The Overlap Program Series

Discovering Common Ground Through Culture

Celebrate cultural diversity through comedy, music, art, literature and film as we bring together communities and creators from different backgrounds. The Overlap reminds us that the differences that divide us are far smaller than the common ground we share. This program is generously funded by the Sam Berman Charitable Foundation and presented in collaboration with the David Posnack JCC’s George Gottlieb Institute, and the Jewish Federation of Broward County.
