The Heritage of Judaism


THE MEANINGS OF JUDAISM

In times of political and social stress as well as during periods of ease, Jews have found it necessary to reevaluate their religious priorities in relation to the cultures around them. Whether through the instigation of a Catholic Church intent on exposing the fallacies of Judaism or out of an urgency to understand the requirements of Judaism within the context of the Civil Rights movement, Jews have struggled to interpret and reinterpret the traditions that give meaning to their lives as Jews. The films in this series offer four readings of Jewish heritage. None excludes the others, but each is an outgrowth of the background and personality of its interpreter.
