description: In Lithuania, Gittel is about to marry the local rabbi and embroiders a curtain for the synagogue's ark, which houses the torah. Into this cloth she weaves jewels given to her father by the tsar. Years later, these jewels travel with her son, Doniyel, to South Africa and become the source of his new-found wealth.
