His stories resonate across generations, weaving together faith, humor, vulnerability, and timeless wisdom.This year, Rabbi Gold premieres his new Tisha B’av film, which centers on the mysterious fate of the Temple menorah. The film follows an unforgettable journey to uncover where the menorah might be hidden and why its discovery could change everything.
