Kazablan
KAZABLAN
Dir. Menahem Golan (95min, Israel, 1973) 
In Hebrew with English Subtitles 
Narrative

Celebrate the Israeli day of Love, Tu B’Av, with a glass of wine and a romantic comedy!  

This Israeli West Side Story unfolds when Kazablan, a dark Sephardic Jew, takes time out from hassling the poverty-stricken tenants of the Jaffa ghetto to court the fair-skinned Rachel, an Ashkenazi Jew.

As their cultures clash, Kazablan’s passion gives way to pride when Rachel’s father reveals his prejudice against the Sephardim. Enhanced by enthusiastic dancing and singing, this colorful, exuberant 1970's gem remains Israel’s best and most beloved musical.
