All of The Above- Single, Clergy, Mother

$25.00$165.00

Many female rabbis and cantors in the Reform, Reconstructionist and Conservative movements of Judaism face an interesting quandary.  On one hand, “Be fruitful & multiply” is the Torah’s first commandment followed later by “For you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Imagine the dilemma if you wish to be fruitful and holy, but you’re female, a rabbi or cantor…who is single.

Description

All of the Above: Single, Clergy, Mother, a one-hour documentary highlights the stories of four single, female rabbis/cantors who attempt to adopt children or undergo procedures in the hope of creating a family of their own.  A revealing new film, it explores the choices demanded of Jewish women and the often competing desires of motherhood and faith.

More than simply a niche film about the confluence of circumstances for four specific Jewish women, All of the Above is a larger rumination on both what it means to be a Jewish-American woman today who wants to “have it all,” (spiritually, professionally and emotionally), and an object lesson for Jewish girls on the rightness and humanity of such a desire.
