Praying with Lior

Praying with Lior is a documentary that follows a young boy with Down Syndrome and his family as he approaches Bar Mitzvah. Considered alternately a "spiritual genius" and a burden, Lior inspires his community with fervent devotion and compels them to reevaluate what they consider a "disability." A companion website for the film offers Jewish disability resources and a study guide to stimulate discussion.
