As part of the San Diego Women's Film Festival presented by the Women's Museum of California, the film Ester Broner: A Weave of Women by Lilly Rivlin will be screened.
The film documents the evolution of Jewish feminism through archival footage and interviews with leading Jewish feminists. In 1975 Esther Broner and Naomi Nimrod wrote the first Women's Haggadah, paving the way for modern Jewish feminism. For the next 36 years, Esther Broner led the Feminist Passover Seder in New York City, with a core group of women. Without her, it is assumed, modern Jewish women might not have found a worthy place in the home, in society, and in Jewish tradition.
There will be a discussion panel after the film screening with Sandra Silverstein, one of the early founders of the Jewish Film Festival, & Craig Prater, the Director of the San Diego Jewish Film Festival.
Admission/Cost: $8 (WMOC Members); $10 (Non-Members)
