Another approach would be to try to rent the Art for a single showing of Budrus.<div><br></div><div>Would anyone be interested in pursuing this? Perhaps we can get the Committee on Jewish Culture and Society to co-sponsor. It is, after all, an Israeli film. :)</div>

stories, and someone has gone to the trouble of packaging a bunch of<br>those stories in a particularly accessible form - a form that a<br>Washington Post reporter called "riveting" and "a sure-fire<br>crowd-pleaser," and former AIPAC staffer M.J. Rosenberg called a<br>
"totally engaging" story of "regular people" who "take their fate into<br>their own hands." It seems to me that trying to take advantage of such<br>an opportunity is a minimum thing that one can do.<br>
