Our Lights, Camera, Social Action film series continues on Monday, February 22 at 6:45 pm with a screening of the 2000 movie X-Men.  This Social Action Committee-sponsored film series explores how Jewish themes play on screen as they forward the message of tikkun olam, healing the world. With clear Jewish characters and themes, X-Men sets the stage for a discussion on the pursuit of justice, equality and fairness in society.  All are invited.  Please bring a new box of Band-Aids for AFYA, an international public health organization that distributes supplies to those in need (www.AFYA.org).
