Documentary: OUT OF FAITH - August 18

“OUT OF FAITH”, a feature-length documentary will be shown at the Prairie State College Auditorium on Monday, August 18, 7:00 p.m.   The documentary follows three generations of the Welbel family as they are pulled apart by interfaith marriage.  We see the family as they struggle with complex and emotionally charged conflicts over intermarriage, familial duty, ethnic identity, and cultural continuity and survival.  The film raises universal questions of how to honor the past and one’s own ‘tribe’ while living in today’s multicultural society.

Rabbi Ellen Dreyfus and the film maker, L. Mark DeAngelis,  will be guest speakers. This showing is co-sponsored by the Anita M Stone JCC and Prairie State College.
