Shekinah Rising (also listed as Shekinah: The Intimate Life of Hasidic Women) is a Canadian documentary produced in 2013 which explores the women of the Montreal Hasidic community, centred in Outremont, Quebec and at a Chabad run seminary for young women.[2][3] The documentary covers the perspectives of the female students of a Chabad school in Montreal as well as religious views on women in that community. The film's director is Abbey Neidik and produced by DLI Productions.[4][1][5]
The filming of the documentary took four years to complete.[6] The film is described as an attempt to demonstrate how Hasidic women are not treated as "second-class citizens" in their community, and features Hasidic women pointing to customs that they would not agree to adhere to.[7] One scene captures the persistence of anti-Semitism in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and the Hasidic effort to respond with outreach efforts.[6] One of the main characters in the film is Rebbetzin Chanie Carlebach, mother of twelve children and director of the Chabad seminary in Ste-Agathe.[8]: 43
