Elik and Jimmy, a delightfully sharp and witty romantic comedy set in Tel Aviv, will be shown at the Merage JCC, on Wednesday, January 11, at 7 PM. Jimmy and Eli meet while serving in the Israeli army on their last day of service. Despite being opposites, there is a spark. They meet again over the years; randomly running into each other, messaging on social media, then occasionally hanging out, and eventually becoming friends in their 30s. Once friends, the two realize they still click. They wonder if they should give love a chance. To sign up, click on https://www.jccoc.org/index.php?src=events&srctype=detail&refno=49655&id=49655
