    An amazing and worthwhile movie!

    I don't know why this movie isn't available in Judaica stores anymore(or maybe it is but I've missed it) Every single frum Jew should see this movie - it carries such an important message that is often overlooked, and in an interesting and entertaining way.

    I think its a chiyuv for everyone to watch this, to at least know the importance, and how much you can change someones life.

The State of American Jewry

Intermarriage rates have risen from roughly 6% in 1950 to approximately 40%-50% in the year 2000 and are rising.

Of the approximately 6 million Jews in the United States, about 2 out of 3, either do not identify themselves Jewishly or maintain an affiliation with a synagogue

1 million, or 54% of all American Jewish children under the age of 18 are being raised as non-Jews or with no religion.

Only 36% of Jewish households light Shabbat Candles.

Of the population that consists of people who were born Jewish and are Jewish by choice, only 11% attend synagogue weekly.
