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.
Film Forum, 200 West Houston St.; through Jan. 28, 1 p.m., 3:15 p.m., 5:45 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10:10 p.m.; $9.75, $5 members, seniors, children 12 and younger. (212-727-8110)

With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
