LEAP OF FAITH

The feature-length documentary, LEAP OF FAITH, is the first film to explore the phenomenon of religious conversion. The film takes an in-depth look at one of modern mans more dramatic and difficult spiritual journeys: a journey that moves the voyager to forsake the religion of parents, abandon the traditions of childhood and enter into a wholly new, often radically different system of belief and practice of worship. In LEAP OF FAITH we follow four families through their religious conversion from Gentile to Orthodox Jew. It is a decision that some will find courageous, others utterly absurd. We will witness a host of crises and triumphs and often surprising consequences. Seen from one perspective, our story is a story of ultimate devotion, from another ultimate betrayal.

The third time she showed up at his door, she showed up with a suitcase. It was February in Montreal.

It is bitterly cold in Montreal in winter and the snow can be very deep.

She said: Rabbi Greenglass either you let me in or I will sleep on your porch and I am sure I'll freeze do death. I will not go away from your door again.

He said: Come in, child. I have been hoping you would return.

This film is relatable because we are all in search of our personal meaning. “My Reincarnation” tells a moving story of an Italian born Tibetan reincarnated man named Yeshi. Documented for twenty years, Yeshi lives his life questioning the role he was born into, constantly wondering if it’s the righteous way is the right way. It’s interesting to see a man apart of such a strong religion and culture question his belonging. This review does a great job of detailing the film://trib . in/xatCph
