The Virtual Post-Screening Discussion of the “Deli Man” has been postponed. A new date will be announced soon!
Watch the documentary Deli Man on your own and then join the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) on Thursday, December 17, 2020 for a virtual post-screening discussion on Zoom with two of the stars of the film, Ziggy Gruber, of Kenny and Ziggy’s Deli, and Ronnie Dragoon of Ben’s Kosher Deli. Registration is $36 for the post-screening discussion of Deli Man. All proceeds go towards HMTC’s Holocaust and Tolerance Education programs for students and adults.
HMTC is also partnering with Ben’s to offer special meal boxes and Hanukkah dinners to attendees that can be picked up or delivered from your local Ben’s to enjoy the night of the program. You can also order items off of Ben’s ala carte menu as well. A portion of the proceeds from food orders from Ben’s will benefit HMTC. To place your order contact David Czegledi at Ben’s at dczegledi@bensdeli.net. Mention that you are ordering for HMTC’s 12/17 event.
Deli Man is a documentary film produced and directed by Erik Greenberg Anjou; the third work in his trilogy about Jewish culture. The celebrated preceding films are “A Cantor’s Tale” and “The Klezmatics - On Holy Ground,” which have to date screened at more than two hundred international film festivals and have been broadcast in the U.S., Israel, Canada and Poland. The principal guide of Deli Man is the effusive and charming Ziggy Gruber, a third-generation delicatessen man, owner and maven (as well as a Yiddish-speaking French trained chef) who currently operates one of the country’s top delis, Kenny and Ziggy’s in Houston. Kenny and Ziggy’s has been touted in press reviews ranging from “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” to the L.A. Daily News.
HMTC needs your help now more than ever. Your donation will support HMTC’s virtual programming for students and adults. Help us continue to be able to provide Holocaust and Tolerance Education programs to schools and public programs for the community.
