Sunday, April 2nd at 6:00pm, view Trembling Before G-d an unprecedented feature documentary that shatters assumptions about faith, sexuality, and religious fundamentalism. Built around intimately-told personal stories of Hasidic and Orthodox Jews who are gay or lesbian, the film portrays a group of people who face a profound dilemma - how to reconcile their passionate love of Judaism and the Divine with the drastic Biblical prohibitions that forbid homosexuality. As the film unfolds, we meet a range of complex individuals - some hidden, some out - from the world's first openly gay Orthodox rabbi to closeted, married Hasidic gays and lesbians to those abandoned by religious families to Orthodox lesbian high-school sweethearts.

Co-sponsored by Hillel and QSU, this film will be shown at 6:00pm on Sunday in Chesapeake I of the University Union.

Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we are having our Alumni Phonathons and we need your help! If you are available on any of those evenings to make calls, it will be greatly appreciated. Calls are made from the Jewish Services Building on Park Heights Avenue from approximately 6:30 - 8:30pm. Dinner is provided for you, and there is the chance to win great prizes. Email me if you are available an of those nights.
