The challenge of aging: Jewish ethnicity in later life (video and discussion) May 10, 2011

Speaker: Elizabeth Markson
Focusing on the work of psychologist Jack Saul, this video, shot in the greater Boston area highlights the role of ethnic heritage in later life. Drawing from group discussions at a senior center and individual histories, the video celebrates Jewish ethnicity and asserts that all Americans have an ethnic background. Post-film discussion will be led by Liz Markson who worked with Dr. Saul and the film maker.
