Kabbalat Shabbat & Talk: The Making of a Secret Faith

Westhope Presbyterian Church

January 29, 2024: Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A 5-year-old girl is trapped in a car under fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab.&nbsp; 
Reviewers say 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' is essential viewing that delivers devastating emotional impact through unflinching realism and masterful restraint. The film's commitment to truth, featuring actual audio recordings, creates a profoundly moving experience that forces audiences to confront uncomfortable realities. Praised for exceptional performances and sensitive direction, it serves as vital social commentary and an act of resistance against erasure. While intensely heartbreaking and tear-inducing, reviewers unanimously consider it among the most important films of our time, demanding moral engagement long after viewing.
This film is Oscar Nominated for Best International Film.
