Keshet launched an ecommerce section of their website to sell copies of their acclaimed film Hineini: Coming Out in a Jewish High School and the companion Curriculum Resource Guide for Jewish Educators. Hineini is a documentary film produced by Keshet that chronicle’s one student's courageous fight to establish a Gay-Straight alliance at a Jewish high school in the Boston area and the transformative impact on her entire community. Since the ecommerce portion of the website was launched in late September 2008, Keshet has sold over 150 DVDs and 50 curriculum guides. Selling the DVDs and guides online has enabled Keshet to devote its limited resources to building and sustaining their education project. In the coming months, Keshet will begin a marketing campaign to get the film and curriculum into the hands of day school teachers, youth group leaders, summer camp counselors, rabbis, Hebrew school teachers, and libraries across the country. The film and curriculum can be purchased at www.hinieitheiflm.org/store.
Keshet’s Hineini Education Project - www.keshetonline.org - provides tools and resources to Jewish educators and community leaders to create safe and affirming Jewish institutions for GLBT youth.
