January 19, 2008

Jewish Journal: My Holywood Moment

August 2, 2007

by David Suissa It was your classic indie film set. Small crew. Cool Italian cameraman with a Fedora hat and the studied nonchalance of someone who’s been there before.

Jewish Journal: Voices of the Soul

August 23, 2001

by Julie Gruenbaum Fax In a basement aerobics studio in the Westside Jewish Community Center, four girls dance before a wall of mirrors, perfecting the nuances of their twirls and chassés.

These Frum Filmmakers Are Revolutionizing Orthodox Cinema

July 12, 2016
