    Robert inspired many of us who find Film arts as much more than just good entertainment. I am a physician by my profession more than 30 years, and nowadays in parallel Film Art Student at Tel Aviv University. Inspired by people like Reiner, I am writing and filming projects that echo Jewish tradition in a complex identity torn world.
