Jews Who Fought Back – Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber in
“Defiance”, Reverchon B
The real life Bielski Brothers, played by Craig and Schreiber, argued incessantly

dilemmas through clips from the film, role-playing and learning about the
30,000 Jews who fought back against the Nazis as partisans while peacefully
arguing/discussing who was right.

Shuk Details
Why do some leaders succeed while others fail? Looking at Torah text and the
three figures of Moses, Miriam and Aaron, we will consider what makes each of
them a great leader at certain moments and less successful in others. Looking at
our own local chapters, we will study the qualities that each brings and what can
be gained from their different leadership styles.
Facilitator: Rabbi Brian Zimmerman, Union for Reform Judaism
