The 12 half-hour programs in this educational and entertaining documentary series examine and analyse the current challenges and choices facing Jews and the tradition and ideas of Judaism at the start of a new millennium. The series explores the paradox of modern Jewish life. The attempt to break free from ancient codes and creeds has given modern Jews a sense of possibility and variety, but has also left the community profoundly confused as to the nature of its identity. Traditional religious guidelines – rigorous and even binding – provided certainty, meaning and a sense of belonging.

The issues raised in this series will be of great interest not only to Jews, but to spiritual seekers of all faiths and to anyone questing for a deeper sense of meaning in the modern context. The programs reveal the beauty and power of Judaism, and also capture some of the profound tensions that confront Jews today.
