+ Recently Mary & I saw Praying with Lior. Don't miss this documentary. It's just as good as any feature film. If you are like me, you will need a box of tissues for tears of joy as well as pain. Check out the Spirituality & Practice Film Review. Excerpts:
"An emotionally rich documentary about the bar mitzvah of a spiritually vibrant 13-year-old boy with Down Syndrome."
"Your tears will flow freely in this emotionally rich documentary by Ilana Trachtman about the pivotal importance of this Jewish ritual in the life of a boy with Down Syndrome and the loving community that supports him every step of the way as he prepares for the day and the ritual."
+ I invite you to tune into a powerful and informative portion of yesterday's Democracy Now!
International Women’s Media Foundation Honors Israeli Journalist Amira Hass with 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award
Amira Hass is a regular columnist with Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper and the only Israeli journalist to have spent several years living in and reporting from Gaza and the West Bank. On Tuesday, Hass was awarded the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Women’s Media Foundation. CNN’s Christiane Amanpour described Hass as “one of the greatest truth-seekers of them all.” Hass joins us to talk about covering the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Goldstone report on the Israeli assault on Gaza, and the need to understand the issue in the context of military occupation.
