Light hearted documentary about a man with a very deep vision and mission to improve community and world tolerance. Overall enjoyable. Unfortunately the documentary relies on cameos and actor name dropping to substantiate this mans long list of accomplishments which dims this Rabbi’s message. Editing was a bit choppy and for someone that new very little about the Rabbi, California, it’s politicians, and those from the movie industry the supporting character placement did not add to the Rabbis global message. Obviously Great Man with the right message. Documentary enjoyable but no homerun.
Schwarzenegger in-person at the premiere:“Rabbi called me up and asked me if I still believe in tolerance. I said yes. He also asked me if I still believe in free speech. I said of course. He said good, you’re giving one on May 12th at the LA Jewish Film Festival”
