Join us as we watch “The Dove Flyer”, a film based on the famous book by acclaimed Iraqi author Eli Amir, and get a glimpse into the lives of the Iraqi Jews during the 1950s. This touching coming-of-age film follows a young Jewish teenager in Baghdad at the time of the controversial and complicated process of the Iraqi Jews’ immigration to Israel.
Before the screening we’ll be serving up fresh Sabih, a traditional Iraqi Jewish pita sandwich consisting of chopped salad, fried eggplant, amba (pickled mango chutney), and boiled egg (can be left out if you’re vegan).
