Tonight we move from Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Remembrance Day) to Yom Haatzmaut (Israeli Independence Day). To celebrate, we are making a big pan of shakshuka for dinner and watching Israeli movies!

In 2016, we hosted Chef Michael Solomonov and Director Roger Sherman to talk about Israeli food, Zahav restaurant and cookbook, and
In Search of Israeli Cuisine. The film is a portrait of Israel through its food and through the eyes of Solomonov, an acclaimed Israeli-American chef. See where to watch HERE. |

BJFF2019 Documentary
Sustainable Nation is now available on-demand!
|
|
|
Sustainable Nation focuses on the efforts of three Israelis to bring water to a thirsty planet. From a hydrating a farm in California to building wells across Africa, the film reminds us both how important water is to our survival and of the important role Israeli technology is playing in creating a more sustainable planet.

|
|
|
|
Though, of course, in these times, we are very aware of how essential water for hand washing is to our health! |
|
|
Join us as we partner with OpenDor Media (formerly Jerusalem U) and the Jewish National Fund for the Online Premiere Screening of the award-winning film
Sustainable Nation in honor of Yom Ha’atzmaut. Tune in HERE anytime from April 26th to May 2nd to watch this incredible film.
