Jewish Sub-Identities:

Multiculturalism and Pluralism

Two films with Q & A. GOD AND ALLAH NEED TO TALK: In post-9/11 L.A., Muslims, Jews, and Christians "break the silence" between Isaac and Ishmael, in a mosque for an Ashura celebration, and in a synagogue for a Muslim/Jewish Passover seder. Witness the power of community outreach and interfaith dialogue. TODAY I AM A RABBI: Three women in their fifties are the first rabbinical graduates of the Los Angeles Academy for Jewish Religion, a transdenominational rabbinical and cantorial seminary. See an inspiring ode to Jewish women, and to women of every faith, who have longed to fulfill their life-long dream of becoming religious leaders.
