Synopsis:
They Ain't Ready For Me is the story of Tamar Manasseh, the black rabbinical student who leads the fight against gun violence on the south side of Chicago. Tamar's identity and personality combine to make her a force to be reckoned with.
DJFF Film Review:
“Feel good movie about Jewish activism in south Chicago. Worth showing in this time of making a difference.”
~ Scott Robinson: Member, DJFF Film Selection Committee
“Timely and important. Tamar is such a compelling subject and this is a well-made documentary. Loved the way Tamar talks about how her Judaism informs her social justice work.”
~ Diane Waldman: Member, DJFF Film Selection Committee
“'When you see cracks, you go to work…that’s what do you [as a Jew].’ If we only show one film in the 2021 festival, it should be this. I was moved to tears and laughter throughout [by] this fierce, determined, generous leader whose tikkun olam in practice is saving her community, whose innate Jewish values and lessons from her rabbinic studies have moved her to action. Does so much for Black Jewish representation - we need these stories on screen so we can recognize and work to fix our Ashkenormative bias.”
