Join us in 1️⃣ week for a screening of Palestine 36!This drama examines a historical moment rarely discussed today. Here is the description from the film’s website:

In 1936, as the British Empire tightens its grip on Palestine, Yusuf is caught between his village home and his work in Jerusalem. Amidst an anti-colonial revolt, and Jewish refugees fleeing persecution from Europe, all sides converge in a decisive moment for the entire region.

And, please make sure to start reading Rachel Goldberg-Polin’s memoir When We See You Again. We will hold our conversation about the book on September 2, 6:00 PM PST on Zoom. RSVP for our learning series events via our website or the link in our bio!

We hope you'll join us for Palestine 36, which we will screen on August 27 in Beverly Hills (RSVP for the location). This drama examines a historical moment rarely discussed today. Here is the description from the film's website:

In 1936, as the British Empire tightens its grip on Palestine, Yusuf is caught between his village home and his work in Jerusalem. Amidst an anti-colonial revolt, and Jewish refugees fleeing persecution from Europe, all sides converge in a decisive moment for the entire region.

This film is part of our "Exploring Blind Spots & Biases" learning series for the fall of 2026. The goal of this series is to challenge our own and each others' assumptions. Through these challenging and compassionate conversations, we can all broaden our perspectives and understandings. RSVP here: https://shorturl.at/HAQ1m

We’re honored to announce the return of our “Exploring Blind Spots & Biases” learning series for the fall of 2026. The goal of this series is to challenge our own and each others’ assumptions. Through these challenging and compassionate conversations, we can all broaden our perspectives and understandings.

Our lineup includes:
Aug 27: Palestine 36
Sept 2: When We See You Again
Oct 15: All That’s Left of You
Nov 19: Children No More
You can learn more about each of these stories — and get your tickets for the conversations — here: https://shorturl.at/HAQ1m

Each is a searing, intense story of family pain, some from Palestinian perspectives, some from Israeli perspectives. As with previous versions of this program, we will take time to discuss these stories and our responses to them, leaning on each other to process the deep and powerful emotions that arise.

We hope you’ll join us!
