Re-Emerge: Jewish Revival Across Latin America with the Haberman Institute

November 6 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

RE-EMERGE ASKS WHAT IT MEANS TO ÒBELONG’ AND INVITES US TO RETHINK WHO GETS TO BE PART OF THE JEWISH STORY.
An intimate and eye-opening portrait of Latin America’s emerging Jewish communities, meet the ordinary people taking extraordinary steps to reclaim a faith that was once stripped away.

Directed by Jewish filmmaker and educator Dani Rotstein, and produced by Rotstein and Mexican filmmaker Patricio Serna, this short documentary series spotlights communities across Latin America rediscovering their Jewish identity, often after generations of silence.

Join us online to screen the first episode together. Set in Puerto Rico, a small group of devoted individuals build a Jewish life independently from scratch: learning online, gathering in a repurposed synagogue, and reconnecting with a lost heritage despite resistance from both outside and within the Jewish world.

Following the screening, join us for a live dialogue with the filmmakers and Puerto Rican participants featured in
