Ever since I’ve become a parent, there were certain parenting milestones I dreamed of reaching — one of them was going to the theater to watch a movie with my child. And while my son is finally old enough for us to entertain that idea, and theaters have reopened here in New York, it looks like that mother-son theater date will not be happening any time soon. OCT 2012 With omicron infecting literally everyone I know, and with my child being too young to get vaccinated, we’re going to stick to in-home family movie nights for now. We SG/JDF/1/6V pull down the screen and projector set-up we got last year (it’s been YOURinvestment), such PLEASE a good CHECK pandemic CAREFULLY FOR(the movieget a AD tray of snacks SPELLING sized candy& GRAMMAR, packs areASso much WELL AS ACCURACY ADcheaper outside theOFtheater!) and DRESSES, PHONEtogether NUMBERS watch a movie as &a family OTHER (OK, so VITAL I halfINFORMATION. watch it, half look at my phone, but hey,run it’s better than Your ad will nothing).

“The Prince of Egypt” One cannot have a Jewish movie night list without “The Prince of Egypt.” This animated retelling of the story of Moses and the exodus from Egypt holds up so well. The music is still just as wonderful and it is the most Jewish of stories. Plus, this movie features the voice of the queen of Mizrahi music, Ofra Haza (her memory and her music is a blessing). What a film. Watch if: you want an epic biblical viewing experience for the whole family! Perfect snack: A haroset bar! Watch it on Peacock or rent from other streaming services. “Fiddler on the Roof” Traditiooooon! Tradition!… is watching this movie with your family and seeing how far you’ll make it before someone falls asleep. “Fiddler” is three hours long, which may be a rough watch for some of your younger family members. You can always just watch the highlights (my son loves fast-forwarding to musical numbers!), or split it into two movie nights. I recommend scheduling an intermission and eating some Fiddler-themed snacks! Watch if: you’re Jewish. Duh. Perfect snack: your favorite Ashkenazi poor man’s fair, from borscht to kugel to gefilte fish. Watch it on Amazon Prime with a premium subscription on rent from other streaming services.

“Wreck-It Ralph” and “Ralph Breaks the Internet” According to Sarah Silverman and the creators of the Disney franchise about the arcade game villain looking for a rebrand, Princess Vanellope from “Wreck-It Ralph” is Jewish, which means she’s officially the first Jewish Disney princess. And while Vannelope doesn’t really identify as Jewish in the movies themselves, and her last name is von Schweetz, you can — and maybe should? — keep pointing out her Jewishness to your kids, even if it’s just to irritate them. If you watch the sequel “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” you should also point out that “Wonder Woman” Gal Gadot voices racer Shank in the movie. Watch if: you enjoy feeling that gamer nostalgia and love a colorful 3D film. Perfect snacks: all the candy! Watch it on Disney+.

“Kronk’s New Groove” and “The Emperor’s New Groove” Kronk from “The Emperor’s New Groove,” the 2000 movie about an emperor who gets turned into a llama, is Jewish! Possibly! Yeah, that’s right, the buff but adorable henchmen released Kronk’s challah recipe last year. Also, this Disney franchise is kind of delightful? Watch if: you’re a lover of quirky Disney films. Perfect snack: Kronk’s challah?! Watch it on Disney+.

During the fight for justice for Victor White III whom police claim shot himself in the chest while handcuffed in the back of a police car, I was there fighting side by side with his father. When Walmart workers marched and fought for a living wage from a multi-billion dollar corporate employer that saw them as tools, not people, I fought with them. And as special interests seek to under-fund and demoralize our public schools, I have been here fighting while also getting children the resources they need in struggling schools.
