Support the Rutgers Jewish Film Festival at 25; Spotlight on New Books

 

Thank you for supporting Jewish arts & culture in New Jersey! Support the Festival!   Celebrate 25 years of impactful Jewish films by becoming a festival sponsor! The film festival supports the voices and creativity of Jewish and Israeli artists who are increasingly excluded from cultural events, making support of the festival even more important.   Ticket sales account for only a portion of the festival's budget. We rely on community sponsors to bridge the difference and help create an outstanding film festival.   Learn More Spotlight on New Books Talks are free and open to the public   September 18, 1:00 p.m. (Virtual)     Register   Jeffrey Shandler, Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University, tells the story of a pioneering effort in 1940s New York to build a museum to memorialize the Jewish cultures of Eastern Europe destroyed during the Holocaust.
