NEW DOCUMENTARY OFFERS WISDOM FOR TODAY’S "UNCERTAIN TIMES"

With our lives deeply shaken by this financial crisis, how do we step back, anchor ourselves and put current events into a contextual perspective? To guide us through the personal challenges we are facing, JInsider.com, the Jewish video website, has produced a documentary titled "A Traveler’s Guide to Uncertain Times." Featuring four brilliant spiritual leaders, the film draws on time-tested wisdom to provide a better foundation for overcoming the uncertainty, pessimism, hopelessness and material loss we are experiencing in today’s economic climate. It also highlights the importance and relevance of ancient spiritual wisdom, and its effectiveness for navigating personal challenges resulting from difficulties we now face.

The film premiered at a Town Hall Meeting, Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at the JCC in Manhattan. Following the screening, there was an open forum to discuss these issues with the renowned rabbis featured in the documentary: Irwin Kula, Joseph Telushkin, Benjamin Blech, and Jill Jacobs. Millions have read their books and seen them on TV, and for this event they moderated a discussion with the audience in a personal setting.

The film is airing on Shalom TV, check your local listings. Visit www.jinsider.com/films to learn more about the documentary.
