1172.0. "Videos on Jewish Life Needed" by OAXCEL::MASON (The law of KARMA hasn't been repealed) Tue Feb 18 1992 17:36

    I lead a Core Group, and we will be exploring Jewish issues for the
    next two-three months.  As a Jew, I can represent myself, and my own
    experiences, but I was hoping to share a broader spectrum than that of
    a "nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn" who attended a Reform Temple from
    ages 5 - 21.
    
    Does anyone know of, or have some videos on Jewish issues?  In
    particular, I'm looking for one I saw about 6 months ago about Jewish
    women - I believe it's called "Half the Kingdom" -  it featured 8
    different women who were involved in various aspects of Jewish life,
    including a woman Rabbi from Sharon.
    
    I'd settle for any good video, but I'd particularly like that one.
    Right now, I'd rather not focus on the Holocaust (I have Shoa on tape),
    but put an emphasis on modern Jewish life in the U.S. Videos on
    stereotypes, or history would be fine too.
    
    Any pointers, offers of loans, etc. would be much appreciated.
    
    I work in PKO and live in Maynard, but would be happy to travel to pick
    up a video and return it.
    
    You can reach me at DTN 223-4835/ OAXCEL::MASON / MASON @ PKO, and of
    course, through this notesfile.
    
    Thanks! ****andrea****

1172.1Clarification...OAXCEL::MASONThe law of KARMA hasn't been repealedTue Feb 18 1992 20:3912
    Just to clarify:
    
    This is a group of Digital Employees who have been meeting for 1 1/2
    years.  We have discussed a variety of issues, and now wish to discuss
    Jewish issues. Only two of our members are Jewish.  
    
    We've found that videos on the topics we're discussing help to focus
    the discussion as well as give a perspective beyond the experiences of
    the people in the room.

1172.2seeking video suggestionsTNPUBS::STEINHARTTue Feb 18 1992 22:1918
    If anyone wishes to post names and sources of videos that may be
    appropriate for use in Jewish Value of Diversity educational seminars,
    that would be very welcome here.  Such seminars are typically open to
    the Digital public.  For example, the Black constituency group at LKG
    showed several videos of and about Martin Luther King on MLK day.  
    
    Some ideas, maybe these exist?
    
       - The effect of the Holocaust on the baby boom generation
       - Diversity within the Jewish community
       - The roles of women
       - Intro to Jewish history
       - History of Jews in America
       - Other?  
    
    Thanks for any suggestions and sources!
