Venture Description
Emet Project memorializes that when Rabbi Emet Tauber entered hospice in December of 2018, his classmates and friends surrounded him, ensuring he was never alone. It was a radical experiment in community care. It was a cross disability, cross faith space. Emet’s community wanted to ensure the lessons learned from this endeavor were not lost or forgotten so Noah designed and conducted an oral history film project interviewing each person about their experience, what they learned, and how their skill sets influenced their involvement. The project was designed based on the ACT UP oral history project, and Crip Camp.
