I wanted to share an exciting project with you. As part of my semester studying Israel education (through Kesher Hadash, the Israel semester of the JTS education school), I made a documentary dealing with the challenges of egalitarian religious practice on Israeli army bases. It is based in my experiences staffing Gadna last year while I was a madricha for Nativ. I hope it gives you some food for thought as we move into Shavuot.
Chag Sameach!
