How To Make Challah

In 1975, Sarah Rosen’s aunt Jane filmed her 97-year-old immigrant grandmother baking challah, the traditional Jewish bread. In 2022, Sarah filmed her aunt Jane (now 80) baking challah herself for the very first time. Join us for a screening of the short documentary film “How to Make Challah,” about one Jewish family’s relationship with baking and Jewish tradition, followed by a discussion about the story of the film, family history, and the shifts in Jewish American identity reflected through the generations.

We’ve Been Here Before

We’ve Been Here Before is an intimate look at the non-conformists in the punk subculture who fought back against white nationalists and neo-Nazis in the 1990s. The film draws connections between those battles and the current rise in antisemitism and hate that threaten democracy today, offering important lessons for the present.
