Israelism Screening and Panel

Israelism

80 min. | Erin Axelman, Sam Eilertsen

March 17, 2024

Israelism offers a glimpse into the ways that many Jews in the United States are educated about and come to identify with the State of Israel. Enter the story of two young adult Jews raised to defend Israel at all costs only to then join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Screening will be followed by a panel with filmmakers.
