Adventures of a Chief Rabbi: Jewish explorations of a small South American country

Technologist Ben-Tzion Spitz is suddenly pulled from his life in the financial and technology world of Israel and thrust into the Chief Rabbinate of Uruguay.
Join Rabbi Spitz, his wife Tamara, and their kids on a unique and unexpected adventure. Rabbi Spitz learns the ropes of this high-profile role, leading the religious life of the Jewish community of Uruguay, while discovering the people, the customs, and the culture of this remote country.
Based in Montevideo, the capital of this quiet corner of the world, Rabbi Spitz becomes the rabbinic authority for a host of Jewish functions, including certifying people as Jewish, kosher supervision, divorce, burial and much more. Hear the firsthand account of some of the highs and lows of being the Rabbi of such a diverse community. Feel the joy of friendship, of community, of celebration and of a good asado. Understand the pain of tragedy, death and even murder. Learn and be captivated by how Rabbi Spitz navigates some of the communal and social challenges that affect a Chief Rabbi of a small South American country.
