“Ben-Gurion, Epilogue:” A Community-Wide Film Screening and Discussion @ Zoom Presentation
May 16 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Congregation Neveh Shalom, Israel 360 and Americans for Ben-Gurion University  are pleased to invite you to a free online screening of the award-winning documentary, Ben-Gurion, Epilogue, to be enjoyed anytime between May 6-19, 2021. Then join us for a free Zoom discussion with the film’s director, Yariv Mozer, live from Israel on Sunday, May 16, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. PT.

This 70-minute documentary brings to life Ben-Gurion’s introspective soul-searching, revealing and surprising vision for today’s crucial decisions and the future of Israel. The film was made possible when the lost soundtrack to a six-hour interview was discovered in BGU’s Ben-Gurion Archives.   To view a trailer for the movie, go to:

Israel360 in collaboration with Americans for Ben Gurion University  are co-sponsoring this event with the following community partners: Consulate General of Israel PNW, Harold Schnitzer Judaic Studies Program, Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, the Mittleman Jewish Community Center, Oregon Jewish Life, and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education.
