Being Jewish in 21st Century Australia

This programme provides a remarkable insight into the lives of practising Jewish teenagers and their families as they go about everyday life in modern Australia. Keren Black and Anton Boroda take viewers into their homes, their Synagogue and to various other places where their lives and faith are played out. It explores the meaning and importance of their faith and spirituality to them, including the significance of the Torah, important festivals and events such as Passover, Sukkoth, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Bat Mitzvah. Other elements of the Jewish faith are also examined including kosher foods, holy sites and in particular the significance of Jerusalem to Jewish people. It provides a rare opportunity for students to look into the lives of young people living out a faith that dates back thousands of years, in contemporary Australian society.
