The Rabbi's Cat

2011: In French with subtitles
1 hour and 30 minutes

Set in exotic Algiers in the 1920s, Rabbi Sfar has problems. His beautiful daughter Zlabya is becoming a teenager and, above all, the family cat has miraculously acquired human speech (by eating the family parrot). The cat also decided that he wants to convert and have a Bar Mitzvah (his arguments are educated, sardonic, and hilarious).

The delivery of a large crate from Russia further complicates things when a painter is discovered inside, more dead than alive. This painter is on a quest for a hidden tribe in a mythical city in Africa. Convinced that the city exists, he sets off on an incredible adventure, taking with him the Rabbi, his cat, a wise old Arab Sheikh and an eccentric Russian millionaire. Beautiful hand drawn animation.

The Rabbi's Cat is available with 72 hours of access using 2 Kanopy tickets.

Kanopy is free with your library card, providing 21 tickets each month to watch streaming movies, documentaries, and TV shows.

Libby Recommendation

The Poisons We Drink - YA Thriller

Bethany Baptiste's "The Poisons We Drink" is a unique blend of action, fantasy, and political intrigue. It features great, believable characters in a rich environment brought to life with terrific world building. Venus is an 18-year-old magic user who supports her family by making illegal love potions. When her mother is murdered, Venus takes charge to keep her younger sister Janus safe in a world that discriminates and terrorizes magic users.

When Venus is suddenly offered an opportunity to gain revenge for her mother's murder, she finds the price may be too high. The leader of the magic-wielders sends Venus on a journey of political manipulation and corruption to use her gift to control the non-magic users. Twists and turns will hide the book's resolution until the very end.

Read this novel as an eaudiobook now, with no wait time. An ebook version and a print edition are scheduled for release in May 2024. Discover great books in Overdrive and Libby.
