After the enthusiastic response following our Pickle Tasting event, we're thrilled to welcome back our friends at Shedletsky's Deli for another tasty gathering on Friday 12 July, as part of our season Women Aren't Funny.
Celebrating the hilarious confusion over arugula & rugelach in Shiva Baby, we'll be preceding the screening with a Rugelach & Schvitz hour. James & Nat from Shedletsky's will provide arugula-filled savoury rugelach, especially created for the occasion, to be enjoyed with their zingy pickleback hot sauce (optional, for those who can't handle the heat). They will also be setting up a pop-up shop in the bar area, where you can buy their delicious pickles, hot sauces, and possibly some fashionable pickle-based merch!
Tickets are restricted to 2 per member, so you can bring a non-member guest, and are available for just £16.50. Included in the price will be a serving of Arugula Rugelach, an Aperol/Select/Cynar or non-alcoholic Crodino Spritz, and the screening of Shiva Baby. Seating for the screening will be unallocated.
Emma Seligman’s Shiva Baby is a cult gem, where the central character, twentysomething Danielle, experiences a comical push and pull between her Jewish identity and her bisexuality. Shiva Baby is a caustically affectionate comedy about tightly knit families and communities, and the comfort and anguish they’re often responsible for.
Timings:
20:00 Rugelach & Schvitz hour + Shedletsky's Deli pop-up shopping
21:00 Screening of Shiva Baby
22:30 Expected finish

It is a pity you have chosen to hold this fun ,Jewish-themed event on a Friday night, when many Jewish people, including non-observant ones, have dinner with their families and wouldn’t go to the cinema.
Hi Dina,
Thanks for your comment! We are aware of the fact that many Jewish people spend Friday nights with family, and did have a lengthy discussion about this in the office, as well as with the team at Shedletsky’s, to see if we could do a different day. Sadly, due to our existing screening schedule and the availability of all involved p…[Read more]
