Ha Ushpizin
2004 · Movie · 90 min. · Israel
Moshe and Mali, a childless Orthodox couple in Jerusalem, find themselves penniless on the eve of the Jewish holy day of Succoth. As they both pray desperately to the Lord to help them, their prayers are heard and they receive an unexpected charitable donation. The miracle doesn't come without a test, however, as two escaped convicts appear uninvited on the couple's doorstep, friends from Moshe's shady secular past. The outrageous behavior of these unholy messengers and the havoc it brings to the Orthodox community will put Moshe and Mali's faith to the ultimate test.
