The documentary film describes the process of creating the exhibition ‘A Tale of a Woman and a Robe’ and, by means of video-art segments, also integrates women’s voices on the issue from a personal, Jewish, historical and artistic point of view.

Each of the women attempt, in their own way, to give voice to the cry of the woman convert immersing before the dayanim, and to raise awareness vis-à-vis the ineligibility of women to serve as witnesses or rabbinic judges, both in this specific context and in Judaism in general.

As an artist and as a woman ineligible in the eyes of the halakha to bear witness, not to mention serve as a judge, I wish in this film to offer artistic and cinematic testimony that both exposes and examines the place of the woman in the conversion process – the one present at the ceremony and the one absent from it.
