PETS

SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILM
IN COLLABORATION WITH IDAN KATZ BRANDLER

SYNOPSIS

The visitors center at 'Ancient Shiloh' is home to five holy red heifers that are meant for a ceremony that hasn't occurred in the Jewish world since the time of The Second Temple (~2000 years). As no one is allowed to touch these special animals,  a special caretaker was needed, one who isn't under strict requirements to touch them. The man in question is Larry Borntrager, a 77 year old Amish farm kid from Indiana who ended up living under the 'Seven Mitzvot of Bnei Noah'. While claiming to not be perfect for the job, he enjoys being available for the this task that (as he claims) god gave him.
