THE IDEAL LIFE

The Story of Larry 'Reb Yisroel' Caroline, a"h, produced by his family to mark his shloshim.
__
Larry Caroline came of age in the height of the 60's counterculture milieu, quickly becoming a vocal part of the civil rights and anti-war movements. As a young assistant professor at the University of Texas, he called for a "revolution," which quickly resulted in headlines and losing his career.
After moving to Buffalo with his wife, Larry found himself drawn to a different counterculture, this one in the small Chabad House set up by Rabbi Nosson Gurary. Slowly but surely, Larry became lovingly known as 'Reb Yisroel," after his given Jewish name.
When they moved to Philadelphia, 'Reb Yisroel' took a position at Beth Jacob Schools where he soon became responsible for the school's shaky finances after the director's untimely passing. Despite these hardships and in opposition to a group of vocal parents, Larry insisted on accepting the children of Russian immigrants who couldn't afford to pay but would now have their first encounter with their heritage.
Years later, this film asks Larry to reflect on his choices and the consequences of the idealism that led him to make them.
