Shabbat dinner is sacred… but sometimes, sacred gets messy.Join us for An Evening with Bad Shabbos: Screening and Conversation with Writer/Director Daniel Robbins, a hilariously chaotic comedy that proves no one’s Shabbos is ever perfect.

209 Hamilton Row,
Birmingham, MI 48009
After the screening, Daniel Robbins will join us for a lively talkback. Hear about the stories behind the jokes, how Jewish humor shapes the film, and which scenes hit a little too close to home for anyone who’s ever hosted a Shabbos meal. Audience questions encouraged!
About the movie:
Bad Shabbos dives into the beautiful chaos of a Jewish family gathering gone spectacularly off script. It’s a love letter to tradition, a wink to Jewish neuroses, and a reminder that even on the most meticulously planned Shabbat, life—and family—don’t always follow the rules.
Laugh, kvetch, and relish every relatable moment. If your family has ever debated the correct way to make brisket or argued over the best kugel, this film is basically your life—only funnier.
