In the new documentary, filmmaker Phil Schneider provides a compelling and insightful comprehensive look into Weiss' extraordinary life, and how, as a result of his crusading activism and "speaking truth to power," he has inspired others to "show up, stand up, and speak up" in times of crisis. RIGHTEOUS REBEL also explores the softer side of Rabbi Weiss and his relentless commitment to create an environment of inclusion for his community (known as "the bayit (i.e. home)" where all are treated with equal respect and dignity.

From the Auschwitz death camp -- to the Vatican - to Moscow's Red Square — all told through a combination of archival footage and newly-conducted interviews, RIGHTEOUS REBEL follows the Rabbi's journey of protest against Holocaust Revisionism and to free Soviet Jews.  The documentary also covers Weiss' controversial involvement in the Crown Heights Riots of 1991, as well as his equally provocative recent endorsement of "open-Orthodoxy" and the expanded roles of women in the Modern Orthodox Jewish community.

RIGHTEOUS REBEL is as much a celebration of Rabbi Weiss' accomplishments, as it is an inspirational call to immediate action to
fight inequity taking place anywhere.  As Weiss, himself says when quoting the legendary Jewish leader, Hillel,  "If Not Now, When?"
