Please join us for an in-person film screening at Adas Israel of The Jewish Jail Lady and the Holy Thief. This one-hour documentary is the incredible love story of Harriet Rossetto, the founder of Beit T’Shuvah, and her husband Rabbi Mark Borovitz. Beit T’Shuvah is a one-of-a-kind recovery and treatment center in Los Angeles and known around the globe. The film won the Best Documentary Award at Santa Barbara Jewish Film Festival.

“The Jewish Jail Lady and the Holy Thief is a mind-blowing character study. It casts its lens on addiction therapy, religion and how personal interactions are culturally informed. It touches on boardroom dynamics…Oh, and by the way, it’s a love story…This might just be the unlikeliest Jewish couple you’ve ever seen in a movie.” (From the Nov 29,2022 The Forward)

After the film, we will zoom with Harriet and Rabbi Mark, moderated by Josh Fingerhut, for a Q and A session, followed by a reception.
