Shimon.

Yosef.

Go Yosef! Yosef! Yosef!

May.

May, get over here!

Yacov.

Go Yacov! Yacov! Yacov!

Ben-El. -Ben-El, get over here.

Aliza, count to ten.

Let's go cops, rip them apart.

Aliza, you didn't count to ten!

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Time out! Time out!

I said time out!

Open, you shithead!

Not fair! He said time out, you twat!

I'm not playing anymore. I'm going home.

Encirclements

Did you play outside?

What did you play?

Cops and robbers.

What were you?

A cop.

Did you drink?

Yes. Where's Dad?

It's so hot outside.

If you don't drink,
you'll dehydrate.

Is he in the shack?

He's doing a job for Vaknin.

Go bring him something to eat.

The Hebrew month of Tishrei
is the month of creation,

though the Torah says
it is actually the month of Nissan.

Say it with more passion!

The month of Tishrei is also called
the month of the Brave.

As in the verse...

As in the verse...

which verse?

"And all the men of Israel assembled
themselves unto King Solomon

"in the month of the Brave,
which is the seventh month."

Why did you tell me?
I would've remembered. -Yeah, right.

Aliza, what's your problem?
- "Aliza, what's your problem?"

Mom, Aliza's bugging me.
- "Mom, Aliza's bugging me."

Aliza, help me set the table.

Why me? Meir can set it.

Meir's practicing.

You heard what Mom said, now bug off.

Meir, I'm warning you.

Go on, go wash the dishes.

Sweetie, come on, leave them alone.

I don't feel like it.

Where are you going?

We're about to sit down and eat.

I'm not hungry.

Are you following me?

I thought I might come here
to eat lunch.

Here? But this is my spot.

It's quiet here.

Your house not quiet enough for you?

Your house is like a cemetery.

Not always.

You're lucky
you have your own room.

You gonna stay here all day?

Want some?

Didn't you hear what I said?

Mom, I don't like the chicken skin.

Give it to me, I like it on my bread.

Go easy with that skin.

A 10 year old with cholesterol levels
of an old lady.

You looking for Dad, sweetheart? -Yes.

He's in the toilet.

You stuff all kinds of junk down there,
that's why it clogs up.

Look.
I won't keep fixing it for free, Moshe.

Shame on you.

Shame on me?

This is my livelihood,
I gotta get paid for my work.

Fine, just fix it first.

Okay. Here, Aaron will help me, we'll...

I'm warning you, Ninio.

Motherfucker. Fuckin' dog.

How are you? -Fine.

Did Mom send that for me?

That's it?

Look! She didn't even put in any meat,

she eats it all by herself.

She wants me dead.

I spilled some on the way.
- You're lying to your father?

I'm not lying.
- Ok, right.

Go get me the thin pipe,
let's see what's stuck in there.

Where's Aliza?
- They had another fight.

So she'll go hungry again?

She started it.

Ok, but now you're here eating

and where is she?

How are you, Ninio?
- Shit on my face.

Good luck tomorrow, Aaron. -Thank you.

What's tomorrow?

They pick the kid who gets the round
of honor in the encirclements.

Those people?
They won't give you anything.

They barely let you make a living.

They complain, don't pay,
tell you stories,

you hear me?

They're all scum.

Amram's house flooded.

His son asked me to come.

Shit on my face.

You want to stay, stay.

I have to go.

Want me to come with you?

No, no,

it's late.

Don't let him get to you.

Ninio, get rid of the cigarette.

And I feel like smoking now, ok?

People are looking, it's Sabbath...

Let them look, I shit on them all.

But why outside the synagogue?

Who asked you?

Ninio, people are looking.

They can go to hell.

Why are you glued to your mother, huh?
Don't you have anything better to do?

Alright. We heard you.

Let's go in.

And I wanna stay out here
and smoke, Ok?

Ninio, do me a favor.

Shit on my face.

Let's go in, Aaron.

Are you coming?

I wish I was dead.

"Before thee, God,
let them bow and fall;

"and unto thy glorious name
let them give honor;

"let them all accept the yoke
of thy kingdom,

"and do thou reign over them speedily,
and for ever and ever.

"For the kingdom is thine,

"and to all eternity
thou wilt reign in glory;

"as it is written in thy Law,

"the Lord shall reign
forever and ever..."

Tami, stop nagging.

You're a married woman, Mom,
it's not appropriate.

And you're 10 years old and single,
what's with the rag on your head?

I'm strengthening my faith.

Good Sabbath to all.

Good Sabbath.

I'd like to talk to our
Bar Mitzvah boys.

Come here.

It's time to choose,

and like every year,
one of our Bar Mitzvah boys

will get the round of honor
at the encirclements.

A boy who will be favorable
in the eyes of God

and will speak on our behalf.

But first things first.

Who wants to begin?

I do.

Go, Meir, go!

Tami, shut up.

Meir Vaknin, kindly tell us something

that we might not know
about the Tishrei holidays.

The Hebrew month of Tishrei
is the month of creation,

although the Torah says
it is actually the month of Nissan.

The month of Tishrei is also called

the month of the Brave.

As in the verse,

"And all the men of Israel assembled
themselves unto King Solomon

"in the month of the Brave,
which is the seventh month."

Tell him where it's from. -Tami!

What? He knows where it's from!

The book of Kings I, Chapter 8, Verse 2.

The month is called this way

because it is the month
when our great Fathers were born,

founders of the world,
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

God will avenge their blood.
- What's that got to do with anything?

It does. You shut up.

The world did not shatter their faith,

and they knew that the word of God
would last forever. Amen! -Amen!

Bravo!

That was very good,
strength and blessings.

Shimon,

the Tishrei holidays...

The Tishrei holidays... uh...

On Rosh Hashanah,

I don't want to.

Why not?
- I'm shy.

You're shy?
Say it like you did at home.

I don't want to, all right?

Shimon, I swear to God,
I'll kill you.

You see? That's why he doesn't
want to, you're stressing him out.

You don't say.
- That's okay, sweetheart,

you don't have to.

Man and boy do all they can,
right Shimon? -You hear that?

Go back to your place.

Aaron, if you please.

Man was created on Friday.

And before the Sabbath he sinned
and was banished from heaven.

Since then he wanders this world,
seeking to amend what he has ruined

and return home.

And what does that have to do
with the Tishrei holidays?

It's the beginning of the amendment.
- How do you know that?

It's the month of soul searching.

Amendment and absolution.

So I chose to talk about
the prayers of forgiveness

which are recited in synagogue
on a weekday...

Everyone knows that.
Meir's totally got this.

Aliza? -What?

Did you hear what I said? -Yes.

All human beings will be forgiven
if they asked for forgiveness

and promised to change.

One can be absolved
by God or by another human being.

But a person can be forgiven by another
only if the other agrees to forgive.

Very nice.

The verse "Thou shalt fear thy God"
appears five times in Leviticus

and each time the Bible only talks about
prohibitions among human beings,

especially between the strong
and the weak.

And I think that what really matters is
what happens between human beings,

even more than what happens
between God and human beings.

I'm done.

Indeed, the Tishrei holidays
are a time of soul searching.

Observing the holidays
preserves our tradition.

But to give them their true meaning,
of change and amendment,

we must regard them
as days of renewed birth

and examine what we want
to change in ourselves.

We must use the holidays
to say to ourselves,

to our friends and to God,
I am ready and willing to change.

How smart, beautiful
and delightful you all are.

And the decision is hard,
very hard.

Aaron Ninio,

you shall be the crown of our joy.
- Thank you.

Well done. Congratulations
to you and your family.

Congratulations.
- Thank you.

I'll get you for this,
you asshole.

Why him? That's very strange.

Why strange?
He pities his mother.

But why at our expense?

We donated 8 rows of chairs
to the synagogue this year.

Why do you stick your nose
in everything?

It's my nose,
I'll stick it wherever I like...

You'd be better off
shutting up.

Rosa, congratulations.

Thank you, Rachel.
- May God bless Rabbi Marco.

Righteous man.

Come, my love.

Congratulations, Ninio.

I told you so.
- The father of the chosen boy

will bless this sacred congregation.
- Did I or didn't I?

My wish for you
is that you have many clogged sinks,

so the idiots can make a living, and
may these be the worst of our troubles.

Amen!

Strength and blessings, my friend...

My righteous Torah scholar!
Come give your dad a hug.

Congratulations, Aaron.
- Thank you.

You see that, Moshe?

On Simchat Torah
even the plumber becomes a Jew.

Congratulations.

Bezalel, let's go home.

Aaron, you coming to play with us?
- Him? -Me?

No, my grandma...
- I'm going home.

Come on,
we're playing evil teacher.

Rosa... Rosa...

Leave me alone, Ninio.

What's the matter with you?

Why couldn't you stand up there
with him?

What?

I'm sorry I didn't come in.
My mistake.

But you know what I think?
- What?

That the gates of heaven
are open for us now.

Fine. -No, I think that this round
of honor is a sign from heaven,

we have to try for another child.

You let him stand there
all alone like an orphan.

Now you're talking about
signs from heaven?

About having another child?

Rosa. -Give me a break, Ninio,
leave me alone.

Rosa.

Rosa.

Rosa, wait up.

Ninio, is it beneath you to sing
with the rest of the class?

Tell her you don't feel like
singing her stupid song.

Come on, say it, don't be scared,
that's the game.

I don't feel like singing
your stupid song.

Mr. Ninio will come here,
sing the song and be punished.

Laugh to her face, Ninio.

Sing, Ninio, sing.

Rip him apart, Aliza, bash his head in.

What's up, oh righteous one?

Meir, what's your problem?
- Aliza, shut up and stay out of this.

You don't say?
- I do say.

Or what?
- You're lucky I don't hit girls.

Just you try.
I'll tear you apart.

You didn't quote any sources,
you didn't give any interpretations,

just some mumbo jumbo.

He's got a point.

Piety and awe mean more than knowledge.
- That's true too.

Besides, the kingdom is in God's hands.
- So what?

So God put the kingdom
in Rabbi Marco's hands,

and that's why his choice counts.

If Shimon had said what he said,

Rabbi Marco would've
laughed in his face.

But he's pathetic and miserable
so he gave it to him.

Then go complain to him.
- Like he'd listen to me.

Then let's have a rematch.
You'll both be tested again,

whoever wins will get the round,
fair and square.

Buy why?
Aaron was already chosen.

Why do you keep butting in?
- That's me, I butt in..

He got the round
and doesn't owe you a thing.

We shouldn't interfere in this, Meir,
it's in God's hands.

Are you a rabbi now too?
- I'm just saying. -Then don't say.

I'll do it.

We'll do another match.

If I lose, I'll say I'm sick
and you'll encircle instead of me.

Thank God.

Now each of you will say
words of wisdom from the bible.

What? Boring!

The one who convinces us his words
are wiser will do the round.

Let's do something else.
- Stupid boring idea.

Piece of shit neighborhood,
barbarians.

Aliza, you decide.

Let's go to my roof.

From the mouth of God,
bless all Israel.

There is no greater than God,
no more blessed than the son of Amram,

no greater than the Torah,
no seeker greater than Israel.

From the mouth of God,
bless all Israel...

Aliza, you bitch.
- We said I decide, right?

You did it on purpose.
I want something else.

There is nothing else.
- What if they both do it?

Then we'll do another test
until one of them loses.

Who's first?

Tami, get the water.

But you wash your hair on your own,
I must not touch a man.

Sit down.

I envy you, I wish
I could hold it too. -Hold what?

The Torah, what else?
- Aliza,

girls aren't allowed.
- Says who?

You are so going to be punished
by God for your questions.

The Torah doesn't actually say
that girls aren't allowed to hold it.

Shame on you.

Why do you sleep here with the boy?

I go to bed early,
I don't want to disturb you.

You don't disturb me.

It's four already, go get the boy.

He'll come later,
he's playing with his friends.

What friends exactly? -Friends.
Rosa, why don't you sleep...

Because I don't want to.

Meir.

Aliza, I'm telling Mom on you.

Meir, this is the game.
If you don't get a haircut,

Aaron gets the round.

I'm not cutting my hair.

I hope you die. Amen.

Hey, Ninio!

Ninio, I hear congratulations
are in order!

Ninio, did it take?
Can we organize a baby shower?

Who is that?

May this be a time
of good fortune for all.

Aaron, are you there?
Is that you mocking your dad?

Aaron!

Get down here this minute or
I'll come up there and rip you apart.

Fuck me, Ninio,
give it to me hard.

But it won't stick, Rosa,
it won't stick.

Never mind, give it to me hard.
- I'll give you a son...

It's just because we pity
you and your mom.

Maybe she'll get pregnant
and your dad will leave you two alone.

Aaron, stop it.
- Leave me alone.

Aaron.
- Let go of me.

Why are you so heavy?
- That's me - heavy.

Aaron.

Shit, Ninio, get over here,
what's this we hear?

Get in here, man,
sit down with us.

The kid got a new haircut.

Who did this to you? Aliza?
- Aliza.

And who messed you up like that?
- I was playing outside.

"Evil teacher?"

So, you got the round of honor.

And you don't tell your friends?
That's not nice.

Yvonne, bring us the smallest glass
of Arak you have.

Just a capful. For us too.

You know what,
bring us the bottle.

Did you think you'd get
the round of honor

and we won't buy you
a drink?

What are we? Animals?
Do we not know how to behave?

Congratulations, Ninio.
- Thank you.

Oh, Yvonne, light of my life just
say the word and I'll leave my wife,

sell my house
and buy you a porcelain villa.

Your wife's been dead for 20 years,
you dog.

Let's get down to business.

Drink...

On your round
ask God to send me a pretty woman.

Pretty like Yvonne.

Drink.

I want a tap flowing with Arak.

Ninio...

drink.

When you do your round,
ask Him for my Nadia.

Not Nadia again?

Yes, Nadia again, Nadia, Nadia, Nadia.
- Who's Nadia?

Do me a favor Ninio,
don't ask hard questions.

So, will you ask for me?

Levi, you haven't seen her
in fifty years,

you see her now you'll freak out.

She'll come and haunt you
in your dreams.

Erase your memory of the girl
and replace it with one

of a wrinkled old lady.

Even if she's wrinkled,
I'll marry her, Ninio.

Song of joy, song of mirth,
groom and bride upon the earth.

Where are you, oh, Nadia?
Levi wants to marry ya.

Song of joy, song of mirth,
groom and bride upon the earth.

Where are you, oh, Nadia...
- Levi's waiting for ya.

Good evening, Rosa.

No, no, go on home.

What did you do to your hair?
- That's how he came here.

Nothing to do with us.

Who did that to you?
Are you out of your mind?

It's pretty nice, actually.

Tiron, pick on someone
your own size, okay?

Come on, let's go home.

Are you drunk?

We just wanted to congratulate him.
- And so you did. Let's go.

Just a second.

Aaron, my love,
you'll ask for me, right?

Levi, what are you, a child?
Let us go home.

I wish I were a child.

When I was a boy in Morocco
I had a girlfriend.

When we were his age,
even younger,

we were one soul.

You know what I mean, right Ninio?

Those who love, know.

For years I've been thinking of her,
I don't know if she's dead or alive.

So now, when the gates of Heaven
are open to you

please, ask God that I find her.

Her name's Nadia, okay, Ninio?

I'll ask.

Thank you, thank you Ninio.

Chatting rubbish.

You know, she used to be the most
beautiful woman around here.

Used to be.

Before she got tired.

What do you expect? Six miscarriages
are enough to make anyone tired.

You know, he loved her once.

And I used to play the flute. Once.

I feel bad for them.

I feel bad for her.

How about playing us a tune.

On the flute.

Get a job.

I'll never understand that game.

It was fun.

Maybe I'll stab you in the eye
with a fork. That's fun too.

It's not the same thing.

Who gave you that nasty haircut?

Aliza? -No. -Then who?

I cut it myself.
Came out nice, no? -No.

You can turn around.

I'll ask for anything you want too.

I don't believe in that nonsense.
- Still.

Sweetheart, I don't need a thing.
Ask for yourself.

Everyone needs something.
- Not me. -I don't believe you.

Fine, I'll think of something.

Think hard. -Alright.

I'll pray that you get pregnant
and go full term.

Why, do you want a brother
or a sister? -Dad does.

But I don't.

I thought you did.

Aaron, please keep
out of my affairs, okay?

And don't go putting these ideas
in your father's head.

Okay.

Promise me.

I promise.

You promise?

And what about you?
What will you ask for yourself?

Aliza.

Take it off, I'll tighten the button.

You know Ninio,

when I was a child, my mother told us
the same story over and over again

and each time she'd change the end,
depending on her mood.

The story was about a prince

who went to see his princess
to ask for her hand in marriage.

On the way, at the road he saw
the most beautiful golden feather.

So he got off his horse,

thinking he'd take the feather
to his princess.

But then he saw a note attached
to the feather that said:

"If you take me,
you'll regret it,

"if you don't take me,
you'll regret it too."

Each time my mother would make up
a different ending,

each ending
worse than the other.

That used to drive me crazy.

The thought of that feather
drove me crazy.

What would I have done?

What would I have done, Ninio?

Who cares about that stupid princess?
Who'd want to marry her anyways?

Here you go.

Great haircut, Aaron.

Who did it, Aliza? -Yes.

Come sit down.

You do the first round.

After your round I take
the Torah from you, okay?

You don't hand it to me,
you wait. Alright?

Why did you choose me?

Why did you choose me
for the round of honor?

Was it out of pity?

Because if it's pity, I don't want it.

Aaron,

if I pitied you,
I wouldn't have chosen you.

Tonight at your encirclement,

you will have a personal connection
with God.

Talk to him.

Nice?

Very nice.

Aaron,

tonight, when you hold the Torah,
make a wish for your dad.

Ask God for a brother or sister.

Alright, son?

You promise? -Yes.

Promise?

Let's try one more time,

if it doesn't work,
I promise never to talk about it again.

It's not the right time of month.
- You think God cares about that?

Besides, I asked the boy.
- What did you ask?

I asked for another child.
A brother or a sister.

That you go full term.

And what did he say?
- He said he'd ask.

Aaron said he'd ask?
- Yes.

Encirclements!

Encirclements!

Encirclements!

Encirclements!

Master of forgivings,
examiner of hearts,

revealer of depths,
speaker of justice,

we have sinned before You,
have mercy upon us,

we have sinned before You,
have mercy upon us.

Happy holiday, Ninio.
- Happy holiday, Shemesh.

That's a Yom Kippur song,
stupid people.

That's a Yom Kippur song,
you stupid people!

We have sinned before You,
have mercy upon us.

We have sinned before You,
have mercy upon us.

Ninio! Ninio!

Congratulations, Ninio.

Look what a beautiful suit I have on.

So that if He hears your prayers,
and she'll come.

She will find me old,
but respectable.

Congratulations Ninio.
Congratulations!

Congratulations, sweetie.

Congratulations.

Bless your heart, Aaron,
will you ask for a groom for me.

It's a miracle!
God heard my prayers.

A wedding, Gedaliya, a wedding!
- Oh, bugger off...

Good luck, Ninio.

(Arabic) Happy Holidays, Ninio.

Hold on tight.

(Arabic) Long and good life
to you Ninio.

May God make thee
as Ephraim and Menasheh.

God keep thee and bless thee.

God make His face shed light
upon thee and be gracious unto thee.

God lift up His countenance
upon thee and give thee peace.

Amen!

Pray for us Aaron!
Pray for us.

Rejoice in the Torah,
rejoice, rejoice in the Torah.

Rejoice beloved, rejoice blessed,
rejoice redeemers in the Torah,

rejoice in the Torah...

Ninio!

Ninio, don't forget, Ninio.

Nadia!

There is no greater than God,
no more blessed than the son of Amram,

no greater than the Torah,
no seeker greater than Israel.

From the mouth of God,
bless all Israel...

Aaron! Aaron!

My love, where are you?
Aaron?

Come to me, sweetheart.

Come my son, let's go home.

Aaron?

It's alright, my love.

My dear son.

Aaron!

Aaron!

I wish this place would burn down,
we'd get the hell outta here.

We'll move, Aaron,
I promise you.

Come, my son, let's go home.

Aaron!

Aaron.

Aaron.

Ninio, people are talking.

All you have to do
is take on a personal fast.

Aaron.

Go away.

But you asked for me,
didn't you?

So. Here I am.

Did you find him?
- No.

Did you search the roof?
- Yes, he's not there.

Aliza, don't bring sin upon yourself.
- Shut up. You and your stupid sins.

He's an asshole.

When I see him I'll tear him apart.

Meir, please.

Aliza.

Rabbi, you have to get up now.

Aliza.

I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me.

Aaron, you're just a boy,
barely Bar Mitzvah.

When a disaster like this happens,

the entire community has to take part
in the atonement.

Not only you.

God is trying to tell us something,
He's using you as a messenger.

You do whatever you want, but
I will take a personal fast upon myself.

When a man fasts
to atone for his sins,

the heavens open up before him
like a book

and his prayers are heard
in heaven,

just as if he were committing
a good deed.

Pray for us, Aaron.

Repeat after me:

I will be observing a personal fast,
may my prayer be heard in heaven.

I will be observing a personal fast,
may my prayer be heard in heaven.

I will be observing a personal fast,
may my prayer be heard in heaven.

I will be observing a personal fast,
may my prayer be heard in heaven.

I will be observing a personal fast,
may my prayer be heard in heaven.

I will be observing a personal fast,
may my prayer be heard in heaven...

Aaron, people have a short memory.

I want to sleep alone.
- It'll be forgotten in a week.

I know, but I want to sleep alone.

Okay, sure.

Talk to him.
Tell him it's alright.

Is it? Is it alright?

This is all you.
All because of you.

Calm down, Bezalel.

It'll be alright.

My dad hates me.
- Screw him.

He doesn't hate you.

Wait with the food, Ninio.

You stupid idiot.
- I'm an idiot?

Your son's an idiot.

Stupid and weak
and crippled like you.

I have to tell him it'll be alright?
What will be alright?

When?
You tell me,

when will it be alright?

When you got home from the hospital
and went to sleep in the boy's room,

I didn't say a word.

For years I waited
for you to come back,

you never came back.

I've been waiting till this day.

8 years since he died
and you haven't come back.

She died.

The last one was a girl.

A perfect girl.

I held her in my arms,
I gave her a name.

After I cried for her,
I kissed her forehead

and promised her
that I'd never try again.

She'll always be my youngest.

I can't do this anymore,
I won't.

I touched her little nose.

Just like Aaron's.

And as soon as I thought of him,

I had this longing in my gut.

I wanted to run to him
and hug him.

That's when I realized
how strong he is.

How can you not see that?

You call that a crippled child?

You're such a fool.
He's a hero.

He's the child that hung on.

And instead of cherishing him,
you hit him again and again,

determined to break him.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was afraid for her.

She was my complete,
private and beautiful memory.

And you killed me with your talk
about another doctor,

another specialist,
another attempt.

You forgot all about me
and you forgot Aaron.

I'll never give you
another child, Bezalel.

Go. Find a woman
to have ten kids with.

Go.

I swear,
I'll dance at your wedding.

Just go and leave us alone.

The third star is out.

The hungry man is always right.
- Dig in.

I said, dig in!

Bon apptit.
- Thank you. -Thank you.

Aaron, come and eat.

Where's Dad?

He's mad at me, my love,
not you.

But where is he?

Probably in the shack.

But he'll be here soon, right?

Aaron, sit and eat.
- I'm not hungry.

Sweetheart, I made you a cup of tea.

Please have some tea, for me.

He won't eat.
He won't even drink water.

You promised me he'd eat.
It's been two days.

It's dangerous.

What about his father?
- What about him? I hope he dies.

I'll talk to him.

I want him to eat,
no talking, no nothing,

food and water.

Get up,
we're breaking the fast.

Aaron.

Don't try to outdo your Rabbi.

Get up.

Even in times of great sorrow,

don't hit the rock child, talk to it.

Now get up.

Aaron, do me a favor,

a personal favor,

get up and eat.

I'm not hungry.

He'll eat, Rosa, I promise.

He just needs to calm down,
right Aaron?

I told you not to talk to your father
about these things, didn't I?

I knew this would happen.

Now you're giving me
a hard time too? Please eat.

Eat, Aaron.

Eat!

Bezalel!

Bezalel, open the door.

Bezalel!

Bezalel, your kid won't eat.

Bezalel.

Want me to sing you a song?

I'll sing you an ancient song

A song about two roses

A song from times
come and gone

Two roses, two roses

Once bloomed in the night

One bloody red,
one ghostly white...

Has he eaten?

If you don't mind me saying,
stop the nonsense Bezalel.

Go home,
give the boy something to eat.

I'm sorry, Bezalel.
Please forgive me.

That was stupid.
- What are you doing?

How are you?

What's all this?
- We've come to help.

He left.

I told him to leave.
Now Aaron won't eat a thing.

Men are like this, weak and stubborn.
Don't worry Rosa, he'll eat.

Come.

When he told me
what we're supposed to do,

I thought he was joking.

I threatened him with a knife
the first night. I swear to God I did.

I said, if you come near me
with that hose, I'll cut it off.

It's okay, sweetie, it's okay.
Come here.

Come here.
It'll be fine.

You're young,
you'll find a better man.

You'll be just fine.

Of course you will, anyway
he has to pay you child support.

Tami, shut up.

"Tami, shut up, Tami shut up."
I've had it. I'll say whatever I want.

He has to give her at least
3000 a month in child support

if not more.

He has to pay for his education,
the dentist, shoes twice a year,

school field trip, clothes.

according to the Torah he even has
to give you money for cosmetics,

even though you don't use any.

In any case, good thing he left,
I never liked him anyway.

Aaron,

Aaron, come eat sweetheart.

You fasted an extra day,
good for you.

Good evening, Bezalel.
- Bon apptit.

I posted an ad about the house.
I'm selling it.

You'll get your share.

You can find a small place
for you and the boy.

I can help you if you want.

We'll discuss this later.
Sit down.

I'm selling the house, I'm leaving.

Fine. We'll sell it, separate, leave.
But not now.

Bezalel, please sit down,
for the boy.

What you said wasn't true.

I never forgot you, never.

It's you who forgot,
you forgot who I am.

I just need
to pick up some things.

I'm not leaving.
- Who asked you?

People are coming over tomorrow
to see the house. I'm selling it.

You can go where ever you want
and I'll go to hell.

I don't agree.

Who do you think you are?
To agree or disagree?

You dropped the Torah scroll,
I wouldn't be so proud if I were you.

Now you're famous, huh?

But I'm paying for it.
Even Rabbi Marco said I am.

Rabbi Marco said what?

He's got five children at home.
What about me?

All I wanted was a family.
Is that asking too much?

Just to stop feeling
that life is stomping on my head.

Look how you treat
the one child you do have.

You call that a child?
That's your husband, your father

and your grandfather.

Sleeping in your bed,
eating out of your plate.

Bezalel,

you know, Maimonides
only had one child too.

Do I look like Maimonides, Rabbi?
Look at me.

Maimonides...

Bezalel.

Shit on my face.

Sit down.
- I'm not hungry.

Aaron, sit next to me.

I love you.

Thanks to you
I got to hold the Torah scroll.

Excuse me, do you know
where Ein Yacov Street is?

Of course, it's right down here.
Who are you looking for?

The Ninio family.
Do you know them? -Sure I do.

Who are they to you?

I saw that their house is for sale.
- No, it isn't, it's all rubbish.

May I have a glass of water?

Yacov Levi, the bird man.

Nadia. -Yes.

Nadia! Nadia! Nadia!

Gedalya, I think I'm having
a heart attack. -Cut it out.

I swear, I don't feel very well.

I don't believe this.

And he doesn't believe in God...

Shame on you.

Aaron, want to hear a funny story?

Your friend, Levi,
found his Nadia.

Everyone's talking about it.

He says it's all because of you.

He says God heard your prayers
and the gates of heaven opened up,

and a miracle has happened to him.

You know what he's been doing
since then?

He cries.

He cries and
no one can calm him down.

For every year gone by
without her, he cries.

Fifty years, that's a lot of tears.

He cries his heart out
from all that love.

I brought you some food.

It's enough that one idiot
is starving himself.

People came over
to see the house.

I said we changed our minds.

Lately I've been thinking a lot
about my mother's feather.

And I finally got it.

I finally realized what I'm doing.

I'm sitting still by the feather,
not moving.

The world can burn to the ground,
I won't budge.

I'm afraid of the sorrow.

And I say to myself,
that if I just sit still,

I won't feel any sorrow.

But if there's sorrow
no matter what I do.

It's better to move.

Right, Ninio?

What did you name her?

What did you name our daughter?

Mali.

I'm taking him to the hospital.

I'm sorry, my love.
I'm sorry.
