‘Guns & Moses’ Takes Chabad To Cinema In New Movie Thriller With A Shliach As The Main Character
These Hollywood Jews take “movie shoot” to a whole new level.
“Guns & Moses,” an indie thriller out this month about a gunslinging Hasidic rabbi who hunts down a killer, is set in a world hostile to Jews that’s disturbingly like our own.
Rabbi Mo Zaltzman, a fictional Chabad rabbi who runs a synagogue in the High Desert of Southern California, goes from clergyman to triggerman when one of his flock is murdered.

Why in Heaven’s Name are you promoting this?! It has literally nothing to do with anything Chabad, or Jewish for that matter. Guaranteed it will promote giluy aroyos and shfichas damim, at the very least.

Guns & Moses, the film I directed, is kosher. I’m a frum yid in Hancock Park, LA. The main character, Rabbi Mo, is a shliach and we wrote him based on the many shluchim in our lives. I daven every day that this film should be a kiddush H’ and I invite you to withhold judgement about what the film is or isn’t until you’ve seen it.

Having lived in LA and met Sal many times, I can genuinely say he’s an ehlicher Yid with exceptional Middos. He’s deeply aware of today’s challenges in film and is committed to creating content that uplifts and makes a Kiddush Hashem. I have full confidence this project will reflect his values and integrity.

Why I’m not surprised.? Because all the publicity that lubabs seek, a movie is just one short step away. Would that bring the Mashiach? No way, Josey. But it might more money for the rich Lubabs

My dear bro, where in heavens earth do you get such preposterous ideas from??
Old Timer
Chilul Hashem. Chilul Moshe Rabaynu. Chilul Shaym Chabad-Lubavitch. !!!
Aguch-and powers of the name chabad-Lubavitch should not let the work of The Rebbe be misused in this manner.
Hopefully something will be done about this post haste.

Are people making such comments even after reading Sal’s post? Is it not all of the above to interfere with a brother’s parnassah?
Not good
You whet the appetite by making a good kosher movie. And what are people going to watch next week?
You took something treif (going to see a movie in a cinema) and made it kosher, or tried to make it kosher.
Why are you dragging Chabad into the garbage pile of secular entertainment?

Making Muslims to be villains in this movie instead of Nazis would be more realistic in today’s climate. Besides nothing good comes out of Hollywood.

Will you also recommend to your readers many other Jewish-oriented movies like Fiddler on the Roof, The Ten Commandments, Shtisel, Ben Hur, Ushpizin and many other fantastic Jewish-oriented movies?
