In a quiet corner of England , a former rabbi lives a remarkable life based on the ancient patriarchy of the Old Testament. Six years ago, God told the rabbi that he was to become a Hebrew king and take multiple wives. Now he raises horses, runs four secondhand furniture shops and lives with seven women who, while not legally his spouses, believe their union is sanctioned by God. Features a post-screening discussion entitled The Nature of Charismatic cantor Jack Mendelson is today’s heir to the great Eastern European cantorial tradition that fermented in postwar Brooklyn . With missionary zeal, Mendelson teaches a new generation of hazzanim (cantors) – both men and women - the art of liturgical music. A CANTOR’S TALE features commentary by Alan Dershowitz, Jackie Mason, and Metropolitan Opera tenor Ne il Shicoff. Klezmatics composer Frank London provides the original score.
