Description: Two hundred years after the founding of the state by the Zionists, Israel has ceased to be the modern Jewish state that they envisioned. In the middle of the story is Eliyahu, a Yeshiva student who is starting his own family. He is caught between most of his family members who refuse to acknowledge the harsh reality and cling to the words of the great rabbis who promise that nothing bad will happen to them even when the bitter end is on the horizon, and his own questions about the events swirling around them.
