Theatrical Screenings of For the Love of a Woman

• Through Thursday, August 6

In the 1970s, Esther, an American woman mourning her mother, receives a letter that sets her on a journey to uncover a hidden chapter of her family’s history.

With the help of Zayde, a university professor with secrets of his own, she begins searching for a woman who lived decades earlier in British Mandate Palestine. The woman is Yehudit, whose arrival in a settlers’ village in the 1930s entangled the lives of three men: a widowed father, an idealistic farmer and a cattle trader. By tying together the threads that bind past and present, Esther and Zayde discover a shocking truth.

Based on the novel The Loves of Judith by beloved author Meir Shalev, For the Love of a Woman returns to the CAT after its acclaimed screening during the 2026 Jewish Film Festival.

Join us on Sunday, August 2, following the 1:30pm screening for an inspiring conversation about family secrets, motherhood, grandmotherhood, strong women, hope, love, and more. Homemade treats will be served.

Ricky Archuleta of Film Threat proclaims, "With a moving story, beautiful direction and a cast and crew that execute with precision, this is a film not to be missed."
