On Saturday April 14, at 2:30 PM, the film “Jews Step Forward” will be shown at Perry Auditorium, in the Washington National Cathedral, 3101 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, in Washington, DC. The showing is sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace as part of the 4th Annual Voices from The Holy Land 2018 Film Series. Admission is free of charge.
“Jews Step Forward” documents Israel’s policies toward the Palestinian population and international norms as these policies affect Israel’s prospects for peace and regional integration. The film also traces a path grounded in Jewish identity, which ultimately separates personal conscience from a myth-laden, socialized attitude to the state of Israel today.
Richard Forer, interviewed in the film, will moderate the Q&A discussion after the film. Forer is author of Breakthrough: Transforming Fear into Compassion – A New Perspective on the Israel-Palestine Conflict. All showings in the Voices from the Holy Land film series are free and start promptly. Please visit www.voicesfromtheholyland.org.
