When a Tango dancer (Karina Smirnoff) asks Rabbi Yehuda (Jos Laniado) to enter a dance competition with her, there’s one big problem—due to his Orthodox beliefs, he’s not allowed to touch her! But since the prize money would save his school from bankruptcy and help her sick daughter, together they develop a plan to enter the competition without sacrificing his faith. Rabbi Yehuda enlists the support of a Catholic priest (Joe Bologna) and leaders of various other faiths who understand the burden the modern world can place on traditional religious beliefs. While also juggling the upcoming marriage of his brother (Claudio Laniado), dueling mothers-in-law (Renée Taylor, Lainie Kazan), and his questioning wife (Judi Beecher), the bonds of family and community are tested one dazzling dance step at a time in this lighthearted and comedic fable.

Release
Tango Shalom was distributed theatrically by Vision Films in the United States and Canada on September 3, 2021. Vision Films also picked up the film for worldwide distribution. The film received North American streaming approval on October 29, 2021.
Reception
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 71% based on 14 critics, with an average audience review rating of 8.5/10.
Bradley Gibson of Film Threat wrote "a family film both in front of the camera and behind it".
Tom Tugend of Jewish Journal wrote "Tango Shalom," which is populated by bearded Chassidim — not as caricatures or exotics, but as three-dimensional characters facing life’s dilemmas and joys."
The Interfaith Dialogue Movement has rallied behind “Tango Shalom”, which has been endorsed by the Palestinian Bishop of Jerusalem Munib Younan, Rabbi Yehuda Sarna, Association of British Muslims, International Council of Christians and Jews, Centre For Religion, Reconciliation and Peace, The Global Peace Initiative of Women, United Religions Initiative, Muslims For Progressive Values, The Peacemakers’ Circle Foundation, Jammu & Kashmir Policy Institute, Nobel Prize Nominee, Steve Killelea, and the Reverend Dr. Richard Sudsworth, Secretary for Inter Religious Affairs for the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Tango Shalom holds the rare distinction of being the first film in history to have its theatrical and VOD releases actively promoted by UNESCO on social media. The film was screened remotely at the prestigious 2021 Parliament of World Religions, the Dalai Lama and Jane Goodall in attendance. Catholic Archbishop Felix Anthony Machado, one of the film’s greatest supporters, who was appointed by the last three popes as the Holy See’s Chair for Inter-Religious Dialogue, said of “Tango Shalom” while sharing the dais with the filmmakers at the Parliament of World Religions, “Inter-religious dialogue does not mean ‘you become me and I become you’, but one remains who one is... Yet together we grow. And that is how the whole film unfolds and gives us such a beautiful experience.”
According to Gabriel Bologna, the director of the film, it's an "ethnic comedy". The film has been well received by former Soviet Union states, and was a recipient of numerous audience awards, such as in Morocco and India.
