DESCRIPTION:The screening of the film will be followed by Q&A discussion with the film 
 director Jason Sherman. Running time is 103 Minutes. English 
 subtitles.\n\n"My Tree" follows Jason Sherman's journey to find the tree 
 planted in honor of his bar mitzvah in 1976 in Israel. When he discovers
