Description

When two young American Jews raised to unconditionally love Israel witness the brutal way Israel treats Palestinians, their lives take sharp left turns. They join a movement of young American Jews battling the old guard to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel, revealing a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity. ISRAELISM uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the region. Selected as winner of the Audience Award documentary at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival. Preceded by JABAL (2023, dir. Zayd Lahham, 21 min.).
