In The Name of The Father

In The Name of The Father

Mohorosh, an admired American Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi, establishes an extreme and segregated cult between Israel and Brooklyn.
Going from underage marriages to sexual assaults, through house burndowns to big money flowing into the Rabbi’s pockets. This corruption went on for decades, yet no one ever dared expose the painful truth.
When the Rabbi died, an ugly and violent inheritance war between the Rabbi’s son, Moishi, and the leaders of the community erupted. As a result of the fierce infighting, the vile truth of what had been going on in Yavniel and Brooklyn comes to the surface. This battle continues today and still, the victims pay the price.
