December's
Dilemma: The Creche, the Dreidel
and the Star
 |
|
December's
Dilemma: The Creche, the Dreidel and the Star (1997; 28 minutes) is a documentary
that examines contemporary interfaith issues associated with the holidays,
in particular, with Christmas and Chanukah. |
According to Michalczyk, December's Dilemma "offers a fresh view of
origins and spirit of the two rich traditions of Christmas and Chanukah.
At the same time," he continues, "it reveals the tensions of interfaith
marriage, controversies over public displays of religious symbols
and isolation during this season of light." This documentary features
interviews with leading Jewish and Catholic theologians, clergy, sociologists,
authors and teachers. The film is also comprised of traditional Christmas
and Chanukah music as well as archival footage and photographs.
