Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik was arguably the most influential rabbi of the 20th Century and indisputably the intellectual leader of Modern Orthodox Judaism. This first major film portrayal features newly-found historic photographs and interviews with religious leaders and family who knew the famous rabbi from childhood to mentor. A stunning homage to the complicated legacy of this brilliant man of uncommon integrity. Narration by Tovah Feldshuh and Soloveitchik readings by Theodore Bikel.
