Yaniv - Film
Comedy, 85 Minutes
Orange County Premiere
A high school teacher in the Bronx loses funding for the school musical and convinces his fellow teacher-secretly a recovering gambling addict—to help him cheat at an underground card game called Yaniv run by the Hasidic Jewish community. The plan goes awry with mounting consequences, but help comes at an unexpected time from the least likely people.
YANIV is a madcap and absurd comedy that unpacks Jewish identity, male friendship, and public education, all in one lighthearted package.
Please join us after the screening for a Yaniv Cardgame Social, Q&A with director and actors, and a delicious deli spread catered by Blueberry Hill Caterers.
RSVP to Nicole Rosenson at nicoler@jccoc.org to participate in the Card Game Social.
