Can you recommend a DVD onJudaism?
May 24, 2010 8:41 PM   Subscribe

I am searching for a DVD on Jewish religion. I intend to show the DVD in a Protestant college to students who have little or no awareness of Judaism. Do you know of a good documentary from PBS, BBC, or History Channel, or another responsible source? I would be especially interested in a DVD that explained fundamentals of faith, practice and ritual, and ideally did so in a historical setting. Any ideas?

Why not ask a local rabbi?

The DVD set, Heritage - Civilization and the Jews is unfortunately unavailable from Amazon, but a library might have it.

I like the guest speaker idea, also.
