3.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Jewish Life Cycle (DVD)
disappointingly - this contains only 3 dramatizations on 3 significant events in a Jews life
the first story regards circumcision - but - in the end - there is no justification for it except that Jews are supposed to do it
the second story concerns bar/bat mitzvahs - but instead of explaining why - the story becomes a joust between communist atheism and religion - the script seems to leave out the part that explains religion's victory
the third story on death is very surprising in that it has almost nothing to do with judaism - it has to do reported "afterlife experiences" - or the "tunnel" - which other religions have readily adopted - but also has been explained away by science
there's no real insight into what makes judaism any different from other religions
the dramas were somewhat interesting in themselves - altho obviously filmed on a budget - with generally good no name actors - and a mix of accents - british - american - and others
