About The Jeighborhood
The Jeighborhood is your Jewish neighborhood - a landscape of programs, informal interest groups, courses, camps, and celebrations that bring the JCC to you. The Jeighborhood borrows from the incredible programs offered at the J - from CJC lectures to Jewish holiday celebrations to summer camp - and offers entry points that are closer to home. Our mission is to connect the entire San Diego community to Jewish heritage, identity, experiences and values - and not only those who live close by. The Jeighborhood aims to meet people where they are, both figuratively and literally.

NORTH COUNTY FILM SCREENING: Once Upon My Mother

Carlsbad City Library
Ruby G. Schulman Auditorium
1775 Dove Ln, Carlsbad, CA 92011
Director Ken Scott (Starbuck) delivers a big-hearted, colorful, and witty film based on a true story, celebrating the unparalleled love between a mother and her child. Leila Bekhti (Paris, je t’aime) shines as Esther, a larger-than-life Moroccan-Jewish mother who refuses to take no for an answer. When her youngest son, Roland, is born with a club foot in 1963 and told he will never walk, Esther dedicates the next forty years to ensuring he not only walks but thrives. Featuring a vibrant soundtrack of French classics by Sylvie Vartan, this touching and humorous tribute captures a mother’s fierce devotion in all its endearing—and infuriating—glory.
Winner of the Best Narrative Feature Audience Choice Award at the 36th Annual San Diego International Jewish Film Festival, this special North County screening of Once Upon My Mother brings this award-winning film to the Jeighborhood!
Price: $20 | JCC Members: $17
