Hudson rabbi to host film showing at library

Filmmaker Naftaly Gliksberg’s acclaimed film, Look Into My Eyes: Underlying Anti-Semitism, will be screened at
 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at Hudson Library & Historical Society. Rabbi Sheldon Ezring, leader of Hudson’s Temple
Beth Shalom, will lead a discussion following the showing.

In the film, Gliksberg investigates what anti-Semitism looks like today, crossing two continents to see how people react
to direct questions about their attitudes toward Jews, Israel and the notion that there is such a thing as anti-Semitism.
The film was featured at the International Human Rights Film Festival in New York City last June, as well as at other film
 festivals around the country.

 Rabbi Ezring says the topic continues to be relevant in today’s world for both Jews and others.

“I’d like to have an open discussion on the continuing effects of anti-Semitism on the life of the modern Jew,” Ezring
 says. “What are the main types of anti-Semitism? Is being anti-Israel synonymous with being anti-Semitic? Does the
threat hold the same power in the Jewish community today that it did in the past?”

 The free event is part of Siegal College’s Hodesh Limud (month of Jewish learning) program. For more information
