REPAIRING THE WORLD:

The Maine Jewish Film Festival is partnering with the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine and the Maine Jewish Museum to present a free community screening of Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life documenting Pittsburgh’s powerful community response to hate in the aftermath of the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history.

Directly after the film, there will be a panel discussion with Umaru Balde, Director of the Department of Justice, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for the City of Portland, and Mandy Levine, former employment attorney who is now a DEI consultant and workplace investigator; and Rabbi Andy Bachman, founder of Water Over Rocks, the Center for Midwestern Jewish Communities, and a Senior Consultant to the Jewish Community Legacy Project, to discuss ways to combat hate in our community.

Bagels, lox, and other tasty refreshments will be served, courtesy of our friends at Rose Foods.
