"Just an Illusion arrives in #cinemas this week having made big money at the box office in #France. It is a warm and nostalgic crowd-pleaser centred on a #Jewish family living in the suburbs of #Paris in 1985. The primary focus is Vincent, the younger of two brothers, in the leadup to his #barmitzvah day. One is struck, when watching the #film, by what Stephen King refers to as “the ecstasy of perfect recognition”. And, as with King’s Stand by Me, this is a work that seems to perfectly capture what it feels like to be 12 years old.

Unsurprisingly, this #autobiographical film is inspired by the adolescence of #filmmakers #EricToledano and #OlivierNakache and one can feel the emotional truth in every scene. It is a film about love, music and #assimilation and is absolutely not to be missed – by #Jews and gentiles alike."

"What does it mean to be a #barmitzvah? How does one keep up the momentum long after reaching the age of 13? What are a girl’s obligations when she becomes a #batmitzvah? These questions and more are thoroughly explored and answered in the newest #book by #Rabbi #YehoshuaAlt. Phenomenal Insights about Bar Mitzvah and #Tefillin gathers insights from throughout the Torah to present more than 50 engaging #essays on the significance of bar mitzvah and tefillin. #Written in a clear and accessible style, this book is suitable for #Jews of all ages, and would especially make a wonderful bar mitzvah present."
