Israeli Film "The Settlers" Screening
Sunday, Oct 22nd 2:00p to 4:00p
Join us for a screening of the film, "The Settlers," previously shown at the Jewish Film Festival. “Opens a rare window into the reclusive and politically explosive ‘hilltop youth’ movement. … Chronicles the germination of the early settler movement after Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in 1967, including the ideas and religious zeal that fueled it. … one of the first close-up views of the motives and personalities in a group that rarely opens up to outsiders.”- James Glanz, The New York Times. Refreshments and discussion to follow screening. Free and open to the public. Havurah Shalom is a co-sponsor of the screening. Questions? Contact Nancy Becker at nancyjbecker@gmail.com. -
