In their long history of dispersion, Jews have maintained a creative dynamic with the social and cultural currents of their various diasporas while staying true to the fundamental ideals of their heritage. The challenge to involved Jews always has been to find a balance between ancient and contemporary principles--not that everyone ever agrees on what that balance should be. These films all look at the effects of time, culture, social climate, and secular values on the rituals of Judaism; all feature women at their centers. Each film is concerned with the idea of a living faith--how to make ritual responsive to those who practice it while preserving its integrity. All the films will stimulate viewers to explore the tension and creativity of a Judaism anchored in the past and moving into the future.
