HESCHEL IN PARIS!!
We are happy to announce that a 15 minute excerpt from Praying With My Legs was on view in Paris at the Musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme.
The video, part of a major exhibition on the biblical lawgiver Moses, is comprised of two parts:
- Heschel's understanding of what Moses experienced at Mount Sinai;
- Heschel's alliance with Martin Luther King in the struggle for civil rights -- how each drew on the story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt as a resonant metaphor for that struggle.
The exhibition ran from October 4, 2015 through February 21, 2016.
There is a very nice write-up about the film in Tablet Magazine.
Grant!
Praying With My Legs producer Steve Brand was the recipient of an International Fellowship in Jewish Studies from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture for 2012-2013.
The purpose of the fellowship is "to assist well-qualified individuals in carrying out an independent scholarly, literary or art project, in a field of Jewish specialization, which makes a significant contribution to the understanding, preservation or transmission of Jewish culture."
