Rabbi Wolff - A Gentleman Before God

סרטים
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 still lives in a bungalow near Henley-on-Thames. He leads a Jet-Set-Life – flying from Heathrow to Germany each week. Rabbi Willy Wolff won audiences' hearts in Britta Wauer's hit film, In Heaven, Underground, about the Weissensee Jewish cemetery in Berlin. Wauer’s new film shows Wolff’s turbulent daily routine and looks at his eventful past: from fleeing Nazi Germany with his family as a child, to leaving behind his London-based career as a political correspondent, to becoming a most respected rabbi. A fascinating character, Wolff is a deeply religious man who, blessed with a tremendous joie de vivre, defies all conventions.
