Jewish Voice For Peace Charlotte invites you to a free screening of Israelism, the documentary that follows a young Jewish American college student through her eye opening trip to Palestine, and asks the questions she couldn’t get answered. This documentary begs us to meet our faith at the entrance to a better world, and live up to the youth. The screening will be followed by a talk with Barry Trachtenberg of Wake forest University.

We appreciate and honor your presence to show up with an open heart.
