A documentary comedy about a Hasidic Rabbi who attempts to unite 2000 Jewish people across Montana, the area of which is 14 times the size of Israel. Chaim Bruk is a 34-year-old passionary Chabad Hasidic Rabbi, who takes his mission very seriously. His goal is to visit the home of every Jew in Montana and place a Kosher mezuzah at every front door. Along this challenging and emotional journey, Chaim encounters followers and critics alike.
