Just posted today: check out Zeek‘s interview with writer/director Tiffany Shlain.
Just watched it online… figured I’m not in LA, so I wasn’t going to be able to see it live. I have to give it credit, it’s well done, and made me laugh quite a few times. It’s not wholly accurate from any sort of “Orthodox” perspective, but it does give a great insite into “Cultural Judaism” and where a lot of people are coming from these days.
I’m just wondering when the breaking of the glass under the chupah became a message of our fragility and our rememberance of Aushwitz as opposed to a rememberance that even at the happy occation of a wedding we still have to be a bit sad because we lack a Temple in Jerusalem. I mean, we don’t sing Im Eskachaich after we break the glass for nothing…
This clears up a lot. I got a call from Rabbi Yonah about an hour ago, asking me (I’m in NY, remember) where “The Tribe” was playing. And I had no idea what he was talking about. Hope he found the theater–or maybe he’s still wandering around Hollywood Boulevard…
Sheesh! Go see it live if you can. These are good looking people, folks. They deserve to be seen in person and their work on a big screen not your little 15″ thing on the laptop.
Yeah, don’t forget that you can watch the whole thing online, check it out here. Werd up to my homies. And chodesh tov!
