Houston Jewish Film Festival Screening: The Settlers

Houston Congregation for Reform Judaism is a community partner for the Houston Jewish Film Festival, which takes place from March 5-19.  We are sponsoring the film, The Settlers, on Thursday, March 16 at 7:30PM at the Jewish Community Center (5601 S Braeswood Boulevard, Houston, TX 77096).

Directed by Shimon Dotan, this is a comprehensive view of the Jewish settlers in the occupied territories of the West Bank. A historical overview, a geopolitical study and an intimate look at those people at the core of the most daunting challenges facing Israel and the international community today. The settlers cannot be divided into categories. Some are living in the West Bank because the real estate prices are cheap, some for religious reasons, and some for no particular religious or ideological purpose.  And so the question remains:  What is a settler?

We have 10 complimentary tickets available to see this film and will give these out on a first come, first served basis. Interested? Please contact Justin at 713-782-4162 or admin@hcrj.org. More information about the Houston Jewish Film Festival can be found here.
