At an event held in honor of the Jewish holiday Tisha B’Av, BMH-BJ Congregation will host a screening of the Israeli film “Legend of Destruction.”

Winner of four 2021 Ophir Awards (Israeli Academy Awards), the film by Gidi Dar details events surrounding the fall of the Second Temple in 70 CE, a pivotal event in Jewish history. 

The film, set during Roman rule, portrays a society plagued by social inequalities, corruption and injustice, and where a fervent cry for freedom, justice, and equality swept throughout the Holy Land. The film explores themes of greed, exploitation, corruption, political hubris and religious fanaticism.

The free screening will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. Aug. 13.
