In the weeks unfolding after Liat is kidnapped, her father resists efforts to use her captivity to justify escalating violence in Gaza, exposing political and emotional rifts within his family as they struggle to find a way to bring her home. The movie will run for 93 minutes, followed by a talkback with the film’s producer, Lance Kramer and IKAR’s Senior Rabbi, Rabbi Sharon Brous. Learn more about the film here.

Please join us on Sunday, January 18, 2026 for our annual 5K & Community Day. Let’s get together for a fun run/walk/move our bodies however we are able. We’ll also shmooze and nosh and do some good work together at Cheviot Hills Park (2459 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90064) at 9:30am. 5K Fun Run Participants register here. You can meander, skip, jog, dance, run, or race your way to the finish line all while raising money for social action. Join us in loving our newest neighbors. In honor of Melanie Pozez z”l, who loved to help people, please bring packaged diapers (all sizes) to the park and join us in making cards for families at the YMCA New American Welcome Center. At a time when immigrant families are feeling vulnerable, we want to let them know that they are truly welcome in LA. Help us with Set Up, Check In, Kids Activities, and Clean Up. New members: this event is free to you! Email [email protected] in order to join us and see what we are all about. If you’re not in Los Angeles, a virtual run option is available. You can still register and run elsewhere, you’ll be with us in spirit! Send us your selfies or tag us in your posts @weareikar. Can you beat our local runners? Show us what you got, Afarites! Come join us for this great event! We look forward to being together with you to make this community day fun and meaningful for all!
