Everyman: What Is a Jew?

on BBC One London

Every autumn, pilgrims arrive in thousands at a building in Brooklyn, New York. Members of a worldwide movement known as the Lubavitch Chabad, they come to ask advice and blessing from their leader, the 'Rebbe', whom some believe could be the Messiah. The Lubavitch are Hassidic Jews who preserve traditions and rituals which go back hundreds of years. Yet they also thrive in the modern world, active in local politics and influential in the politics of Israel. This Everyman film provides an insight into an extraordinary movement and the reasons for its power.
