Join us for our 10th annual in-depth exploration of the daily lives and challenges of Arab citizens of Israel. Featuring a screening of Breaking Bread followed by a moderated conversation with director Beth Elise Hawk and Gazala Halabi.
About Breaking Bread:
Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel—the first Muslim Arab to win Israel’s MasterChef—is on a quest to make social change through food. She founded the A-sham Arabic Food Festival, where pairs of Arab and Jewish chefs collaborate on traditional dishes like kishek (a Syrian yogurt soup) and qatayef (a dessert typically served during Ramadan).
A film about hope, synergy, and mouthwatering fare, Breaking Bread illustrates what happens when people focus on the person, rather than their religion, and on the public, rather than the politicians.
Sponsored by the Greater Washington Forum on Israeli Arab Issues and the Edlavitch DCJCC
