Intent on shaking up the ultimate “sacred cow” for Jews, Israeli director Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative – and at times irreverent – quest to answer the question, “What is anti-Semitism today?” Does it remain a dangerous and immediate threat? Or is it a scare tactic used by right-wing Zionists to discredit their critics? Speaking with an array of people from across the political spectrum (including the head of the Anti-Defamation League and its fiercest critic, author Norman Finkelstein) and traveling to places like Auschwitz (alongside Israeli school kids) and Brooklyn (to explore reports of violence against Jews), Shamir discovers the realities of anti-Semitism today. His findings are shocking, enlightening and – surprisingly – often wryly funny.

A look into the complex and contradictory personality of Yossef Nachmani, the man largely responsible for the first Zionist settlements in the Galilee. As director of the Jewish National Fund office in the Galilee, Nachmani acquired as much land from Arabs as possible to establish Jewish settlements upon it. The film focuses on events in Tiberius, Nachmani’s hometown, a mixed community where Arabs and Jews coexisted harmoniously. Nachmani left behind a fascinating series of diaries that shed new light upon events in the Galilee during those years. Through these diaries, the film examines the critical early years of Zionism and the beginning of the Jewish-Arab conflict from his unique perspective. This provocative historical documentary is sure to become a significant document in the ongoing debate about the basic foundation myth of Israel.

I would like to see some movies from the bible from the Jewish view.
There are none.
Even Fiddler on the Roof was clearly a depiction of the modern American view of those times ("tradition" was not at all the reason the Jews did what they did). And The Ten Commandments as well. It was almost a secular interpretation of the story, that’s how many mistakes they made in telling the story. It’s so far from the truth in so many areas.
Most ultra-orthodox Jews don’t believe in TV and movies. They think it’s a waste of time and a distraction from living life to the fullest, and that’s why you’re never going to see real orthodox Jews in any movie or show; it would all be just a costume. If there are any movies out there trying to show the Jewish perspective they would only be reform, and reform sort of reinvented Judaism to how they thought it fit with the times so you can’t exactly trust their outlook on things.
Hope this helped, sorry I couldn’t refer you to much stuff.

If you are talking about the midgets in the bank, they are goblins.
If you are talking about Dobby, they are called house-elves.
After 20 years of being adopted and raised in Israel, a group of young women go back to Brazil to find their biological parents.
There are not enough children for adoption in Israel. During the 80′s hope arose for those seeking to have a child – Brazil.
Approximately 3,000 Israeli families flew to the carnival country to adopt a child. German and Italian families were also part of this adoption wave. In the meantime, the children, now grown-up, are traveling to their land of origin to look for the woman who gave birth to them.
Filmmaker Nili Tal follows four young Israeli women on such a voyage.
This is a moving trip to a third-world country, where women have four or five children from several men and another one somewhere in a far away place. It is also a personal voyage into each of the protagonists’ life bringing up issues concerning us all.
