Temple Shaaray Tefila is at 89 Baldwin Road in Bedford Corners.
The film depicts 100 years, four generations and 1,800,000 pounds of pickled herring from Russ & Daughters.
The program, which starts at noon, features the movie, "The Sturgeon Queens," a traditional Jewish bagel brunch and discussion with the movie’s director, Julie Cohen. “100-year-old Hattie Russ Gold (deceased April, 2014) and her sister 92-year-old Anne Russ Federman have life stories that hit all the key notes of the Jewish immigrant experience: hard work, humor, romance, and a little tsuris. Hattie and Anne are the two surviving daughters from the famed lox and herring emporium Russ & Daughters on the Lower East Side when they appeared as the stars of The Sturgeon Queens.”
Tickets for the screening are being sold for $10. RSVP to Beverly at bto@templest.org or 914-666-3133.
