A still from the movie: Kiss me Kosher - a german woman and jewish woman kissing in the middle of the street in Isreal

Kiss Me Kosher (Israel and Germany, 2021, 101 minutes)

English, German, Hebrew, and Arabic with English subtitles • Director: Shirel Peleg

Moran Rosenblatt (Wedding Doll, Fauda) stars in this delightful Israeli comedy that mines interfaith and cross-cultural relationships. Before she can marry Maria, her non-Jewish, German girlfriend, Shira must first convince her family that Maria’s family were “good Germans” during the war. When Maria’s parents arrive in Israel, the two families must overcome their vast

cultural and religious differences, all of which are captured on video to full comic effect by Shira’s younger brother who documents their interactions for a school project.

WINNER: Best German Film on a Jewish Theme, Berlin Jewish Film Festival, 2021
