JxJ Passport
Cross Borders. Cross Perspectives.
The JxJ Passport Series brings the world to your doorstep, celebrating cultural highlights and the best of Jewish art – one country at a time. Through film and storytelling, audiences form emotional connections that open a window into new places, histories, and traditions. These stories don’t just stay on screen; they deepen curiosity, foster understanding, and invite you to experience the richness of global culture, without ever leaving your seats.
October 2026: China
From the migration of Jews to Shanghai in WWII, to the resonant shared experiences of Chinese and Jewish migrants, to the long-standing love affair between Jewish diners and Chinese restaurants, join JxJ and explore our many cultural connections through film, music, and cuisine. With romance, comedy, history, melodrama, and more, we traced the interplay of two ancient civilizations.
The Dating Menu Screening on October 1 will feature a pre-screening reception with food generously provided by Chinese Street Market
