Movie Night – “The Levys of Monticello”

When Thomas Jefferson died in 1826, he left behind a
mountain of personal debt, forcing his heirs to sell his
beloved Monticello home and all its possessions. “The
Levys of Monticello” tells the little-known story of the
Levy family, which owned and carefully preserved
Monticello for nearly a century, far longer than
Jefferson or his descendants. The tale of the Levy
family also intersects with the rise of antisemitism that
runs throughout the course of American history.
Directed by Steven Pressman and released in 2022, “The
Levys of Monticello” has garnered multiple awards at
Jewish film festivals in Atlanta, Philadelphia and
Washington.
