כּמו לב שעובד Like a Beating Heart

Hebrew with Subtitles

Every Rosh Hashanah, thousands of Israeli men leave their families and depart to a drab city in the center of Ukraine to spend the holiday near the grave of the great Hassidic master Rebbe Nachman. This heartfelt documentary follows Yair Agmon's journey to participate in this annual pilgrimage and give thanks to Rebbe Nachman for the personal redemption Yair was granted in the dark days after he and his wife endured a still-birth. But this journey, which was supposed to lift Yair’s spirits and warm his heart, takes an unexpected turn. "Like a Beating Heart” is a film about the ability to transform disappointments and failures into comfort - in the most unlikely of places.
