SUMMARY:Sderot Media Center Presenting an Intimate Glimpse of Southern
  Israel’s Unpublicized Reality
DESCRIPTION:As part of an international media tour, Jacob Shrybman, As
 sistant Director for Sderot Media Center in Sderot, Israel will be vis
 iting Portland to provide a rare glimpse of the Israeli experience alo
 ng the Gaza border.  According to PASCA President, Tamar Boussi, “Sd
 erot Media Center (SMC) is the only organization on the ground in the 
 western Negev that represents the human story of the rocket reality th
 at now, over one million Israelis face. And currently, there is not a 
 more perfect example of the human tale to be told there, than that of 
 SMC’s Community Treatment Theater.”  The Community Treatment Theat
 er is a therapy project funded and facilitated by SMC and located in t
 he heart of Sderot. The program is exclusively for the benefit of youn
 g women attending high school there, who have endured over eight years
  of rocket fire from Gaza. As a form of recognition, rehabilitation an
 d resolution, these teens spend ten months writing, rehearsing and fin
 ally performing their interwoven stories before a live audience.  “A
 s seen during the recent Operation Cast Lead,” explains Shrybman, �
 �the war for Israel’s sovereignty is not being fought in tanks and t
 unnels, but rather, in newsrooms, newspapers and web sites around the 
 world. Our goal with the Community Treatment Theater is twofold: give 
 these amazing children the opportunity to peacefully retaliate by maki
 ng their untold stories heard, find strength in their courage to share
  them, and hopefully attract the recognition of the Israeli and intern
 ational public. Ultimately, with enough exposure to diverse audiences 
 and increased media coverage, this theater program will impact public 
 opinion not only on the Israel-Gaza conflict but also on how the world
  views the broader Arab-Israeli conflict.”  CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE T
 REATMENT THEATER PROGRAM:\n\nFor more information visit http://portlan
