“Smart and highly engaging.” (The Jewish News of Northern California)
In this fascinating, smart documentary we follow the confident and charismatic 34-year-old Chabad rabbi Chaim Bruk, who moves from Crown Heights to Montana to spread his brand of Judaism. As Bruk travels across “big sky” landscapes, looking to place a mezuzah on the doorpost of every Montana Jew, he’s met with everything from disbelief from the established liberal Jewish community to neo-Nazi threats. With insight and humor, The Rabbi Goes West explores the question of how people who seem to have nothing in common can engage openly on difficult subjects.
