| Summary: | In this contribution, I reflect on my experiences teaching the short film The Cohen’s
Wife (Eshet Kohen, Nava Nussan Heifetz, IL 2000, 23′) to critically analyze the constructedness
of media as well as of gender and religious identities, and their mutual,
complex relationships. I briefly present the context in which I teach with this film
and discuss my choice of it as a “teaching partner” and the pedagogical approaches
and tools I use to work with it in the classroom, before elaborating on some details
of what the film teaches my students. I conclude with some ideas for future changes
when teaching with The Cohen’s Wife, based on my experiences so far.
