Tuesday, September 8 | 7:30 PM

From acclaimed Israeli director Oded Raz, Jerusalem ’67 transports audiences to the Six-Day War, where three lives collide as Jerusalem stands on the brink. With the city surrounded and the stakes impossibly high, a civilian woman, a devoted family man, and a young paratrooper commander are swept into a fight that will change their lives — and history — forever. Filmed on location throughout Jerusalem, including the Old City, Western Wall, Mount Zion and Ammunition Hill, the film brings remarkable authenticity to a deeply personal story of courage, sacrifice, love and resilience.

Michael-Ann Russell JCC, 18900 NE 25th Avenue, Miami
