About the film

Based on the Rebbe’s first maamar, Bosi Lgani, this groundbreaking production combines stunning visuals with a live performance by a string quartet to tell a story about a three-hundred-year-old vision: to see this world as G-d sees it, as His garden.

Told from the viewpoint of a chassidic farmer holding on to his own patch of garden, the films tell a story of hope and perseverance even as time passes by.

Each of the seven short films focus on one element of Bosi Lgani’s vision and is followed by one of the Seven Rebbeim’s niggunim, arranged originally for this program for string quartet by Maestro Israel Edelson.
