The financial problems of a Jewish Community Center, in a small neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires, are a nightmare for young Rabbi Aaron. Neither his industriousness nor optimism seem enough to repay the longstanding debt he owes. Threatened with the shutdown of his beloved Community Centre, Rabbi Aaron embarks on a humorous and heartwarming journey to the Far East to attract donations. The charismatic Fabian Rosenthal is compelling as the Chaplinesque Rabbi on a transformational quest in Taiwan. A delightful dramatic comedy!

Nicolas Rapold New York Times Rosenthal’s balky presence and Tejblum’s indifferent direction together ward off a sense of urgency or deep engagement. Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies It’s obvious why “Shalom Taiwan” would work on the Jewish film festival circuit, where the novelty of both its origin and premise would make it stand out. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 6, 2022 Full Review Gaspar Zimerman Clarín This bittersweet comedy has no foundations to support it and ends up being an insipid moral fable. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Diego Batlle La Nación (Argentina) The affective and sentimental implications lead to an ending that feels right, but also more conventional and less stimulating than what Shalom Taiwan promised to be.
