Jews Now

Galia Oz (60 min 2010)

Wednesday May 11, 7pm

Maltz Museum, 2929 Richmond Road, Beachwood

Three men roam the world conflicted with their heritage, leaving behind a trail of hurt and anguish.

Dr. Hagai Dagan was born in a Kibbutz; a secular, atheist, Judaism scholar, he continues to conduct a complicated yet humorous conversation with G-d. Yehiam and Eran are two young men from religious homes, who turned their back on religion and are about to begin their military service. A Charismatic teacher named Dudu Palma teaches them that ideas can indeed change your life. Jews Now draws a broad Israel mosaic from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, from the Kdumim Settlement to the Kibbutzim in the North, but the heart of the film is the home - the relations between fathers and sons. For better or worse, Judaism is a family affair, a story of tradition and rebellion, a fight for your place in the world.

Come early and visit the Maltz Museum's permanent collection of special exhibition About the Right of Being Different: The Art of Diversity and Inclusion at Progressive. Museum admission applies.
