Baal Shem Tov: Master of a Good Name (2014)
Treasures of wisdom often come from humble hearts. Follow the Baal Shem Tov on a journey through Eastern Europe during the 17th century as he changes the soured face of Judaism into a celebration of life. In this collection of vignettes from tales by the Baal Shem Tov, we visit poor Jewish families who find hope in their spirituality - not because of their religious acts, but because of their human kindness. This beautifully hand-crafted stop-motion feature brings these tales to families of all creeds to enjoy for the first time.
