Screening of “A Third Way” @ Havurah Shir Hadash
Dec 10 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

On Saturday, December 10 at 7 PM, the Havurah Synagogue and Temple Emek Shalom present a screening of “A Third Way,” a gripping story about the power of building intercultural and interfaith trust on a grassroots level between Israeli settlers and Palestinians. In a time of global conflict, extremism and “fundamentalisms” of many kinds, “A Third Way” tells a story of a microcosm, a small community of people normally thought of as enemies, who become friends. These improbable friendships may be the seeds, growing right now, of a better future for all in the Holy Land. Director Harvey Stein, will introduce the film and lead a discussion following the screening. Sliding scale tickets at the door, $5 – $10. The Havurah is located at 185 N. Mountain Ave. in Ashland. Call 541-488-7716 for more info.
