SUMMARY:Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History
DESCRIPTION:Documentary film followed by Panel and Audience Discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History’\nEpisode 3 (53 minutes) \nDate: Thursday\, July 23\, 2026 7:00 PM\nWhere: Congregation Keneseth Israel – 2227 W. Chew Street\, Allentown 18104 \n  \n‘Why Build Bridges Across Difference?’\nBlack and Jewish America: An Interwoven History is a four-part series from acclaimed scholar Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, exploring the rich and complex relationship between Black Americans and Jewish Americans throughout our nation’s history. It is a kinship defined by powerful moments of solidarity and painful episodes of division.

The series explores both the challenges and the enduring promise of that alliance. We will be watching episode 3 only. \nPanel and audience discussion facilitated by Robin Riley-Casey\, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Community Belonging at Muhlenberg College and Dan Poresky\, host of the JCC Jewish Film Nights program. \nSponsored by Brit Olam and Lifelong Learning Committees of Keneseth Israel \nPlease RSVP: jthomases@yahoo.com 484-358-1200 \nPlan to arrive at 6:45 so we can start on time. \nREGISTER HERE!\n  \n
