October 6 | 7:00–9:00 PM | Doors at 6:30PM | Location Shared Upon Registration Join the Barshop JCC and Jewish Federation of San Antonio in commemorating October 7th with a screening of the film "The Last Stand". The Last Stand became one of the most formative stories of October 7th. Dozens of terrorists stormed the Sderot Police Station, faced by only several police officers. Through monologues, videos and communication recordings, the story of the battle is retold in powerfully, up to the dramatic decision to destroy the building. Following the film there will be a debrief/discussion. More details coming soon. Please note: Registration is required and walk-ins will not be accepted. ID will be required and guests are subject to bag search.
