This modern interpretation of the story of Abraham and Isaac traces the struggles of one Israeli family. With a rigid adherence to religious tenants, a rabbi, his wife Esther and young son lead a life completely devoted to God. A sudden tragedy forces the rabbi to re-evaluate his strict obedience to God.
One of the accompanying events for the Obedience exhibition.
