Florida Premiere
Director: Lilly Rivlin, 2013, USA, 62 min.
Prolific writer, passionate activist, and dedicated scholar, Esther Broner indelibly shaped modern Jewish history, and yet, most people have never heard of her. In the mid-1970’s Broner created a radical new Haggadah. It shifted the focus onto women, transforming the traditional Passover service into a powerful reclamation of women’s stories, while maintaining Jewish culture and rituals. What followed in 1975 was the first feminist women’s Seder. Interviews include Gloria Steinem and Congresswoman Bella Abzug.
