"They Ain't Ready"... for Tamar Manasseh

October 4–7 saw Federation’s first installment of a Virtual Film Series with an online screening of the recently released documentary They Ain’t Ready for Me (2020, 89 mins). On Thursday evening, October 8, Carol Culberg moderated a talkback with the film’s subject, Chicago activist and rabbinical student Tamar Manasseh, along with filmmaker Brad Rothschild.

The talkback is available now to view on our VIrtual Programming page or on our YouTube channel.

Tamar exhibits a rare combination of the deeply spiritual and deeply practical, and it was a treat to get to know her. We look forward to collaborating with her in the future - and to witnessing her rabbinic ordination on December 12!

You can find out more about Tamar's work with MASK (Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings) at MASK's official website, www.ontheblock.org. To donate to their Thanksgiving meal program, visit their GoFundMe page.

Our 2020–2021 Virtual Film Series is generously sponsored by Carol Culberg. The series will include 4 more virtual film selections starting in January 2021. Watch for upcoming schedule information at federationonline.org/film.
