The Consulate General of Israel to the Pacific Northwest has announced that it is hosting a first-of-its-kind virtual tour in collaboration with the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, the Haifa Museum of Art, the Haifa City Museum, and the San Francisco-Haifa Sister City Committee Sunday, January 17, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.
The Zoom event will visit exhibits presented by three museums. CJM will provide a tour of its Levi Strauss: The History of American Style exhibit, while the Haifa Museum of Art will present its exhibit Spaces in Turmoil and the Haifa City Museum will show its What Will the Neighbors Say? that tells the story of the city s LGBTQ community.
Early next month, the East Bay International Jewish Film Festival is offering a series of free films and talks on the historic struggles of Jews and people of color to achieve equality and justice.
“Sharing Dreams,” which runs Jan. 4 through Jan. 18, is an extension of something the EBIJFF offers in the summer at its annual festival an entire day of programming focused on “all types of prejudice: antisemitism, homophobia, racism, stereotyping,” said Riva Gambert, the EBIJFF director.
The series is being presented for free (thanks to anonymous donors) and is in memory of Ilene Weinreb, who died in November at age 89. An activist who was a staunch advocate for affordable housing, she served two terms as Hayward’s first elected female mayor, starting in 1974.
