Kitchen Kavod Presents: Afterward film screening + Q&A with filmmaker Ofra Bloch
Note that this meeting will be in-person at a TBA location for the film screening of Afterward followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Ofra Bloch.
Kitchen Kavod invites you to the screening of Afterward, a documentary by Jerusalem-born psychoanalyst Ofra Bloch. In this timely film, Ofra journeys through Germany and Israel/Palestine, and faces those she was raised to fear and hate as she searches to understand the identity-making narratives of the Holocaust and the Nakba and the possibility of reconciliation.
Through watching the film together and a Q&A with Ofra Bloch and psychoanalyst Denni Liebowitz, we will contemplate inherited collective trauma through self-study and self-awareness, considering how we can move toward healing and the possibilities of peace and increased safety in ourselves and our communities.

This group set out to do the difficult and vital work of anti-racism by establishing a community, learning more about race and racism, and listening to Jewish voices, especially Black ones. We will be looking at institutional racism through inviting new facilitators, and exploring shared topics of interest.
