Film Screening and Panel Discussion of Antisemitism

This week, my colleagues at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival will host free screenings of Antisemitism, culminating with a live panel discussion on Sunday 5th December.

It is neither an easy nor a comforting film, but it is an important one, to understand how new movements can breathe life into old hatreds.

And Hanukkah feels like the apt time for us all to shine a light, and together, push back the darkness.

The Human Factor

All day today, the Mosaic Institute is co-presenting the film The Human Factor, at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival. It is a behind-the-scenes account of thirty years of efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.

It sounds naïve today, but during the giddy days when Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin clasped hands, I genuinely believed we were on the cusp of peace in our times.

The unravelling of those hopes were heartbreaking, but instructive, about what we must overcome in any future negotiations.
