A Film by Robert Raphael Goodman
(Israel, 2005, 30 Minutes, Color, English / Hebrew)

Everything is going great for the director: he inherited the benefits of New York Jews who turned their backs on their religious pasts and re-defined themselves in America.  But when his ex-pat Israeli hustler pal Shimon walks into the trendy Kabbalah Center in Beverly Hills one day and walks out newly-religious – with a one-way ticket to a yeshiva in Jerusalem in hand – the director’s world is turned upside down. Following Shimon to Israel, he moves through different spiritual and religious communities investigating and wondering if everyone – not just Shimon and Madonna – has lost his mind.
