More Than Chemistry:
The Romantic Choices of American Jews
By Sylvia Barack Fishman

More than Chemistry looks at love and romance in a Jewish context, examining the ways that social and cultural forces influence romantic choices. Demonstrating that "falling in love" can involve much "more than chemistry," the course helps viewers think in new ways about one of the central decisions of personal, and Jewish, life.
