 LUNAR for the premiere of two episodes of the LUNAR project—a series of 
 short films that explore the intersection of Jewish and Asian heritage. 
 \n\nThrough exploration of topics ranging from cultural inheritance to the 
 model minority myth, LUNAR sheds light on the diversity of the Jewish and 
 Asian American experiences. After the screening, stick around for a 
 conversation with cast members and LUNAR organizers.\n\nEpisode 3: 
 "Cultural Values or Cultural Trauma? Unpacking What We've 
 Inherited"\n\nFrom family heirlooms to generational trauma, the objects, 
 stories, and histories we inherit from our ancestors impact our own lived 
 experiences.In this episode, Jewish Asian Americans discuss the cultural 
 values passed down in our families—including positive values that 
 continue to be meaningful, and harmful values that we wish to 
 unlearn.\n\nEpisode 4: "Racism in the Jewish Community: Asian American Jews 
 Get Real"\n\nAs two communities who are both stereotyped as "model 
 minorities,” American Jews and Asian Americans are seemingly 
 well-positioned for mutual understanding and solidarity. However, as is 
 common for Jews of Color, many Asian American Jews experience feeling 
 excluded, tokenized, or fetishized in Jewish communities. In this episode, 
 Jewish Asian Americans share our experiences with racism, anti-Semitism, 
 and the model minority myth, in hopes of broadening the dialogue about 
 inclusion in the Jewish community and beyond.\n\nMORE EPISODES: watch

 LUNAR\n\nhttps://globaljews.org/videos/lunar/\n\nA project supported by 
 Be’chol Lashon, LUNAR aims to highlight the racial and cultural diversity 
 of the Jewish community by celebrating and making visible the experiences 
 of young adults (18-30) who exist at the intersection of Jewish and Asian 
 American in a short-form video series. The LUNAR team will be producing 
 eight videos: five 5-10 minute themed collective activities and discussion, 
 and three 30-minute long in-depth 
 interviews.\n______________________________________________________________\n
