The Series
The Jewish Reconnection Project is a web video series that features dialogues between a group of Jews in New York and in Jerusalem. The ultimate aim of the series is to showcase the diverse individual perspectives that populate the global Jewish community and to encourage further conversations.
Each three to five minute episode of the series combines footage of a historic conversation held between Jews in New York and Jerusalem and documentary segments about the participants. The young adults in the videos (ages 19-26) were selected to portray a wide range of views and contrasting perspectives so that every member of the audience would find something to which he or she could relate. The Jewish Reconnection Project strives to help viewers understand the perspectives of those individuals with opposing views, in addition to perspectives that they share.
