Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The Other Israel Film Festival continues with a look back at Zionism in the 1930s.
Join Forward editor-at-large J.J. Goldberg for the U.S. premiere of “Looking For Zion,” a documentary directed by Tamara Erde. Inspired by photographs taken by her Zionist grandfather, she finds herself on a journey, discovering the decisions and reasons behind his images. It leads her to take a more in-depth look at the history of the Zionist dream.
Goldberg will moderate a Q&A with Erde following the screening, at 8:30 p.m. November 5 at the Marlene Meyerson JCC in Manhattan.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
