FREEHOLD – The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County will present the film, Dough Sunday, January 22 , at 2 PM. At the Museum at the Mounts Corner Shopping Center, 310 Mounts Corner Drive.
Admission is $10. For viewing at home, interested persons can sign up for a Vimeo link to view at any time within a 72-hour window.
Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean, Game of Thrones) and Pauline Collins (Shirley Valentine) star in the comedy that shows you highlights on the theory you don’t have to be baked to make some Dough!
Curmudgeonly widower Nat Dayan , played by Pryce clings to his way of life as a Kosher bakery shop owner in London’s East End. Understaffed, Nat reluctantly enlists the help of teenager Ayyash (Jerome Holder), who has a secret side gig selling marijuana to help his immigrant mother make ends meet.
Because Ayyash accidentally drops his stash into the mixing dough, the challah starts flying off the shelves and an unlikely friendship forms between the old Jewish baker and his young Muslim apprentice. Undoubtedly, Dough is a warmhearted and humorous story about overcoming prejudice and finding redemption in unexpected places.
Additionally, seating is limited for the presentation at the museum. But the Vimeo program is at www.jhmomc.org, or by calling 732-252-6990.
Finally, funding has been made possible in part by a general operating support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a Division of the Department of State, through grant funds administered by the Monmouth County Historical Commission.
The Museum is on the second floor of the historic Levi Solomon Barn. The Museum is handicapped and assistive-listening accessible. Masks and vaccinations are required.
