   [1]Jews in Dublin

     NEW YORK â In talking with Valerie Lapin Ganley, the director of a
     new film about the Jewish community in Ireland, one of the things
     that emerges is that Ganley learned as much about her subject while
     making the film as viewers do while seeing it.

     "I was raised in a Jewish family in Los Angeles," says Ganley,
     whose film, "Shalom Ireland," explores Jewish life in the country
     by focusing on three Irish-Jewish families, all from Dublin. But
     she gained an interest in Irish history and culture after meeting
     her husband, Michael, an Irish-American with "a deep love for his
     ancestral homeland."

   Wearing the official chain of office, Robert Briscoe, the first Jewish
   Lord Mayor of Dublin, visits New York City as seen in "Shalom
   Ireland," a documentary about Irelandâs remarkable, yet little known,
   Jewish community.
