Jumbled cut-outs animation whimsically describes a defining moment in modern Judaism, and explains how ultra-Orthodox Judaism came to be, in response to the eager reforms of Jewish intellectuals of the 19th century. Offering a fresh perspective on historical information, and using the actual medium and animation technique to visually convey the concept of the copy&paste extravaganza applied by the 19th century Jewish intellectuals.
