film, "Inventing Our Life- The Kibbutz Experiment". Please join us for
this entertaining and illuminating film and our special guest, Hillel
Damron, who will lead a discussion after the film. The local Jewish blog

be celebrating their 5th year of continuous political commentary at this
event. Light refreshments will be served. $5 suggested donation.
Set against the backdrop of the kibbutz movement's glorious 100-year
history, Inventing Our Life reveals the heartbreak and hope of Israel's
communal living experiment as a new generation of women and men confront
an essential question: can a radically socialist institution survive a
new capitalist reality?
In this "illuminating and entertaining"
(Jewish Week) documentary, director Toby Perl Freilich explores the
modern history of Israel, from its revolutionary settlers to the
political upheaval that shook the socialist foundations of the state.
With their desire to create a Jewish homeland and build a more just
society, the first settlers helped place kibbutzim in the vanguard of
Israeli history. In doing so, they became a magnet for all those who
shared one thing in common - a powerful urge to invent their own life.
