Yaniv
SPECIAL EVENT WITH YANIV POP UP CLUB
A high school teacher in the Bronx loses funding for the school musical and convinces his fellow statistics teacher—secretly a recovering gambling addict—to help him cheat at an underground card game run by the Hasidic Jewish community. The plan goes awry with mounting consequences, but help comes at an unexpected time from the least likely people.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: This event comes with a twist. We’ll not only show this screwball comedy and have the lead actor/co-screenwriter with us, but we’ll have our very own Yaniv Popup Club following the film for you to try this fun game yourself. This has been a big hit on the international Jewish Film Festival circuit. Lead actor and co-screenwriter Ben Ducoff will be at the festival to do a Q&A with us and coorindate the Yaniv Popup Club and Johnny Pickles Distillery will have spirits tastings to make the event even better!

This may end up being our most unique event ever!
It starts with the fun comedy film Yaniv which is based around a card game of the same name. Following the film we’ll have a brief Q&A with the lead actor and co-screenwriter, Ben Ducoff. After that we’ll move into the Kaufman Family Living Room to have our own Yaniv Pop Up Club where Ben will teach us to play this simple game.
While our Yaniv tournament is going on, our friends from Johnny Pickles Distillery will be conducting a spirits tasting with some of their excellent products. We’ll also have a free bar and some simple table snacks to nosh on.
Bring your friends for a fun event unlike any we’ve done before!
