2. As per Webster’s Dictionary, a fold is an enclosure for sheep, or the sheep contained in it. Fold also refers to the members of a Church. To fold sheep means to contain them. To enfold means to wrap up or envelope.
As the word suggests, leaving any fold is a difficult undertaking and it is the subject of Eric Scott’s riveting documentary, Leaving the Fold, which premiered at the 2008 Montreal International World Film Festival.
The docu follows the lives of five Hasidic Jews in three different cities (Montreal, New York and Jerusalem), who no longer subscribe to the core values of Hasidic culture.
From the opening moments of the film, director Eric Scott goes to great pains to show that his film is not about his personal take on Hasidism, but rather the characters who have decided to leave the fold and pursue the secular option, which they believe is more compatible with their longings and ambitions.
As they turn their backs to the certainties of the past and endeavor to embrace the new that is fraught with all sorts of hazards, they rudely discover there is a price to pay, that on the other side of the fence the grass is only ‘somewhat’ greener, but green enough. The dissenters are both surprised and discomfited by the anger and ostracism from both family and community because they have not fully grasped the implications of their leaving, which is nothing less than a slash and burn criticism of the culture they have rejected.
