Lion of Zion: Documentary Screening and Q&A with Yuri Foreman at Great Neck Library

In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month, we invite you to a special screening of the documentary Lion of Zion. After the film, join us for an exclusive Q&A session featuring world champion boxer and Rabbi Yuri Foreman.

The only world champion boxer from Israel, Yuri Foreman believes that balancing faith and fortitude can lead to greatness. After losing his title in 2010, he studied Judaism to understand the connection between his boxing pursuits and his spiritual quests. In 2014, he was ordained as a Rabbi. Despite being past his prime, Yuri is not done with the ring and strives to make history by becoming the first Rabbi Boxing Champion of the World.

Directed by Mike Musikanto, this 32-minute documentary will be shown at the Great Neck Library (159 Bayview Avenue) on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. No registration is necessary, and everyone is welcome.
