Don your best Irish and join in Shamrock’n the Harbor. The family-friendly run/walk event encourages all ages to get seriously Irish. Run, walk, or skip along your Shamrock’n journey!
The 5k and 12k routes take runners, walkers and strollers, o’er the hills, dales, streets and trails of our greater Gig Harbor and Key Peninsula region. Shamrock’n the Harbor benefits the Gig Harbor Senior Center and is a great excuse to get outside while helping a great cause.
The award-winning documentary film ISRAELISM will be shown on Saturday evening, March 16 at 7:15 at Tacoma Community College (Auditorium in Building 2, off South 12th Street).
Following the film, there will be a discussion and Q&A with Erin Axelman, the film’s director, and Simone Zimmerman, one of the two people featured in the documentary. Zimmerman is also a co-founder of If Not Now.
Israelism is about two young American Jews who were raised to unconditionally support Israel and then while visiting there, they witness the way Israel treats Palestinians. Initially devastated, they end up joining a movement of young American Jews who are battling the old guard to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel.
The film won a number of film-festival awards last year, including the Audience Award for documentaries at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, Best Documentary at the Arizona International Film Festival, and the Official Selection at the Brooklyn Film Festival.
“This is a Jewish AND an American story,” says Barb Stuebing of Spokane, “of coming to terms with some hard realities that are contrary to everything we’ve believed. Some of us had a Rodney King moment of realization, while others discovered it with George Floyd, or during the civil rights movement or the Vietnam War. Most of us at some point in our lives swam in some kind of ‘kool-aid’ and then had a reckoning. These two young Jews bring us along on their journey of understanding the moral challenges of Zionism.”
This event is sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace/Tacoma. Co-sponsors include the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice, Tacoma Democratic Socialists of America, and Veterans for Peace of Tacoma (134).
This event is free and open to the public. Find it on Facebook HERE. An RSVP is appreciated but not required (email address below).
