Excellent and fairly portrayed documentary by Marcia Jarmel
by RusDCSW2005-09-11
10/10

"Marcia Jarmel did a great job investigating and portraying the lives of two Jewish women in different paths in Judaism. Ruth, a Chabad Chassidic woman and Myriam, a Reconstructionist lesbian Rabbincal candidate. Marcia asks the right questions to elicit full, in depth answers to help the viewer understand the different angles from which the two women come. Although I was "Ruth" in the movie, and people (friends and community members) were concerned about the portrayal, I believe that Marcia was fair in her work. Great educational piece...."
