*Jerusalem is Proud to Present*
Monday, April 14th
7:30pm in Lerner Cinema
Film Synopsis:
In the summer of 2006, Jerusalem was to host, for the first time in history, the World Pride events, which were to culminate in a traditional gay pride parade. The planned events stirred turmoil in the politically complex city, with Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious leaders banding together in an uncompromising battle against what they said would "defile the holy city." On the other side stood the activists of the Open House, Jerusalem's LGBT community center, who planned the events. Steadfast in the face of the heated and violent anti-gay sentiment, they had to deal with threats to much more than just their right to march.
8) [study] break it down is eating STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!
As always, Tuesday night at 10pm on the 3rd floor of Hillel (115th St. between Broadway and Riverside, across from Schapiro).
