FAITH & FATE – THE MIRACLE OF ISRAEL
I have tears in my eyes. It is magnificent. The government of Israel and the Jewish Agency should buy one for every Diaspora Jew. Rating (5 Stars)
Judy Siegel-Itzkovich, The Jerusalem Post
I was absolutely mesmerized by it. The story had to be told. It should never be forgotten. Thank you! Kudos!! Bravo!!!
Mark Carp, uthor of “Abraham: The Last Jew, The Extraordinary Times of Ordinary People”.
It was extraordinary. You could not hear a peep in the audience. What a great job, an important job, to reveal historical truth for all time. Many of us were in tears.
Dr. Linda Field, Atlanta
Emotionally spellbinding. Our children and grandchildren must see it..

FAITH & FATE – A NEW BEGINNING
Last night I had the chance to view the new Faith & Fate film shown at the shul. Wow! The film is outstanding in its presentation of the history. It is both moving and informative, and the collection of images and film footage was riveting. I must tell you that even if this was not a shul event I would strongly encourage all of you to take the opportunity to see it. You will not regret it!
Rabbi Moshe Hauer, Bnai Jacob Shaarei Zion Congregation, Baltimore
An amazing visual presentation – the audience loved it! This documentary and the entire series is a gift to the Jewish people! Thank you! We are learning about our Jewish heritage in such a powerful and meaningful way.
Rabbi Nitzan Bergman, Director of the WOW Program
This film provides a wealth of background information into the roots of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the first 10 years of Israel’s existence, suburbanization of Jews in America and Stalin and the Jews. You cannot afford to miss seeing this film.
Neil Rauch, Baltimore
A New Beginning was researched and written with scholarly integrity and presented with empathy for the dynamics of this crucial decade in 20th century Jewish history. As with the other segments of Faith and Fate, it will be welcomed by both scholars and students.
Dr. Jeffrey Gurock, Professor of Modern Jewish History, Yeshiva University, New York
FAITH & FATE – THE SERIES
Spectacular Triumph. It seizes the attention of today’ ‘sound bite’ savvy audience. A superb combination of media and historians. Faith & Fate is vital in giving our children a sense of vision, an understanding of the present – and a head start for the future.
Professor Monty N. Penkower, Emeritus Professor of Modern Jewish History, Machon Lander Graduate School, Jerusalem
Beyond the historical details, the faces and personal stories of the Jews are imprinted on the hearts of viewers. Faith & Fate, whose multi-media series is due to cover the entire 20th century is a must for every Jewish and open-minded non-Jewish home. Rating (5 Stars))
Judy Siegel-Itzkovich, The Jerusalem Post
This series is destined to be one of the most important contributions to our understanding of 20th century Jewish history, and will be referenced for years to come.
Dr. A. Marvin, Baltimore
Faith & Fate’s curriculum is an excellent supplement to my Jewish history classes. It has the materials that Jewish history teachers always seem to find themselves scrambling for – primary sources, archival footage, maps, and more. The subjects are covered in a clear and concise manner. Nice job!
Beth Brown, Weber School, Atlanta
Faith & Fate is a unique and exciting series, bringing rich detail to the history of the Jews in the 20th century. It will be a wonderful tool for teachers and students seeking to learn about the Jewish people and find a connection to their own heritage. Congratulations on such an important endeavor.

RAMBAM – THE STORY OF MAIMONIDES
Thank you for the incredible “Rambam” premieres we held throughout South Africa. We have had overwhelmingly positive responses from around the country. I personally saw the film six times and I can’t get it off my mind and am constantly inspired by it. “No time to lose”. Continue with your incredible work.
Rabbi Lawrence Perez, Mizrachi South Africa
The Rambam film and children’s’ books, in Hebrew, are outstanding! We encourage you to have the Educators’ Guides, and all of Destiny’s educational materials, translated into Hebrew so we can hold seminars, for teachers to use Destiny’s programming, not only locally, but throughout Israel.
Rabbi Nosson Kohn, Belev Echad, Beit Shemesh Rural Communities, Israel
I will never think of the Rambam in the same way. He’s now a living breathing human being.
A prominent Rosh Yeshiva, Los Angeles
I never thought about all the tragedy in Rambam’s life. Seeing all he went through, well, it just makes me realize what a Gadol he was. I always knew it, but now I really know it.
Rosh Yeshiva’s wife, Los Angeles
RASHI – A LIGHT AFTER THE DARK AGES
Marvellous – for children & adults alike.
Boston Jewish Film Festival
We are very pleased to inform you that we screened “Rashi” several times in our auditorium before a varied public of children and adults. The responses were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the film very much. The film is undoubtedly enriching the educational activity of Beth Hatefutsoth which is one of the most important aims of the museum. We sincerely thank you.
Gila Cohen, Visual Documentation Center – Films, Beth Hatefutsoth, Museum of the Jewish Diaspora, Tel Aviv
A Wonderful film!
