------------------------------------------
Budrus is a documentary that tells the story of a Palestinian community organizer, Ayed Morrar, who unites his community members along with Israeli supporters in an unarmed movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel's Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15-year-old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women's contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Together, they unleash an inspiring, yet little-known, movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today. In an action-filled documentary chronicling this movement from its infancy, Budrus shines a light on people who choose nonviolence to confront a threat.

This essential gathering will take place at the UJA-Federation conference facility at 130 East 59th Street, New York, NY, and will bring together leading activists, human rights advocates, scholars, journalists and Jewish community leaders. Together, we will wrestle with human rights in the age of Obama and Netanyahu, strengthen our skills as leaders and help train us to further educate and activate more of the Jewish community.
The conference, which is open to all, will include a special pre-conference for rabbinic and cantorial students and will also include a special presentation of the 2010 Raphael Lemkin Human Rights Awards. Both of these events, held on Sunday, December 5th, will be held at Congregation B'nai Jeshurun (86th Street between Broadway and West End Avenues).
