In memory of filmmaker Yahav Winner, who was killed on October 7 protecting his wife and young child, Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan is holding an evening honoring Yahav’s life and work in Kibbutz Aza through film and conversation.

The event will feature a screening of Yahav’s short film The Boy, which powerfully captures the experience of living on a kibbutz on the border of Gaza, a recorded interview with his grandfather, a Holocaust survivor living in Ashkelon, and testimony of Yahav’s wife Shaylee which is part of a new project to capture testimonies of those impacted by the October 7 attack.

Following the screening, there will be a live video conversation with members of Yahav’s family in Israel.
