After attending the 1:30pm showing of NAZA (2026) at Images Cinema (50 Spring Street in Williamstown, MA), please join Rabbi Rachel Barenblat at CBI beginning at 3:15pm for a conversation about what the film brings up for us, how we respond to it emotionally and spiritually (and how we respond to each other emotionally and spiritually), and where, as a community, we hope to go from here. Come prepared to listen as well as to speak and to follow our Israel/Palestine discussion guidelines (below). Hosted by the CBI Israel/Palestine Education Committee.
☆ Participants are asked to purchase their own ticket to the 1:30pm screening in advance — thank you for understanding.
Guidelines for Israel/Palestine Discussion at CBI
- Please use “I-statements” (“I feel / I think / I wonder”) rather than speaking in generalities (“everybody knows…”).
- Please make space for each other and be mindful of who hasn’t yet spoken.
- And please make a practice of allowing disagreements to stand. We are not all going to feel the same way, and that’s ok. Our purpose is not to convince each other; it’s to learn together and to practice being in community with each other even when we disagree.
