A special screening of the documentary Tragic Awakening, which delves into how the events of October 7th have heightened our awareness of critical truths about antisemitism. It’s a compelling exploration of the challenges we face, balanced with a message of resilience and hope.

The evening will feature live appearances by producer Raphael Shore, an internationally acclaimed filmmaker and activist, and Rawan Osman, a pioneering voice in Middle Eastern peace advocacy. Following the screening, there will be a Q&A session with both speakers, offering attendees a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about combating antisemitism and building bridges for the future.
