The Kosher Complex (or How a Muffin Changed my Life) | Mendel Weintraub | TEDxBrandeisU

Brandeis student Mendel Weintraub explains how a muffin changed his life and sense of identity. Exploring his upbringing in a Modern Orthodox Jewish community, Weintraub discusses the hardships he has faced and the role that religion played. With an expected graduation date of December 2020, Mendel could not be more thrilled to be including a TEDx Talk in his semester's roster as he caps off his Brandeis career. A double major in Film and Creative Writing, Mendel has spent his nearly-four years at Brandeis developing his background in the fields, through screenwriting and making his own films. He is a proud former intern of Searchlight Pictures (formerly Fox), and was most recently selected as one of just 50 students worldwide to participate in 2021's Telluride Film Festival Student Symposium. Beyond his endeavors in film, Mendel is passionate about meditation, Judaism, reading (when he has the time), and being outdoors. He could not be more excited to share the story of how a muffin changed his life with the Brandeis community, and the general public. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
