Presented by Jewish Voices for Peace Hudson Valley: "Join us for a screening of COEXISTENCE MY ASS! in Beacon, NY on August 29. Filmmaker Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging her audiences with hard truths that are no laughing matter."

BEACON BREAD COMPANY
193-195 Main Street, Beacon NY
ALBB tried the Strawberry Basil Bear's Fruit Probiotic Sparkling Water for you. The can had our mini-ALBB insist on buying it. We were warned that it was not sweet. Which made the Adult ALBB perk up and want it even more. Sure enough, this drink has no sweetner, and hits perfectly on a hot summer day. No upset tummy. Just probiotic refreshing. Stop into this bakery to get one from their new drink case.
