Last night at The Mazel Tov Moment we revealed the winners of the 2026 Unapologetically Jewish Social Media Contest — and the competition couldn’t have been stiffer!

Mazel Tov to our Social Impact Award Winners @JewItYourself and @KoshaDillz, and to our audience favorite @GoldiStayingGolden!

From more than 30 applications from around the country to eight trailblazing finalists to a summer of extraordinary content, to the final amazing night — the Jewish Joy was undefeated!

Stay tuned for more photos 📸 — and applications for Unapologetically Jewish 2027!👀 taken in National Museum of American Jewish History by @phillyjfm

For 46 years, PJFM has brought people into darkened theaters, where the light of the screen can make the familiar look different and the unfamiliar feel closer. What stays with us is not only what happened on screen, but the feeling of having experienced it together.

PJFM now begins a new chapter as a program of The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History. That new institutional home expands what is possible, but it does not replace the need for dedicated support of PJFM. Sponsors help bring important stories to the screen, connect creators with audiences, and make these experiences available to the community.

The future of Jewish storytelling depends not only on what we preserve, but on what we choose to support now.

You can review our sponsorship opportunities at phillyjfm.org or visit the direct link in our bio.

Thank you for investing in Jewish stories, the people who tell them, and the community that grows around them. by @phillyjfm

Next week we join our community partners for a deeply moving screening of FIND ME, OKAY?, honoring the anniversary of October 7th and the memory of Eden Yerushalmi.

The October 8th screening at The Weitzman will be followed by a Q&A with Director Yula Gidron and Nova Survivor Arbel Ashkenazy.

Through intimate access to Eden’s mother, sisters, and best friend Arbel, FIND ME, OKAY? offers a raw two-year portrait of love, grief, and resilience—capturing the fight to bring Eden home and the painful attempt to rebuild life in the aftermath of tragedy.

Tickets are $25 and available at phillyjfm.org
