Throughout the 1930’s, an unimaginable evil tore through Europe, as Hitler’s Third Reich terrorised its way to domination. During these tumultuous times, a young Muslim woman living in Paris overcame her quiet nature and joined Winston Churchill’s covert operation to give the Allies a new chance at victory. This is her story.

Reggae music of the 70’s and 80’s was steeped in the Rastafarian take on Zionism and full of words from the Bible. This is an audio-visual-danceable exploration of Reggae’s way of expressing ideas that Jews share – a spiritual Jewish experience through the eyes of Rastafari. This year’s Limmud Reggae Zion is on the theme of prophecy.
