The Rabbi Goes West

USA 2019 | 78 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

The Rabbi Goes West is a complex portrait on one Chabad rabbi, 34-year-old Chaim Bruk, who moved from Brooklyn to unlikely Bozeman, Montana, to bring his brand of Judaism to the American West. Part of his Chabad mission is to place a mezuzah on the doorpost of every Montana Jew. As he travels across this landscape, Chaim confronts neo-Nazi threats and faces objections to his proselytizing from other Jews, both Reform and Conservative. Will Chaim succeed in his Chabad expansion, and at what cost?
