We invite you to join us on Wednesday, October 7th for a special screening of The Bridge at Jacob Burns in Pleasantville at 5pm followed by a talk back with New Castle resident Mike Leibowitz, a featured musician in the movie, and Rabbi Brusso of Bet Torah.

The Bridge follows 10 young Israeli survivors of the October 7 attacks who travel to Los Angeles to participate in a Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp, where they use music, performance, and connection with legendary rock musicians as a way to process trauma and begin healing.

Space is limited. Tickets are free. Registration is required. See link in comments below.
