The Israeli Lens
The 22nd annual Israel Film Festival descends on the Big Apple with 30 feature films, documentaries and TV shows.
The event opens with Ayelet Menahemi’s “Noodle,” an award-winning drama about a 37-year-old widowed flight attendant who finds herself caring for an abandoned Chinese boy whose mother has been deported from Israel. Some 25 filmmakers will attend screenings and question-and-answer sessions.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
