Event Details
The Charlotte Jewish Film Festival Presents The New Jew: Days of War.
The New Jew: Days of War follows Israeli comedian Guri Alfi as he journeys through the American Jewish experience in the wake of October 7th. Through powerful personal stories—from families of hostages to young Jews navigating rising antisemitism and generational tensions around Israel—the film explores how this crisis has reshaped Jewish identity, safety, and belonging in the U.S. Blending empathy with his signature humor, Alfi brings humanity and accessibility to difficult topics, capturing both pain and resilience. A follow-up to the acclaimed 2021 series The New Jew, this timely documentary offers a heartfelt look at a community searching for unity and hope in uncertain times.
David Lubin, from Atlanta, GA will be joining in person to speak about his daughter IDF Sgt. Rose Lubin, 20, who died while guarding one of the most holy sites in the world after the attacks of Oct. 7.
