The Film - "IN OUR OWN HANDS"

A fittting end to our Israel Week activities - this is a powerful film of Jewish Resistance that tells the dramatic narrative of the hidden story of the Jewish Brigade.  From their early struggles in Palestine to the trenches of Northern Italy and back to claim a homeland of thier own, these young soldiers carried the weight of a people on their shoulders.
