ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS: a bat mitzvah story

Following one family as they prepare for their daughter's upcoming Bat Mitzvah, Abraham's Daughters explores the multiple dimensions of this life cycle ceremony as it is practiced and experienced in contemporary Jewish life.  

With attention to the often humorous and always complex family dynamics that emerge during Bat Mitzvah preparations, the documentary also delves into the larger issues surrounding this event for a family descended from Holocaust survivors.

Abraham's Daughters raises questions about the preservation of tradition, the modern-day practice of Judaism, and the meaning of identity for Jewish adolescents living in America.  While the film focuses on a Jewish rite of passage, the themes inherent to coming of age will be familiar to all.

Running Time: 35 minutes
