For the last 60 years, the term “Jewish boxer” has been an oxymoron. But Dmitriy Salita, a 25 year-old Russian immigrant is making history as a top professional boxer and a rigorously observant Jew. With a 29-0 record,
Salita – in the words of his African-American trainer-: “looks Russian, fights black, and prays Jewish”.
Dimitriy will introduce the documentary about his life, Orthodox Stance - a portrait of seemingly incompatible cultures and characters--boxing promoters, trainers
and Orthodox Rabbis--working together to support Dmitriy’s rare and remarkable devotion to both Orthodox Judaism and the pursuit of a professional boxing title. Dimitriy will speak about his experience and take your questions about his life and challenges.
At a time when religion increasingly divides and destroys, Dimitriy provides us a with a unique example of the positive effects of faith, tolerance and diversity.
Come meet Dimitriy and enjoy an inspiring and
heartwarming evening
