A Mirror for the Sun

Tamar Ariel grew up in a religious home on a moshav in southern Israel. Encouraged to follow her dreams, she performed her two-year voluntary National Service and then joined the IDF Air Force, where she served as the first-ever female Orthodox Jewish combat navigator. In 2014, looking for new experiences after her military service, she traveled to Nepal and reached the peak of the Annapurna mountain range with a group of Israeli and international hikers, only to encounter an unexpected snow storm. Tamar and her companions then found themselves in a life-or-death struggle against the elements.

Tamar Ariel's mother, Anat Ariel, will be in attendance for this special screening event.
