About the Event:
Explore the hidden world of Mea Shearim, the ultra-orthodox community in Jerusalem. Author and documentary filmmaker Tuvia Tenenbom grew up in that world. He was born into an ultra-Orthodox rabbinical family of Polish-Romanian descent, the documentary-maker broke away from that world at the age of 17 and joined the Israeli army.
