Please join Congregation Adath Jeshurun for an exciting event in honor and celebration of MLK Day on Monday, January 20.  We have rented the Hiway Theater in Jenkintown between 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM. We will screen the powerful and provocative movie, Origin, written by Ava DuVernay, telling the story of a how Isabel Wilkerson researched the global phenomenon of caste systems. Wilkerson looks at antisemitism, African American racism, and the treatment of the Dalits (the untouchables in India) through the prism of caste ultimately identifying eight pillars of caste that illuminate the connections among those three prejudices.

After the showing of the movie, we will have an opportunity to discuss her ideas and their implications. Don’t miss this opportunity; open to the community at large. Tickets: $10.00 per person; Tickets with popcorn and water: $15.00 per person. Register below and pay at the Hiway on the day of the screening.
