A Life Apart: Hasidism and Others (Clip 5 of 5)

The fifth additional clip featured in the Hiding and Seeking website is also from filmmakers Oren Rudavsky and Menachem Daum's first film, the Emmy-nominated A Life Apart: Hasidism in America. Hasidim remain in neighborhoods where everyday interactions are often characterized by resentment and mutual suspicion. These tensions have led to political turf battles over the allocation of housing and public services. Hasidim are threatened by others who do not share their culture, including Jews whose interpretation of Judaism is different from their own.
