Elissa and Robyn Project


Robyn Silver, Elissa Schooler

We are going to make a video/documentary using imovie. We will interview people from all religious Jewish backgrounds who practice different sects of Judaism. For example we will interview two different rabbis, orthodox students and reform students, and individuals who are connected to Judaism culturally instead of religiously.

Possible Questions:
How would you feel if Jerusalem was no longer part of the Jewish homeland?
Why is it part of who you are?
What does Jerusalem mean to Judaism?
How did you feel different about your religion after you visited Jerusalem?
Jerusalem has a lot of meaning to other religions too, how do you feel about sharing the city with this other religions?  
What if the Western Wall was part of Palestinian territory?


·      Depending on the person we will ask different questions or just let them elaborate on one or two questions. This way it will be more meaningful to the speaker and the video will showcase different peoples stories instead of the same question for each person.
·     
The interviews will be conducted in a way that  allows interviewees to go in their own direction- while we have some questions already written we will create more questions during the interview
·    
  Each person will have about 3-5 minutes of talking time for the video.
·      
We will use our imovie on the mac to create the video.
·      In between each person’s interview we will showcase some pictures of important aspects of Jerusalem that were talked about in the video and some pictures that relate to the individuals personally

1)   Rabbi Ben Burger or Rabbi Zalman
2)   Karen Cohen (Israeli living in the U.S.)
3)   Ilana Nurko
4)   Avi Hannano
5)   Nathan Meese
6)   Regan Siegal (someone that has changed their lifestyle and now is an orthodox Jew)
