Outside the mainstream because of their race, spiritual practices, sexuality, gender and politics, young Jews build radical communities.
A celebration of diversity, Young Jewish and Left weaves queer culture, Jewish Arab history, secular Yiddishkiet, anti-racist analysis, and religious/spiritual traditions into multi-layered tapestry of Leftist politics. Personal experiences from many of today’s leading Jewish activists reframe the possibilities of Jewish identity.
“. . .Fascinating, exposing a Judaism deeply embedded with artistic creativity, solidarity activism,
queer performance, and radical alliance building.”
-Maxwell Schnurer, Professor of Communcation Humboldt State University
“I found [Young, Jewish, and Left]extremely inspiring and important and recommend it highly for
other non Jews engaged in activism and organizing. . . _e US left has always benefited from the
leadership of radical Jews, and this film continues that tradition.”
—Rahula Janowski, Heads Up Collective
"[Young, Jewish, and Left] is a remarkable safe space--a place where the pretense of singularity in
Jewish thought is shattered, and where Jews are free to be Jewish on their own terms."
-Davida Marion, _e Internationalist Magazine
