Please come along to join us on Sunday 2nd February at 8pm for a film night at JW3. This is in order to mark sexual abuse and sexual violence awareness week and to raise awareness of sexual abuse in the Jewish Community. Tickets are £25 (snacks included) but please donate more if you wish and there are concessions available. Also please do not pay anonymously as there will be a guest list at the door!
Your donations will help to provide counselling sessions for victims of sexual violence.
The film is called Unkept Secrets by Dalit Kimor:
What happens to a Jewish Orthodox, mother of eight, leading a quiet life when one day she finds out her admired rabbi, teacher of her sons, has been sexually abusing them since their Barmitzvah?
Genendi (42) is a married mother of three. 18 years ago she spoke out about being raped by her father, a famous rabbi, when she was a little girl. Since then, none of her 11 siblings or her mother have spoken to her. Genendi was shunned by her extended family too.
