The East Bay International Jewish Film Festival partners with OpenDor Media and the JNF for the online premiere screening of the award-winning film, "Sustainable Nation." The film follows three Israeli innovators who are doing their part to bring sustainable water solutions to an increasingly thirsty planet. Using solutions developed in water-poor Israel, they are working to change the status quo of a world in which one in ten people lacks access to safe drinking water. Tune in anytime from April 28th to May 2nd to watch this incredible film. This is a free online screening. Celebrate Israel@72 with us!

RRHC Board Member Christian Rousset is our site manager liaison and reports that the demolition phase began yesterday, April 28, See photos below!  We are excited to be getting a new roof on the farmhouse! Construction begins Tuesday, April 28. Preparations begin now. The site will be completely off limits to the public, so we ask you to please refrain from walking by or through the property for the next month until the project is finished. The site is already officially closed but many of us have enjoyed taking walks past the property for exercise during this difficult time. Now we must ask for your cooperation in avoiding this area completely for the safety of the public and construction crew, We look forward to everyone seeing a "new and improved" house next month as we move ahead with this phase of historically accurate renovation, Thank you!
