glass of sparkling wine courtesy of Longboard Vineyards upon arrival and a post-screening reception at The Harris Gallery, where guests can continue the conversation and connect with friends, neighbors, and fellow film lovers.
