The inspiring story of one student's courageous fight to establish a gay-straight alliance at a Jewish high school and the transformative impact on her entire community. 

"The making of Hineini has enabled the dialogue about inclusion that Shulamit sparked in one school to continue in other communities all around the country. We hope that Hineini will help your community engage similarly with the fundamental themes of this story: the meaning of community, identity and difference, the Jewish imperative for social justice, and the evolution of Jewish thought and tradition."

-Keshet, the organization which made Hineni will present a discussion with the film's star SHULAMIT IZEN and a Kosher Pizza Dinner will be served.

At a follow-up event for teens, attendees will explore forming a community-wide Jewish Gay-Straight Alliance.

Teens interested in serving in an advisory capacity or just generally getting involved are urged to get in touch with Rabbi Elisa Goldberg at 267.256.2077 or email EGoldberg@jfcsphilly.org

This event is co-chaired by Rabbi Erin Hirsh & Rabba Nehama Benmosche.  This is a project of the GLBTQ Task Force of Jewish Family & Children's Service.
