Join LILRC for a virtual screening of Fiddler on the Moon: Judaism in Space  (Ironbound Films), a half-hour documentary short, followed by a conversation with the director, Seth Kramer.

Praise for Fiddler on the Moon

“With a dose of humor, the documentary investigates how religion would adapt to spaceflight and environments where tradition-setting natural events like sunsets and moon phases become inaccessible. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astronauts Jeffrey Hoffman and Jessica Meir, and a quorum of rabbis and researchers grapple with the question: will Judaism survive in space?” 

PBS 

"'Fiddler on the Moon' won awards in 2025, including Best Documentary Short and Best Space Film at the Sci-On! Film Festival, and the Audience Award for Best Short Documentary at the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival. It balances emotional intensity, intellectual rigor, and spiritual inspiration as a celebration of Judaism’s flexibility.”
