Rabbi Wolff: A Gentleman Before God

William Wolff is nearly 90 and perhaps the most unconventional rabbi in the world. As the State Rabbi of North-East Germany, he looks after the Jewish communities in Schwerin and Rostock, but lives in a bungalow outside of London. He leads a busy life – flying from Heathrow to Germany each week. Filmmaker Britta Wauer shows Wolff’s turbulent daily routine and looks at his eventful past: from fleeing Nazi Germany, to leaving his career as a political correspondent, to becoming a respected rabbi. A fascinating character, Wolff is a deeply religious man who, blessed with a tremendous joie de vivre, defies all conventions.
