FENCED IN — OR OUT
Two Israeli documentaries being screened on a double bill — both making their United States premieres — examine life on the Israeli-Palestinian divide from two very different perspectives. Ruth Walk’s “The Settlers” (2002) looks at the lives and opinions of Orthodox women and children living in the West Bank city of Hebron. Ram Loevy’s “Close, Closed, Closure” (2002) examines a Palestinian family living in the Gaza Strip.

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.
