As the festive holiday of Succoth
approaches, big hearted Moshe Bellanga, a devoutly
religious man and a member of the Breslau Chasidim,
finds himself broke a self describes "lump
of sadness." Moshe doesn't have the
money to scrape together a Succah, a temporary dwelling
religious Jews stay in during the festival to commemorate
the time of Exodus; nor does he have the means to
purchase the four plant species, upon which devout
Jews are commanded to make blessings during the
holiday.
The most important species, the citron, is considered
a blessing for having male children. To further
his struggles, Moshe has been married to his wife,
Malli, for five years and they are still childless.
With financial struggles abound and mounting sadness
that their immediate family is not expanding, they
pray for help, and end up receiving an anonymous
gift of $1,000 from a local charity organization
they take it as a holiday miracle. Moshe quickly
uses the money to purchase a citron believed to
be the most perfect in all of Jerusalem, as well
as decorate a seemingly abandoned Succah. However,
instead of this money simply being a "miracle,"
it ultimately leads to the arrival of two suspect
strangers, with criminal pasts, appearing on their
doorstep. |
