Temple to present ‘The Cantor’s Son’ Temple Emanuel of North Jersey will host a screening of “The Cantor’s Son” on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. This 90minute 1940 film was the first movie starring famed cantor and entertainer Moishe Oysher. Oysher’s film recalls Al Jolson’s “The Jazz Singer.” A young man with singing talent is “discovered” while washing floors in a New York nightclub and becomes a star. Unlike the Jolson film, this story ends with a different twist. The film is in Yiddish with English subtitles. The program is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served. Temple Emanuel is located at 558 High Mountain Road in Franklin Lakes. For more information, visit www.tenjfl. org or call (201) 560-0200.
