Gut Shabbos Vietnam
Chabad shluchim are for life. Or until the Messiah comes
In Chabad, the shlucim (emissaries, representatives) are in a mission for a lifetime. This documentary is about a young couple, which are not only sent for lifetime, but in a totally different country, to which they have no family or any other connection. Not to its culture, neither to it history or language.
Menachem and Racheli are sent to Vietnam, to be Chabad shluchim.
The film accompanies them in the most sensitive period: their arrival and their absorption. During this period, they encounter everything from hunger to a cold welcoming and indifference from their surroundings.
Years had passed since the production of the film. The Chabad community in Vietnam is flourishing. Menachem and Racheli are still there -:) As said, it's a mission for life.
