Lesson 1 of 8·Faith and Film

Groundhog Day

Despite its comedic veneer, Groundhog Day has, in fact, long been recognized as a uniquely philosophically and spiritually rich film. As only he can, Rabbi Soloveichik will be comparing and contrasting the movie with Shakespeare's Macbeth, focusing on their approaches to time and the meaning of life.
