Movie Night: ‘All We Carry’
Monday, May 5, 2025 • 7 Iyyar 5785
6:00 PM - 7:30 PMSocial HallJoin B’nai Tikvah to watch “All We Carry,” the intimate story of one family, while humanizing one of the most divisive issues of our time: immigration. The film follows Magdiel, Mirna, and their young son, Joshua—as they flee targeted cartel violence in Honduras on foot and ride in cargo trains across Mexico, claim asylum at the US border, and endure detention before being released to live with extended family in Seattle, Washington. After two months living in Seattle, the young family’s fortune suddenly changes when a West Seattle synagogue offers to sponsor them for the two years leading up to their final asylum date. As the family forms bonds in their new community they learn about the synagogue’s members’ own history of persecution and migration. After living in a state of limbo for two years, Magdiel and Mirna have their long-awaited court appearance and receive a decision on their case. As they share the news with the community who embraced them, we witness the powerful ending to their search for home. The three extraordinary years in Magdiel and Mirna's lives that we watch unfold on screen show a love story full of joy and grief in equal measure.

A committed activist and top leader of the Masorti/Conservative Movement in Israel and around the world, Co-Chairwoman of MERCAZ Olami, Emily Levy-Shochat, joins us for a conversation about how our voices as American Jews can help protect Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state, while also strengthening the Jewish people and pluralism worldwide. Overall, Emily will speak about the situation in Israel, the challenges facing Israeli society since October 7th and explain why the Zionist Congress is such a powerful tool, the only tangible democratic tool Diaspora Jews have. As the former long-time Chairwoman of the Masorti Movement in Israel, the former Vice Chairwoman of KKL/JNF and Chairwoman of its Environment and Science Committee (dealing particularly with combating climate change in Israel), and a member of the board at the Association of Ethiopian Jews in Israel, Emily can speak so passionately and knowledgably about the national institutions of the Jewish people – WZO, the Jewish Agency, and KKL/JNF – and why these democratic institutions (that is, voting in elections for the World Zionist Congress) that belong to Jews around the world are so crucial for the future not only of Masorti Judaism in Israel, but for Conservative/Masorti Judaism and its values around the world as well as the future of Israel, Israeli society, and the Jewish people as a whole. A light dinner will be served. -

In this six-week course, we will examine six women who lived in the time of the Talmud, whom the rabbis labeled as a shrew, a primadonna, a black widow, and so on. But was that all that they were? Was that all the rabbis thought of them? Or is there more to the story, hidden in the margins? Based on the acclaimed work of scholar GIla Fine, we will uncover the secret lives of these six remarkable women. -
