"Teshuva (the Jewish concept of redemption) was put into to world because G-d knew that we would make mistakes. G-d created Teshuva as a way for us to find out way back." - Rabbi Mark Borovitz, author of "Holy Thief: A Con Man's Journey From Darkness to Light"

Jewish prisoners are the most hidden, isolated and ostracized segment of Jews in the United States.

RETURN (TESHUVA) tells the powerful stories of three generations of two American Jewish families, each with members who are or have been in prison.

MARTIN GROSSMAN film tells the powerful story of Martin Grossman, one of the family members in RETURN (TESHUVA), a Jew on death row. This is a short spin-off of the feature-length film.

We are seeking funds for editing and post production. We have filmed family members both inside and outside of three prisons, including death row and also filmed parents, siblings, aunts and cousins for over two years. Production is complete and we need your help to hire a great editor and bring these two powerful films to the finish line. You can help!! Kindly click the "Donate" button or "Help Support The Project" link for other ways to lend support." Project Is non-profit and every tax-deductible donation, large or small, moves us to completion. Feel free to e-mail director/producer, Rhonda Moskowitz, if you have questions or need more information. Your support is both needed and appreciated.

Philip & Dana's son, Elijah

Both of his parents were incarcerated during most of the 2nd year of his life

RETURN (TESHUVA) follows the struggles of Philip and Dana, two Oxycontin addicts and the parents of a beautiful young child, Elijah. It follows them on their respective journeys to redemption, which are filled with monumental obstacles. We have also filmed their family members, including Philip's cousin, Martin Grossman, on death row.

The filmmakers are immensely grateful to Philip, Dana and their parents and siblings and also to Martin, for opening up their lives to us during times of enormous difficulties.

MARTIN GROSSMAN FILM tells the fascinating story of Martin Grossman, a Jew who lived in profound isolation on death row for 26 years.
