On
March 29, 2002, Ayat al-Akhras walked into a Jerusalem supermarket and
detonated a concealed bomb, killing herself, Rachel Levy and a security
guard.
The suicide bombing triggered attention because the two girls bore an
uncanny resemblance to each other: Both were attractive and intelligent with
long brown hair. They could have been mistaken for sisters. Newsweek
featured the two teen-age faces on a striking cover.
This is a look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the eyes of two
mothers who lost their daughters in a Jerusalem market in 2002 and then met
for an unforgettable conversation.
Amazing. Please come.
Special Guest Appearance May 16th at Commerce by

director of To Die in Jerusalem: Two girls, one Palestinian
and one Israeli: both deceased as a result of terrorism. Hilla Medalia joins
us to discuss her illuminating film.
