Join us on the evening of Wednesday January 18th from 5-7pm for the screening of the short-film titled, Periphery, followed by a Q/A with the film's director, Sara Yacobi-Harris.
Periphery is an evocative film about ethnic diversity in the Jewish community of Toronto, Canada. Through dance, poetry, and personal narratives, 10 Jews of Black/African, Korean, Iraqi, Indian, and South American ancestry challenge perceptions of who is a Jew. Periphery invites us to appreciate the richness of Jewish identity and cultural expression while illustrating the feeling of grappling to belong. Join us as we dive deep into intersectional experiences in Jewish communities in Canada and explore racism and antisemitism as they unfold in our societies today.
Event in collaboration with Hillel York. A short reception to follow. Light Kosher refereshments will be served.
