Description: There are some Jews who believe that the Messiah has already returned. Although these Jews are considered occultists or apostates by many, Carol Harris-Shapiro - herself a rabbi - engages one community of Messianic Jews to see what their presence says about American Jewish identity, religious affiliation, and the emergence of hybrid faiths in a secular society.
