Boruch Perlowitz (born 1990 or 1991)[1] is an American Hasidic movie producer, rabbi and game show host known for his contributions to religious Jewish cinema.[2][3]
Career
[edit]Perlowitz released his first movie, The Edge, in 2017, an action thriller film. The plot, based on a book by Rabbi Nachman Seltzer, portrays a young man named Keith through his journey as a baal teshuva. Keith, a champion windsurfer who travels to Israel to compete in an international windsurfing competition, experiences a near-fatal accident and decides to make significant changes in his life. However, he soon finds himself confronted by a dark secret from his past that threatens to unravel his newfound resolve. Keith was played by Gav Hool and Perlowitz himself played a minor part in the film as Shalom, a hospital chaplain who guides Keith in his journey.[4]
Following the success of The Edge, which was seen as unprecedented in the Orthodox Jewish world, he released his second thriller movie The Skull Of A Genius, which is based on a true story involving the Maharal of Prague.[5] It also featured Gav Hool, as well as main actor Dov Lieb.
Perlowitz later released Desperate Measures in 2021.[6] It is set in Lakewood, New Jersey, and follows the story of Yanky Greenberg, a 15-year-old boy, who tries to saves his father's life. Yanky is played by Yosef Gininger, who also released a song and music video, titled I Need You Now, for the movie. This was followed by its sequel, 2 Desperate, in 2023.
His latest film, The Youngest Partisan, was released in 2024.[7][8][9] The plot is based on the true story of Romi Cohn, a young man during World War II who joins the partisans, as described in his book of the same name.[10] The film was his most expensive, produced at a cost of over $800,000. It features main actor Shmiel Dovid Stein as Romi.
Other works
[edit]Besides for his film producing, he also works as a rabbi[11][12] and a game show host.[13] He is also the founder of The Jewish Platform website.[14]
Personal life
[edit]Perlowitz lives with his wife and children in Howell, New Jersey.[15] He previously lived in Israel briefly after he got married[16] and attended The Jerusalem Kollel.[17]
