WE LEARNED FROM TWO YOUNG JEWISH AMERICANS ON SATURDAY, MARCH 9TH @ 4PM
ISRAELISM uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself. Two young American Jews are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. When they witness Israel's mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken.
Faith Action and Calvary by the Sea sponsored and partnered with Jewish Voice for Peace to present this documentary. A panel shared their thoughts after the screening. As a Bold and Learning Congregation, CBTS supported the film and made time to be present. The screening was free, presented at Central Union Church. For more information please visit, israelismfilm.com
ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY:
Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world. They’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle, guided by a vision of justice, equality, and dignity for all people. The Hawai‘i Chapter of JVP will sponsor a film screening of Israelism and a panel discussion with JVP members and a representative from the film. Israelism, directed by two first-time Jewish filmmakers who share a similar story to the film’s protagonists, uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED AND SUPPORTED IN-PERSON AND ON-LINE! THE CONVERSATION WILL CONTINUE.
