The Colleyville, Texas Synagogue Hostage Crisis

On the seemingly ordinary Saturday morning of January 15, 2022, a terrorist stormed Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville TX during a live-streamed service, taking a group of innocent worshippers hostage. The hostages endured a harrowing 11-hour ordeal that captured the world’s attention. Join the courageous Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and award-winning writer-director Dani Menkin to discuss this incident, as well as the gripping film “Colleyville” that they made about it using footage from the live stream and audio and video from security cameras in a rare view from inside the hostage situation.

The film, which explores the complexities of hate crimes and antisemitism, is a story of inspiration and resilience. The film will be made available for a limited advanced screening to those who register for the webinar. Please look for a separate email containing the viewing link to be sent a few days before the webinar. A 2-minute trailer can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/953006306
