Mini-Documentary on Jewish Identity in Jerusalem

In January 2008, BaMat MaBat, a Jerusalem based theater group for social change, performed, "Teudat Zehut" (meaning "Certification of Identification"), a collection of short plays written by the community. We interviewed pedestrians and collected their responses to a variety of questions on the topic.

This video is well edited to include the funniest and most insightful comments of those being interviewed. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of contradictory opinions, especially on the topic of homosexuality. But the presenter sounds as though she's reading from a page without understanding what she's talking about. That tone of voice belongs in a high-school gossip circle.

Is this the awesome neighbour from Srugim presenting?!?

@Alos21 cocker spaniels and golden retrievers and I rehab dogs for our vet clinic.

@SarahJ83 what are you breeding? poodles?

[SarahJ83]

@dvdtrr I breed dogs and the males will only do another male if they have been stimulated by a female in heat and have no outlet for the pressure (and even then they have to fight the other male to do it) or as dominance games, and then they don't really actually go all the way, they just go through some of the motions.

[dvdtrr]

[Rangieg]
