(Israel, 2005, 52 minutes, Documentary, Hebrew with English subtitles)
Directors: Dani Dotan, Dalia Mevorach
Thursday, October 11, 7:30 PM, Cedar Lee Theatre
This documentary offers a provocative look at how Zionism constructs and deconstructs Jewish identity. Young Jews of Ashkenazi (European) descent wrestle with how and why they reclaim or reject their cultural identity in a diverse Israeli society that is embracing Sepahrdic culture.
A discussion led by Siegal College faculty will follow the screening
