BK is a community sponsor of this film, and Lior has a very special BK connection. His father, Rabbi Mordechai Liebling, was our Religious School principal many years ago, and later served for 14 years as Executive Director of the JRF. "Winner of Audience Awards for Best Documentary, Praying with Lior asks whether someone with Down syndrome can be a 'spiritual genius.' Many consider Lior close to God–though he’s also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration and an embarrassment, depending on who is asked and when. As this moving and entertaining documentary moves to its climax, Lior must pass through the gateway to manhood--his Bar Mitzvah." Watch the trailer at http://www.jrf.org/praying-with-lior-philly.
