Author / Director: The flying Rabbi, 4:30 min., for ZDF sonntags, February 2004. Production: Surridge Films
Irit Shillor studied physics and mathematics in Israel. At 30 she went to England as a teacher before becoming a Rabbi two years ago. Now she is in charge of four Jewish communities in Germany. She constantly travels between Hanover, Hameln, Bad Pyrmont and Gudesberg. Like many Jewish communities in Germany the Gudesberg community consists mostly or Jewish refugees from the former Soviet Union. Many of them, however, are not familiar with Judaism. It is only now that they learn about Jewish traditions. We visit Irit Shilor and a Shabbat service at the small Gudesberg.
