That's what this year's 45th annual Philadelphia Jewish Film and Media Festival wants to help figure out. This year's festival puts an emphasis on the tension between the Orthodox Jewish community and the secular culture, and contributor Lisa Grunberger spoke with the festival's new program director on how the selection offers perspectives around holding on traditions and assimilating into the secular world.
We've also got this week's roundup, which features some new exhibitions and screenings that are certainly worth checking out. We've also got more classical music lined up for you this month as we inch closer to the holiday.
Be good, Philly!
