As part of the 30th anniversary of the Edmonton Jewish Film Festival (EJFF), we are pleased to present a free, special, invite-only screening in recognition of the meaningful support you provide to our community through the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) campaign and EJFF.
Feature Presentation
From October 6 to October 7
Spanning from the Yom Kippur War to the events of October 7, Major General Doron Almog’s life reflects decades of profound challenge and loss. Surrounded by personal tragedy, the Israel Prize laureate offers a powerful example of resilience, transforming grief into a lasting legacy of leadership and hope.
Monday, May 4
6:30 – 9 p.m.
Beth Israel Synagogue
Attendance is complimentary, with advance registration required.
Following the screening, we will be joined for a fireside conversation featuring Yaron Deckel, Canadian Regional Director of the Jewish Agency for Israel, in discussion with Stacey Leavitt-Wright, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Edmonton.
The Jewish Agency for Israel plays a vital role globally, supporting Jewish communities in times of crisis, strengthening Jewish identity, and fostering enduring connections between Israel and Jewish communities worldwide. This important work is made possible through the continued support of the UJA campaign and the broader efforts of the Federation.
This evening offers a meaningful opportunity to engage more deeply with that impact. With Yaron’s participation, the conversation will explore the international initiatives you help make possible, alongside a thoughtful discussion of the current realities and evolving political landscape in Israel.
As EJFF marks its 30th anniversary, this milestone year offers a chance not only to celebrate three decades of storytelling, but also to come together around a film and conversation that speak to the moment we are living in.
We also invite you to explore the full festival lineup and join us for additional screenings and events throughout EJFF’s anniversary program. Full details and tickets are available on the festival website.
