The event will begin with the screening of Breaking Bread, an inspiring documentary about Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel—the first Muslim Arab to win Israel's MasterChef—who is on a quest to make social change through food. After the screening Soupergirl co-founder, Sara Polon will moderate a discussion between Breaking Bread director Beth Elise Hawk and celebrity chef Gazala Halabi, who celebrates her Israeli Druze heritage through the cuisine at her two lauded NYC restaurants.

Following the post-screening discussion, join us for a Shuk featuring tasting from local Israeli and Arab restaurants as well as informational booths operated by non-profits and NGOs working to create an egalitarian shared society in Israel.
