Dressed in black suits and fedora hats, the Outback Rabbis embark on a journey filled with surprising and emotional encounters with Aussie outback characters and laced with Jewish wit, music and culture.
Leaving the comfort of Melbourne Jewish life, two Rabbis and their families are heading into the heart of Australia. They travel the country in a campervan emblazoned with their Jewish mission, rattling into remote Aussie towns in their search for Jews. The campervan is affectionately named the ‘Tank’ as these Rabbis see themselves as part of God’s Army.
The Rabbis are members of Chabad, an ultra-Orthodox sect of Chassidic Jews. CHABAD of RARA (Remote and Regional Australia) is an organisation devoted to travelling the country to search for and minister to Jews. The RARA mission is to reconnect Jews with Judaism and to ensure ‘No Jew gets left behind’. From lush islands and rainforest in North Queensland to Uluru and the Red Centre, the road trip travels to some of the most spectacular sights in Australia.
This colourful documentary is humorous and touching as it reveals the stories of men on a mission, Jews in unlikely places, and the broader community of rural and regional Australia.
