Hummus! The Movie: The Dish That Brings Us All Together

A tattooed Hasid, an Arab Christian from Ramle and the only female Muslim business owner in Acre’s Arab Market
walk into a hummusiya …

It sounds like the setup to a joke, but it’s actually the setup to Hummus! The Movie. The odds of the three main
characters — Eliyahu Shmueli, Jalil Dabit and Suheila al Hindi — going for lunch together, given their religious and
cultural diversity, seems unlikely.

But as we discover in award-winning documentary filmmaker Oren Rosenfeld’s Hummus! The Movie, unlikely
things are prone to happen in a hummusiya. Hummus, whose long history weaves across national and religious bor-
ders, has an incredible ability to bring people together. In Hummus! The Movie, Rosenfeld seeks to understand why.

“Hummus: It’s not normal, it’s magic,” says Eliyahu Shmueli, owner of a popular chain of hummus restaurants in
Israel. But the perfect hummus recipe doesn’t come easily.
Just ask a fourth character, a French Benedictine monk named Oliver who we follow on his international hunt for the crowning bowl of hummus. Such a
bowl requires immense dedication and love, according to Suheila al Hindi, recent winner of the Golden Pita Award for best hummus. “I’m married to hum-
mus!” she exclaims.
On Tuesday, April 24, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s NextGen, JerusalemU, the Israeli American Council, the Chevra and the Jewish National
Fund will team up to present a special screening of Hummus! The Movie. Join us to discover the history of hummus and what exactly makes this dish so extraor-
dinarily appealing.
For starters, Jalil Dabit says, “Hummus is not about hummus;” it’s about more than chickpeas and tahini. It’s about mixture, and how each character’s personal
relationship with the food blends together to create a diverse dish of history, compassion and, of course, appetite.
In the spirit of the film, we’ll gather afterward to mingle over hummus and light refreshments. Visit jewishphilly.org/hummusthemovie to purchase tickets.
