Faces of Israel is an exciting and interactive documentary intended for a wide audience, from shul-goers to university and high school students to unaffiliated members of the Jewish community. The film poses a series of questions on hot topics surrounding what it means to live in both a Jewish and democratic state. It answers these questions through interviews with Israelis ranging from openly gay secular university students to leaders in the Conservative movement to Ultra-Orthodox Jews, including exclusive footage with Israel’s Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi.

Faces of Israel has been called “powerful… mature… honest… sophisticated,” and “a must see.”

Faces of Israel is divided into 10 themed chapters, including:
-Israel as a Jewish State
-Role of the Israeli Chief Rabbinate
-Civil Unions in Israel
-Masorti and Reform Judaism in Israel
-Homosexuality and Same Sex Unions in Israel
…and more

Faces of Israel can be watched straight-through as a 1-hour and 15 minute documentary or viewed as individual themed chapters, depending on your audience needs. An institutional copy provides complete access to the ‘Educational Materials’ section of the website, which offers extensive background information, discussion questions, and links to additional resources.
