Praying With Lior

This is both a documentary feature film and an outreach/educational program. The film introduces Lior Liebling, a thirteen year old boy with an extraordinary spirituality, who also has Down syndrome. The exuberance and intensity of Lior's praying has earned him a following among three Jewish synagogues in Philadelphia, where he has been called "spiritual genius," "davening master," and "little rebbe." Synagogue-goers testify that praying with Lior helps them feel closer to G-d. Six years after Lior's mother, a beloved Reconstructionist rabbi, died of breast cancer, Lior is being called to the torah to become Bar Mitzvah.
