SUMMARY:Film Screening: Special Preview of 'There Is Another Way'
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Judson Memorial Church on January 23rd from 7:00-9:30pm for a special preview screening of There Is Another Way\, followed by a meaningful conversation with filmmakers and Combatants for Peace members centered on collective liberation. \nThere Is Another Way\, a powerful new documentary\, tells the story of a group of visionaries – Combatants for Peace – who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice\, and in doing so show that another path is possible – for them\, for us\, and for all humanity. As we are all faced with essential questions about who we are\, will we choose collective liberation\, where the needs\, rights\, and safety of all are prioritized – in which our humanity comes first\, knowing that no one is free until everyone is free. \nCombatants for Peace is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants – Israelis and Palestinians – working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Confronted with the devastation and escalating violence of October 7th and the war in Gaza\, the very core of the movement faces great challenges in showing that there is another way. The first question they must move past relates to their own beliefs…is this possible? \nYou can buy tickets here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/thereisanotherway/1511277

SUMMARY:Virtual: Joint Nakba Remembrance Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:On May 15\, 2025\, join the Joint Nakba Remembrance Ceremony\, hosted by Combatants for Peace and co-sponsored by NYJA and many other interfaith groups. This year’s theme—“Holding onto Home\, Holding onto Hope”—reflects on the enduring cycle of displacement and loss that Palestinians have experienced since 1948. Yet the ceremony also looks ahead. It affirms a vision of peace rooted in dignity and justice—a vision in which Palestinians are not defined by displacement\, but by their right to live freely and securely. Holding onto home is about more than geography; it is a commitment to reconciliation—not only for individuals\, but for the land itself. It is a vision of collective liberation\, where the oppressed are free from domination and the oppressors are freed from the systems that bind them to violence. It is a call to weave peace into the collective identity of all who call this place home. \n\nRegister to join us virtually: https://bit.ly/nakba2025

SUMMARY:All Politics is Local: Amy Spitalnick in Conversation with Andrew Silow-Carroll
DESCRIPTION:In-person at B’nai Jeshurun: This year’s mayoral election has had an outsized impact on the Jewish community in New York City and around the country\, shining a spotlight on the place of Judaism and Zionism in local politics.
