A new documentary film asks ‘What makes a mensch?’
By CINDY SHER
Most of us go through life trying to act like a mensch–but what does that really mean? Jewish filmmaker Tiffany Shlain wants to know.
This summer, she’s putting a call out to people all over the world to grab their phones and upload a short video answering “What’s your definition of a mensch?” She plans to weave some of the responses as footage in her upcoming short film documentary called The Making of a Mensch , which Shlain is currently producing with her film studio Let It Ripple.
