Who Are The Marcuses? A free film screening at Har Shalom Presented by Americans For Ben-Gurion University and Co-Sponsored by Shaare Torah

September 11 @ 7:45 pm - 10:00 pm

Join A4BGU’s Washington, D.C. Chapter for a special screening of “Who Are The Marcuses?” in partnership with Congregation Har Shalom. “Who Are The Marcuses?” uncovers a mysterious Long Island couple whose half-a-billion-dollar gift inspires peace and climate action through water technology in Israel. Holocaust survivors Lottie and Howard Marcus, an unassuming couple who first settled in Great Neck, New York, and retired to a modest two-bedroom apartment in San Diego, California, bequeathed a half-billion dollars to Ben Gurion University in 2016 – the largest single charitable donation in Israel’s history. An amazing story of how two “ordinary” people made an extraordinary impact. This screening will feature a talkback with the film’s Executive Producer, Marc Bennett.
