MENDING RELATIONSHIPS, MENDING THE WORLD Iona University and AJC partner for an upcoming event on Monday, September 30th at 7:30pm at Spellman Hall, Burke Lounge, Iona University, 715 North Avenue in New Rochelle. As antisemitic incidents and attacks spike around the world, it is important to learn the story of the ongoing reconciliation between Jews and Christians. Dr. Heather Miller Rubens and Dr. Benjamin Sax will lead an exploration of how different types of stereotypes and misconceptions fueled hate throughout history, how the relationship transformed in recent decades, and how what we learn from that transformation can be applied to urgent problems today. A 15 minute video will be screened. Register here. This event is free and open to the public.

WE WILL DANCE AGAIN by Israeli film director Yariv Mozer (Ben-Gurion, Epilogue, The Devil's Confession—The Lost Eichmann Tapes, Golda's War Diaries). The film provides a powerful minute-by-minute retelling of the terror attack that took place at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th, 2023, from the sole perspective of the survivors. It gives testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of tragedy. We are incredibly fortunate to have our film screened in select theaters across the US and wanted to invite you to experience this profoundly moving story of hope and resilience in a theater in Yonkers, NYC, and other local theaters. In order to check where the film is playing and to get tickets, please click here.
