A new episode has been released on the Menora YouTube channel, which can rightly be called special and behind-the-scenes. Viewers are offered to look at the Menora project from an unexpected angle – through a frank conversation with the producer of the first Jewish reality show, Martina Makeeva.
In an interview, Martyna Makeeva shares the story of the birth of the idea of the show, in which Jewish tradition is organically combined with a modern format. She talks in detail about how the selection of participants took place, how the project team was formed, and what challenges the film crew faced during the work. Special attention is paid to the format of the show itself, where young Jews from all over the world dared to go through the path of immersion in Judaism, study of the Torah and the Jewish way of life, overcoming difficult trials on the way to the main prize.
The release allows you to find out what was left behind the scenes: how the filming went, which moments were the most difficult and which were the most inspiring, and also why in the end the project became not only a fascinating performance, but also an important spiritual experience for all its participants. The role of the project’s spiritual mentors – Rabbi Shmuel Kaminetsky and Rebbetzin Dina Stambler – is especially emphasized, who became the participants’ guides to the world of Jewish wisdom, about which it is said: “It is wider than the sea,” and which you can learn all your life.
In addition, the issue announced important news for everyone who dreams of becoming a part of this unique project: an open casting for the second season of the reality show “MENORA”. The organizers invite new participants to try their hand at it and go their own way in a format that combines challenges, knowledge and personal growth. The registration form for the casting is already available at the link, and everyone can apply and, perhaps, become the hero of the next season
The new episode will be interesting to everyone who followed the reality show “MENORA”, as well as to those who want to better understand how modern Jewish projects are born and what deep idea they carry. Watch the interview on the “Menora” channel and discover all the secrets of the show that only its creators previously knew about.
