> (North Adams, Massachusetts)  On Thursday, March 31, at 8pm in Club 
> B-10, MASS MoCA will screen the second documentary of an anticipated 
> trilogy by Oren Rudavsky and Menachem Daum, on the subject of 
> understanding their Jewish faith, Hiding and Seeking: Faith and 
> Tolerance After the Holocaust.  The film tells the story of a father 
> (Daum) trying to teach his adult Orthodox Jewish sons the dangers of 
> defending their faith and preaching about intolerance by traveling 
> with them to Poland to meet the family that hid their grandfather for 
> over two years during the Holocaust.  This very personal film shows 
> the journey of a man who tries to change the direction of his sons’ 
> thinking.  His goal is to reform their narrow-minded religious ideals 
> that seem to promote hatred, by opening their eyes to the kind of 
> compassion that is blind to religion, ethnicity, and sex. 
>
>  TV Guide said of Hiding and Seeking, “The film unfolds like an 
> adventure that's part road trip, part scavenger hunt and part 
> philosophical inquiry into the true meaning of faith, tolerance, and 
> gratitude that carries an important and timely warning: "Every 
> religion is in danger of being hijacked by extremists.”
>
> Following September 11th when the effect of religious intolerance was 
> made frighteningly clear, Menachem Daum found it imperative to discuss 
> the biased beliefs of the Orthodox Jewish community to which he 
> belonged.  After unsuccessful attempts to discuss these issues with 
> his community leaders, Daum tried to reach out to his sons living in 
> Israel.  The film documents Daum’s discussions with multiple 
> generations of Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem, Brooklyn, and 
> Poland. 
>
>  Held in Club B-10, MASS MoCA’s Cinema Lounge series focuses on timely 
> documentaries about social change in conjunction with MASS MoCA’s 
> exhibition The Interventionists: Art in the Social Sphere.  Doors open 
> at 7 pm for food and drink from Lickety Split before the screening. 
> Club B-10 features comfortable couches and café tables as well as a 
> full bar.
