Colliding Dreams: Documentary History of Zionism is the Focus of SJCA’s Panel Discussion on April 28 Via Zoom

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Saratoga Jewish Community Arts, supported by a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Northeastern NY and sponsored by Temple Sinai of Saratoga Springs, presents a panel discussion of the 2015 documentary Colliding Dreams by American filmmakers Joseph Dorman and Oren Rudavsky on April 28 at 7 pm on Zoom.

 Few ideas in the modern era have had as much impact on the world as Zionism. Colliding Dreams recounts the movement’s dramatic history, one of the most controversial and urgently relevant political ideologies of today. 

 “What does the future hold – what’s the solution?” SAID Phyllis Wang, Coordinator of SJCA, in a statement “We hear all the time, ‘it’s complicated.’ That perspective shows an inciteful awareness of the countless interlocking pieces in this history -- and offers little guidance or a route to resolution.”

 Colliding Dreams can be viewed free of charge on Kanopy (registration with a library card required). It can also be rented from Apple, Google Play and You Tube. 

 The panel discussion will be held on Zoom on April 28 at 7 p.m. To register go to the SJCA Home Page www.saratogajewishculturalfestival.org.
