Aptekar Film Fund
The Aptekar Family Endowment Fund for Film
Aptekar Family Endowment Fund for Film creators Judy and Bob Aptekar were inspired to endow the film program after seeing how much they and other participants valued the Shabbat afternoon film series. “Movies have a way of bringing people together for a shared interest and entertainment, but can also generate meaningful conversations. And whether it’s Jewish films or just films that bring Jews together, it’s good for our community!”
Consider a gift to Beth Am's Aptekar Family Endowment Fund for Film in celebration and gratitude for your family simcha or to honor a loved one.
