Description
This week Jenna speaks with her friend and filmmaker, Becky Tahel. Becky is the creator of the new and internationally acclaimed documentary, American Birthright.
When Becky's sister becomes engaged to a non-Jew, something is sparked within her. She decides to create a film exploring intermarriage, but along the way, she realizes that she needs to explore her own realtionship to Judaism. In doing so, we get to ride along with Becky as she speaks with many of the teachers who inspired Jenna's Jewish journey as well.
Becky and Jenna talk about the film, creating positive Jewish content, how their Jewish journeys have evolved, and so much more!
