Hineini:

Coming Out in a Jewish High School

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Finkelstein Memorial Library

24 Chestnut St., Spring Valley, NY 6:30PM

Discussion with local Rabbis and a representative from Keshet to follow film.  Keshet is a grassroots organization dedicated to creating a fully inclusive Jewish community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) Jews.

Hineini (Hebrew for 'Here I Am')
Hineini chronicles the story of one student's courageous fight to establish a Gay - Straight alliance at a Jewish high school in the Boston area and the transformative impact of her campaign on her entire community. The film allows the members of this community to tell their own stories. What emerges is a potent and inspiring story of Jewish pluralism and a community navigating the cross-currents of Jewish tradition and social change.

This program is made possible with co-sponsorship from CANDLE, Center Lane, The LOFT: LGBT Community Center, PFLAG Rockland, GLSEN Rockland, Rockland Family Shelter and Rivertown Film Society.
