MORE ON THE FILM

Consisting of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic state, the world's fourth-most-populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority country. It is also, however, home to a small but committed number of Jews.

This new film examines some of the diverse "kehilot" that comprise one of the most isolated re-emerging Jewish communities in the world. Meet and hear the voices of Jews descended from many different Jewish diasporas, and who live in communities from Sumatra to Papua Indonesia. Each of their communities is unique, with its own history and culture, yet together they form a vibrant whole, creating a Judaism which is authentic, and at the same time uniquely Indonesian.

RABBI KUNIN

Rabbi David Kunin graduated from Brandeis University with a degree in Medieval History and then attended the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, where he was ordained as a Rabbi and received an MA in Judaic Studies.  He has served in communities on three continents, the Americas, Europe and Asia.


David is a strong believer in the importance of good and harmonious relations between people from diverse religious communities. Interfaith relations have therefore been a continuous mark of his rabbinate. He received the Alberta Centennial Medal in recognition of his community work.


David has also been working with the emerging Jewish Community of Indonesia for ten years. David is now the rabbi of Congregation Beth David in Saratoga, CA.
