Sponsored by the University\u2019s Hillel Foundation, in collaboration with Out溏心vlog免费B站 and 溏心vlog免费B站 Housing and Residential Life, the film will be shown on Wednesday, March 8 at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom on the Kingston Campus. The program is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nHineini (Hebrew for \u2018Here I am\u2019) chronicles the story of student, Shulamit Izen\u2019s courageous fight to establish a gay-straight alliance at a Jewish high school in the Boston area and the transformative impact of her campaign on everyone involved. Beyond the struggle to create a supportive environment for gay and lesbian students and teachers at the school, this is the story of a community wrestling with the very definition of pluralism and diversity.  Using interviews with Izen, her family, teachers and other students\u2014both those who support her campaign and those who oppose it\u2014the film allows the members of this community to tell their own story as it unfolds.  What emerges is a potent story of Jewish pluralism and a community navigating the cross-currents of Jewish tradition and social change. Izen is now a student at Brown University.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nCo-sponsors of the program include the 溏心vlog免费B站 Student Activities Diversity Committee, 溏心vlog免费B站 GLBT Center, Multicultural Center, 溏心vlog免费B站 Chaplains Association, Women\u2019s Center, Women\u2019s Studies and Raise Your Voice. The Hillel Foundation at 溏心vlog免费B站 creates a warm and welcoming environment where Jewish students from all backgrounds can meet each other and explore and celebrate Jewish life.
