Kaparot MOVIE POSTER
  • The generation gap: traditional parents whose children seek modernity and freedom.
  • The Kapparot ceremony and the Jerusalem rooftop apartment: each in their own way an expression of Jewish identity. What does one have to offer
    to the other?
  • Fathers and daughters: protectiveness, conflict, negotiation and affection.
  • Embracing independence: new lifestyle choices for Israeli single women from Sephardic families.
  • The Jewish year: the power behind a particular date on the Jewish calendar.
  • Traditional observance in our children – when should parents no longer be involved – or are they always involved?
