Temple Beth Abraham's mission is to provide our congregants with opportunities to create meaningful connections to
God, Torah, the Jewish People and the surrounding Community.
We remember, with love, the Six Million whose lives were taken during the Holocaust.
We also remember, with love, those who were taken from our midst this week in years past and
commemorate the anniversaries of their passing.

It's Sukkot in Jerusalem's Orthodox neighborhood. A devout

abound: a friend finds Moshe a sukkah he says is abandoned, Moshe is
the beneficiary of a monetary gift, and two escaped convicts arrive on
Moshe and Mali's doorstep in time to be their ushpizin (guests). The
miracles turn into conflicts, straining Moshe and Mali's relationship.
