we go pretty soon?
7
00:00:29,792 --> 00:00:31,292
I'm getting a little tired
of waiting.

Eddie Cantor: Just
a couple more minutes, Jack.

it'd take this long,
10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,209
I'd have had Rochester hitch up
Leona and come after me.

19
00:01:12,834 --> 00:01:17,250
we will gain

Never underestimate
the enemy!

some defensive solidarity.

That's right.
Close it up.
39
00:02:02,834 --> 00:02:04,209
Okay, now, Malter,
What're you doing?
40
00:02:04,292 --> 00:02:06,459
Malter, get your tuchus
out there.

Get a load of them.
52
00:02:47,751 --> 00:02:50,834
Reuven narrating:
I suppose Danny Saunders and I
would have never met,
53
00:02:50,918 --> 00:02:53,542
had it not been for America's
entry into World War II,
54
00:02:53,626 --> 00:02:56,083
and the desire of American Jews
to show the world
55
00:02:56,167 --> 00:02:59,375
that we were as physically fit
as any other American.
56
00:02:59,459 --> 00:03:02,083
We would prove this
by playing tough games
57
00:03:02,167 --> 00:03:03,751
of neighborhood baseball.
58
00:03:03,834 --> 00:03:05,834
But even though Danny
and his team lived
59
00:03:05,918 --> 00:03:07,292
within five blocks of us,
60
00:03:07,375 --> 00:03:09,209
it might as well have been
5,000 miles,
61
00:03:09,292 --> 00:03:10,751
for Danny was a member
62
00:03:10,834 --> 00:03:14,250
of a very orthodox
group of Jews called "Hasidim".
63
00:03:14,334 --> 00:03:16,209
They wore their hair
and clothes the same way
64
00:03:16,292 --> 00:03:19,542
their ancestors did hundreds
of years ago in Eastern Europe.
65
00:03:19,626 --> 00:03:21,876
You could see them on Saturday,
Shabbos.
66
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:25,167
They would hurry off to their
small synagogues to pray
67
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:29,042
and to study the Holy Books,
the Torah and the Talmud.
68
00:03:31,584 --> 00:03:32,834
You ready to play?
69
00:03:32,918 --> 00:03:35,167
-Just about ready.
-We're ready, too.
70
00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:36,125
Good.
71
00:03:39,918 --> 00:03:42,125
Reuven narrating:
They were a strange group.
72
00:03:42,209 --> 00:03:44,250
I didn't know
very much about them.
73
00:03:44,334 --> 00:03:47,500
They would always
keep to themselves,
74
00:03:47,584 --> 00:03:49,042
and that was fine with me.
75
00:03:52,834 --> 00:03:54,083

-Swing, batter!
-Strike!
85
00:04:13,459 --> 00:04:14,918
I don't think
this is their game.
86
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,334
They should stick to praying.
87
00:04:16,417 --> 00:04:17,959
Strike three!
You're out!
88
00:04:18,042 --> 00:04:20,918

Davey! No batter!

Malter, Goldberg?
Back up.
94
00:04:37,792 --> 00:04:38,834
Come on, back up.
That's right.
95
00:04:38,918 --> 00:04:40,209
Reuven, move back!
96
00:04:40,292 --> 00:04:42,626
That's Danny Saunders!
He can hit!
97
00:04:42,709 --> 00:04:45,042
All right, Davey, come on,
let's get him, Dave.

Whip it in!

to the pitcher?

You always this friendly?

Malter, you take over
for Davey, okay?
113
00:05:43,375 --> 00:05:44,751
Yes, sir.
114
00:05:44,834 --> 00:05:45,667
Okay?

00:05:47,834 --> 00:05:48,667
Okay.

117
00:05:55,584 --> 00:05:56,959

Thank you.
128
00:07:25,542 --> 00:07:27,459
How are you feeling?
129
00:07:27,542 --> 00:07:28,959
Okay.
130
00:07:29,042 --> 00:07:29,959
The hospital...
131
00:07:31,876 --> 00:07:33,000
Just telephoned me.
132
00:07:33,083 --> 00:07:34,626
They told me you were awake.
133
00:07:34,709 --> 00:07:37,250
I brought you a few things.
134
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:40,542
I ran out of a faculty meeting.
135
00:07:43,125 --> 00:07:45,125
Is my eye gonna be okay?
136
00:07:45,209 --> 00:07:47,417
Why shouldn't it be?
137
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,709
Dr. Lockman operated on it.
He's a big specialist.
138
00:07:50,792 --> 00:07:53,000
-They operated on it?
-Mm-hmm.
139
00:07:53,083 --> 00:07:54,042
What was the matter?
140
00:07:54,125 --> 00:07:55,000
There was a...
141
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:57,792
piece of glass in your eye.
142
00:07:57,876 --> 00:08:00,459
-They took it out?
-Yeah, took it out.
143
00:08:02,042 --> 00:08:03,709
It's-- It's gonna be okay now?
144
00:08:05,125 --> 00:08:06,334
Yeah.
145
00:08:06,417 --> 00:08:07,834
Your eye's going to be
all right.
146
00:08:07,918 --> 00:08:10,292
-You sure?
-Yes, I'm sure.
147
00:08:10,375 --> 00:08:11,542
( Coughing )
148
00:08:15,417 --> 00:08:17,209
I know you're not
telling me something.
149
00:08:18,542 --> 00:08:19,959
Please tell me.
150
00:08:22,459 --> 00:08:25,250
I'll tell you exactly what
they told me about the eye.
151
00:08:27,125 --> 00:08:30,083
Until the bandages are
removed, we won't know
152
00:08:30,167 --> 00:08:32,709
whether the eye will
be able to see or not.
153
00:08:32,792 --> 00:08:37,083
But... Dr. Lockman
is very optimistic.
154
00:08:37,167 --> 00:08:38,876
But he's not sure?
155
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:39,792
No.
156
00:08:40,834 --> 00:08:42,125
No, he's not sure.
157
00:08:51,167 --> 00:08:52,125
( Sighs )
158
00:08:53,709 --> 00:08:56,918
Danny Saunders' father
called me twice today
159
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,209
and once last night.
160
00:08:58,292 --> 00:09:00,375
He just wanted to know
how you were,
161
00:09:00,459 --> 00:09:03,709
and he tells me his son
is very, very sorry.
162
00:09:03,792 --> 00:09:05,709
He's sorry
that he didn't kill me.
163
00:09:05,792 --> 00:09:08,542
Reuven,
what kind of talk is this?
164
00:09:08,626 --> 00:09:11,792
It wasn't an accident.
He wanted to hit me.
165
00:09:11,876 --> 00:09:13,667
You mean he did it
deliberately.
166
00:09:13,751 --> 00:09:15,125
It seemed deliberate.
167
00:09:19,751 --> 00:09:21,959
I brought your radio.
168
00:09:22,042 --> 00:09:23,626
Just because
you're in a hospital
169
00:09:23,709 --> 00:09:26,083
doesn't mean you should be
shut off from the world.
170
00:09:26,167 --> 00:09:30,626
The news reports say Rome
was declared an open city,
171
00:09:30,709 --> 00:09:32,751
it will be ours any day now.
172
00:09:34,334 --> 00:09:36,000
Ah, ah, ah, no reading.
173
00:09:36,083 --> 00:09:38,209
What do you mean no reading?
I can't read a newspaper?
174
00:09:38,292 --> 00:09:39,584
You are not allowed to read.
175
00:09:39,667 --> 00:09:41,125
What am I gonna do
about my schoolwork?
176
00:09:41,209 --> 00:09:43,042
That's one of
the great advantages
177
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:46,042
of being hit in the eye...

00:19:51,209 --> 00:19:53,667
Do you know the Hebrew
for king?
359
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,626
Of course, melech.
360
00:19:56,709 --> 00:19:58,209
And for clown or fool?
361
00:19:59,375 --> 00:20:00,209
Lemech.
362
00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:05,876
The word for king, melech,
363
00:20:05,959 --> 00:20:09,042
begins with an 'M',
and then an 'L'.
364
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:12,000
Whereas the word
for fool, lemech,
365
00:20:12,083 --> 00:20:14,292
begins with the 'L'
and then the 'M'.
366
00:20:15,584 --> 00:20:16,417
So what?
367
00:20:17,792 --> 00:20:21,125
In Hebrew,
The word for intellect
368
00:20:21,209 --> 00:20:23,876
is moch, begins with an 'M'.
369
00:20:23,959 --> 00:20:26,125
And the word for heart,
the seat of passion?
370
00:20:26,209 --> 00:20:27,667
Lev.
371
00:20:27,751 --> 00:20:29,918
Lev, that's correct.
Begins with an 'L'.
372
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,626
So you see, Reuven,
373
00:20:31,709 --> 00:20:33,918
if you put the 'M'
in front of the 'L',
374
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,918
the head in front of the heart,
then you're a king.
375
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,250
And if you put the 'L'
in front of the 'M',
376
00:20:39,334 --> 00:20:41,918
the heart in front of the head,
then you're a fool.
377
00:20:43,334 --> 00:20:44,751
You calling me a fool?
378
00:20:44,834 --> 00:20:47,751
No, no, no, no,
but don't you see the importance
379
00:20:47,834 --> 00:20:50,125
that the symbols
in our dreams can have?
380
00:20:50,209 --> 00:20:54,209
Reuven, deep inside of us,
there is something.
381
00:20:54,292 --> 00:20:56,167
It's called the unconscious.
382
00:20:56,250 --> 00:20:57,876
It makes us do
and feel things
383
00:20:57,959 --> 00:21:00,000
without us ever even
being aware of it.
384
00:21:00,083 --> 00:21:01,667
It's filled with things
385
00:21:01,751 --> 00:21:03,834
that-- that we're afraid
to tell to ourselves.
386
00:21:03,918 --> 00:21:07,167
And it is only by interpreting
the symbols in our dreams
387
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:08,500
that we can find out
388
00:21:08,584 --> 00:21:11,167
about what's really going on
inside of us.
389
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:13,125
Danny, where did you learn
all this stuff?
390
00:21:16,959 --> 00:21:18,292
Um...
391
00:21:18,375 --> 00:21:20,125
I've been reading about it.
392
00:21:20,209 --> 00:21:21,125
In Hebrew class?
393
00:21:22,292 --> 00:21:23,125
No.
394
00:21:25,042 --> 00:21:26,500
In the library.
395
00:21:29,542 --> 00:21:31,792
I get tired
just studying Talmud,
396
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:34,250
I know it cold,
397
00:21:34,334 --> 00:21:35,542
so I've been going
to the library,
398
00:21:35,626 --> 00:21:36,500
reading other things.
399
00:21:37,626 --> 00:21:38,667
It's okay with me.
400
00:21:40,125 --> 00:21:41,375
With you, maybe.
401
00:21:41,459 --> 00:21:43,042
My father, he's very specific
402
00:21:43,125 --> 00:21:45,751
about the things
we're allowed to read.
403
00:21:45,834 --> 00:21:47,167
Have you told him?
404
00:21:47,250 --> 00:21:48,083
No.
405
00:21:49,709 --> 00:21:51,167
I haven't told anyone.
406
00:21:53,417 --> 00:21:54,626
Until now.
407
00:21:57,709 --> 00:21:59,500
I met this man in the library,
408
00:21:59,584 --> 00:22:01,083
he's been showing me
books to read...
409
00:22:01,167 --> 00:22:03,751
Fitzgerald, Steinbeck,
Hemingway!
410
00:22:03,834 --> 00:22:06,375
Now, now I'm concentrating
on psychology.
411
00:22:06,459 --> 00:22:09,709
Adler, Jung, Freud.
( Chuckles )
412
00:22:09,792 --> 00:22:12,000
It's incredible, Reuven!
It's exciting!
413
00:22:12,083 --> 00:22:14,542
I've been going to the library
as often as I can,
414
00:22:14,626 --> 00:22:17,918
without anyone
finding out about it.
415
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:23,083
I'll keep your secret.
416
00:22:28,918 --> 00:22:31,250
What are you gonna do
after you graduate?
417
00:22:31,334 --> 00:22:33,584
Go to Hirsch College.
418
00:22:33,667 --> 00:22:35,751
-Mm.
-What about you?
419
00:22:35,834 --> 00:22:37,834
Rabbinical Yeshiva.
420
00:22:37,918 --> 00:22:40,250
You know, Hirsch has got
a rabbinical department.
421
00:22:40,334 --> 00:22:41,334
It's a very good one.
422
00:22:41,417 --> 00:22:43,334
Yes, I've heard of it.
423
00:22:43,417 --> 00:22:46,542
But my father would
never let me go there.
424
00:22:46,626 --> 00:22:49,876
So you're gonna become a rabbi
and take your father's place?
425
00:22:49,959 --> 00:22:52,042
It's expected of me.
426
00:22:52,125 --> 00:22:55,626
My family, they've been rabbis
for the past six generations.
427
00:22:55,709 --> 00:22:58,500
It's like a dynasty.
428
00:22:58,584 --> 00:23:01,000
And I'm next in line.
429
00:23:02,667 --> 00:23:04,542
You don't sound
very happy about it.
430
00:23:06,542 --> 00:23:07,375
I'm happy.
431
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,083
♪
432
00:23:13,167 --> 00:23:14,500
What'd you get in history,
Reuven?
433
00:23:14,584 --> 00:23:17,542
Him? Him, he gets a 98.
With one eye, yet.
434
00:23:17,626 --> 00:23:19,500
-Yeah, but he's had help.
-From who?
435
00:23:19,584 --> 00:23:21,959
He's got his own personal Hasid
giving him lessons.
436
00:23:22,042 --> 00:23:24,125
Hey, Goldberg,
would you just lay off?
437
00:23:24,209 --> 00:23:25,959
-Touchy!
-Is this true?
438
00:23:26,042 --> 00:23:27,375
Yeah, that's the word.
439
00:23:27,459 --> 00:23:29,250
He's hanging out
with a holier gang now.
440
00:23:29,334 --> 00:23:30,834
He's getting too good for us.
441
00:23:30,918 --> 00:23:33,500
Ah, See?
There's one of his buddies now!
442
00:23:33,584 --> 00:23:34,500
( Chuckles )
443
00:23:34,584 --> 00:23:35,959
Hasidim!
444
00:23:36,042 --> 00:23:38,083
I see'd him, too!
But I don't believe 'em!
445
00:23:38,167 --> 00:23:40,792
-( knocks on window )
-MAN: See? What'd I tell you?
446
00:23:40,876 --> 00:23:42,542
There he goes!
Bye, Reuven!
447
00:23:42,626 --> 00:23:43,500
( Laughter )
448
00:23:45,542 --> 00:23:48,459
Danny.
What're you doing here?
449
00:23:48,542 --> 00:23:50,209
I'm looking for you.
450
00:23:50,292 --> 00:23:52,167
My father wants
to meet you.
451
00:23:52,250 --> 00:23:53,083
Why?
452
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:56,167
I told him we were friends.
453
00:23:56,250 --> 00:23:57,667
( Muffled laughter )
454
00:23:57,751 --> 00:24:01,000
You don't mind me telling him
we were friends?
455
00:24:01,083 --> 00:24:02,209
No, I don't mind.
456
00:24:02,292 --> 00:24:04,959
Good! Well,
he has to approve.
457
00:24:05,042 --> 00:24:06,459
He has to approve of what?
458
00:24:06,542 --> 00:24:07,792
Of my friends.
459
00:24:07,876 --> 00:24:10,250
Especially if they're
outside the fold.
460
00:24:10,334 --> 00:24:11,250
So you'll come?
461
00:24:12,375 --> 00:24:15,000
Yeah. I guess.
462
00:24:15,083 --> 00:24:15,918
Where?
463
00:24:17,959 --> 00:24:19,083
To meet my father.
464
00:24:19,167 --> 00:24:20,459
Yeah, I'll come.
When?
465
00:24:20,542 --> 00:24:21,792
Tomorrow for Shabbos.
466
00:24:23,083 --> 00:24:24,709
Don't worry, Reuven.
467
00:24:24,792 --> 00:24:26,542
My father is a great man.
468
00:24:27,626 --> 00:24:28,542
You'll see
when you come.
469
00:24:29,626 --> 00:24:30,959
( Talking indistinctly )
470
00:24:31,042 --> 00:24:32,584
( Folksy music plays )
471
00:24:32,667 --> 00:24:34,375
Reuven narrating: Danny
told me about the founder
472
00:24:34,459 --> 00:24:36,083
of the Hasidic movement,
473
00:24:36,167 --> 00:24:39,042
who lived with poor people
in Poland during the 1700s.
474
00:24:39,125 --> 00:24:41,209
They called him
the Ba'al Shem Tov,
475
00:24:41,292 --> 00:24:43,125
the Master of the Good Word.
476
00:24:43,209 --> 00:24:44,500
He had studied Kabbalah,
477
00:24:44,584 --> 00:24:47,292
the secret books
of Jewish mysticism.
478
00:24:47,375 --> 00:24:50,125
He preached a popular idea
that God is everywhere,
479
00:24:50,209 --> 00:24:51,667
that he should be worshipped
through joy
480
00:24:51,751 --> 00:24:53,959
and singing and dancing,
481
00:24:54,042 --> 00:24:58,209
that to be a good Jew didn't
depend on how much you knew
482
00:24:58,292 --> 00:25:00,500
but on how much you felt.
483
00:25:00,584 --> 00:25:03,626
( Folksy music continues )
484
00:25:21,334 --> 00:25:23,792
( Indistinct conversations
and chanted prayers )
485
00:25:45,375 --> 00:25:46,500
( Scattered hushing )
486
00:25:47,876 --> 00:25:49,626
( whispering )
My father's coming.
487
00:26:00,709 --> 00:26:01,542
Papa?
488
00:26:06,417 --> 00:26:09,334
This is my friend,
Reuven Malter.
489
00:26:10,834 --> 00:26:12,167
Reuven Malter?
490
00:26:13,584 --> 00:26:15,000
Your eye, it is healing?
491
00:26:18,209 --> 00:26:20,292
That's good.
492
00:26:20,375 --> 00:26:23,250
With God's help,
it'll heal speedily.
493
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,792
I hear you are a good student.
494
00:26:29,918 --> 00:26:31,125
You know Torah?
495
00:26:31,209 --> 00:26:32,167
Yes, sir.
496
00:26:32,250 --> 00:26:33,167
You know Talmud?
497
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:36,459
Well, we shall see.
498
00:26:36,542 --> 00:26:37,584
We shall see.
499
00:26:44,542 --> 00:26:47,042
( Indistinct conversations )
500
00:26:47,125 --> 00:26:50,209
( praying in Hebrew )
501
00:26:54,709 --> 00:26:56,125
ALL: Amen.
502
00:26:56,209 --> 00:27:00,209
( All singing )
503
00:28:01,083 --> 00:28:02,167
( Singing stops,
Reuven continues )
504
00:28:04,918 --> 00:28:07,250
This man was on a boat
and fell into the sea,
505
00:28:07,334 --> 00:28:11,292
and the captain of the boat,
he saw this man was drowning.
506
00:28:11,375 --> 00:28:12,626
So he threw this man a rope.
507
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,876
And, "Hold onto this rope,"
he shouted.
508
00:28:16,959 --> 00:28:18,876
"Hold on to this rope.
Hold tight.
509
00:28:18,959 --> 00:28:20,292
Hold tight.
510
00:28:20,375 --> 00:28:22,959
'Cause if you let go,
you may lose your life."
511
00:28:25,918 --> 00:28:30,542
Are we too not drowning
in a sea of ignorance?
512
00:28:30,626 --> 00:28:32,042
Cruelty, death?
513
00:28:33,125 --> 00:28:34,876
Who is our captain?
514
00:28:36,042 --> 00:28:36,876
God!
515
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:41,292
And what is the rope
that he throws us?
516
00:28:41,375 --> 00:28:43,000
It is our Torah!
517
00:28:45,417 --> 00:28:49,083
Now it's not an easy task
to study Torah.
518
00:28:49,167 --> 00:28:52,751
It is a task that takes all day.
519
00:28:52,834 --> 00:28:55,959
It is a task
that takes all night.
520
00:28:56,042 --> 00:28:59,042
And there is a great danger.
521
00:28:59,125 --> 00:29:01,667
Did not the Reb Meir say,
522
00:29:01,751 --> 00:29:06,292
"He who is walking by the way
and studying,
523
00:29:06,375 --> 00:29:09,918
and he breaks off that study
and he sees...
524
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,250
he sees a field,
525
00:29:11,334 --> 00:29:14,459
and in that field,
he sees a tree.
526
00:29:14,542 --> 00:29:17,667
Him does not
the scriptures consider
527
00:29:17,751 --> 00:29:19,959
"as if he had forfeited
his life!"
528
00:29:20,042 --> 00:29:23,459
Only...
Only through the Torah...
529
00:29:23,542 --> 00:29:26,667
Through the Torah
can you lead a full life.
530
00:29:26,751 --> 00:29:31,334
Only then will God,
the master of the universe,
531
00:29:31,417 --> 00:29:33,959
Only then
will He hear your words!
532
00:29:44,459 --> 00:29:45,876
Amen.
533
00:29:45,959 --> 00:29:47,542
ALL: Amen!
534
00:29:48,709 --> 00:29:49,542
Reuven?
535
00:29:51,751 --> 00:29:56,042
Reuven, what did you think
of my...
536
00:29:57,584 --> 00:29:59,542
little talk?
537
00:29:59,626 --> 00:30:04,042
I mean, it was, uh...
Was it, uh...
538
00:30:04,125 --> 00:30:06,500
Was it all right?
Was it good?
539
00:30:10,584 --> 00:30:12,500
It was very good.
540
00:30:12,584 --> 00:30:13,876
It was very good.
541
00:30:13,959 --> 00:30:15,292
( Light chuckling )
542
00:30:15,375 --> 00:30:17,000
Well, was it, uh...
It was it...
543
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:21,542
It was all, uh,
good and, uh, correct?
544
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,834
Sir?
545
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Daniel?
546
00:30:30,083 --> 00:30:32,667
It wasn't Rabbi Meir
who said that turning from Torah
547
00:30:32,751 --> 00:30:35,000
and looking on a field or a tree
would be forfeiting a life.
548
00:30:35,083 --> 00:30:37,417
It was written in the name
of Rabbi Yakov,
549
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:38,959
not Rabbi Meir.
550
00:30:39,042 --> 00:30:42,417
( Murmuring and laughter )
551
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:44,083
True.
It was Rabbi Yakov.
552
00:30:45,167 --> 00:30:46,876
And is it... Reuven?
553
00:30:47,959 --> 00:30:51,250
Is it also true that a man,
554
00:30:51,334 --> 00:30:55,042
he should spend his whole life
only studying Torah?
555
00:30:58,918 --> 00:31:02,876
Torah should be combined
with work and good deeds.
556
00:31:02,959 --> 00:31:04,167
( Murmuring )
557
00:31:05,626 --> 00:31:07,125
And whose words are these?
558
00:31:10,083 --> 00:31:12,751
S- Simeon the Righteous,
I think.
559
00:31:12,834 --> 00:31:14,709
REB: You think?
You should know.
560
00:31:14,792 --> 00:31:17,584
I kn-- I know.
561
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:18,709
You know?
562
00:31:20,375 --> 00:31:21,542
I know.
563
00:31:21,626 --> 00:31:22,751
He knows.
564
00:31:22,834 --> 00:31:24,500
( Laughter )
565
00:31:24,584 --> 00:31:26,834
Well, that, that's good
that you know, eh?
566
00:31:26,918 --> 00:31:28,667
( Laughter )
567
00:31:28,751 --> 00:31:30,000
REB: He knows, yeah?
568
00:31:31,542 --> 00:31:35,167
( All singing )
569
00:31:45,292 --> 00:31:46,918
At least you could have
warned me!
570
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,083
I didn't know!
571
00:31:48,167 --> 00:31:49,584
So? What's the hurry?
572
00:31:49,667 --> 00:31:52,459
Mama, this is Reuven Malter.
573
00:31:52,542 --> 00:31:54,375
Reuven Malter.
Hello.
574
00:31:54,459 --> 00:31:55,876
And this is my sister, Shaindel.
575
00:31:55,959 --> 00:31:57,250
-Hello.
-Come on.
576
00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:01,334
He usually only asks me.
577
00:32:01,417 --> 00:32:03,083
Do you always go through
that routine?
578
00:32:03,167 --> 00:32:05,751
Sure, but I don't mind it.
I'm used to it.
579
00:32:05,834 --> 00:32:07,125
It's a kind of tradition.
580
00:32:08,250 --> 00:32:10,000
That's some tradition.
581
00:32:10,083 --> 00:32:11,876
My father's father
did it to him.
582
00:32:11,959 --> 00:32:13,542
It's really not so bad.
583
00:32:13,626 --> 00:32:16,751
The bad part is waiting
until he makes the mistake.
584
00:32:16,834 --> 00:32:18,334
After that, it's all right.
585
00:32:18,417 --> 00:32:20,918
Actually, it's kind of a game.
586
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,876
I enjoy it.
587
00:32:22,959 --> 00:32:24,959
Some game.
( Chuckles )
588
00:32:25,042 --> 00:32:27,959
Aren't you scared?
In front of all those people?
589
00:32:28,042 --> 00:32:29,584
Ah! They love it!
590
00:32:29,667 --> 00:32:31,292
Didn't you see their faces?
591
00:32:31,375 --> 00:32:35,209
They're proud of us.
They're proud of my father.
592
00:32:35,292 --> 00:32:37,459
DANNY:
Reuven, back in Russia,
593
00:32:37,542 --> 00:32:40,584
My father saved
his whole community.
594
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:42,167
Bandit gangs of Cossacks
595
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:44,167
attacked the little town
he lived in.
596
00:32:44,250 --> 00:32:45,834
They killed everybody.
597
00:32:45,918 --> 00:32:48,876
They left him for dead with
a bullet wound in his chest.
598
00:32:48,959 --> 00:32:51,292
Well, once he recovered,
599
00:32:51,375 --> 00:32:55,250
he announced to his people
they were done with Russia.
600
00:32:55,334 --> 00:32:56,667
They were going to America.
601
00:32:58,042 --> 00:33:00,375
They all followed him,
just like that?
602
00:33:00,459 --> 00:33:02,042
( Chuckles )
Of course.
603
00:33:03,292 --> 00:33:04,959
They would have followed him
anywhere.
604
00:33:07,876 --> 00:33:09,334
I don't understand.
605
00:33:11,083 --> 00:33:13,500
I don't know any rabbi
who has that kind of power.
606
00:33:13,584 --> 00:33:14,751
No, no, Reuven...
607
00:33:15,834 --> 00:33:18,292
My father is not just a rabbi.
608
00:33:19,667 --> 00:33:22,459
He's a Tzadik, a righteous man.
609
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:25,792
A bridge between
his followers and God.
610
00:33:25,876 --> 00:33:27,334
You gonna be a bridge, too?
611
00:33:31,709 --> 00:33:34,584
Yesterday, I asked him if,
612
00:33:34,667 --> 00:33:36,751
maybe I could go
to Hirsch College
613
00:33:36,834 --> 00:33:38,459
instead of Rabbinical Yeshiva.
614
00:33:38,542 --> 00:33:40,709
Reuven: Yeah?
What did he say?
615
00:33:40,792 --> 00:33:42,083
He didn't say anything.
616
00:33:42,167 --> 00:33:45,500
I told you, my father
doesn't talk to me.
617
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,709
I'd hate that,
618
00:33:48,792 --> 00:33:50,876
to not have
my father talk to me...
619
00:33:54,083 --> 00:33:58,417
Well that, uh... my son Daniel
has picked you as a friend,
620
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:00,250
but also, I happen to know
621
00:34:00,334 --> 00:34:02,876
that your father
is a famous, uh, scholar,
622
00:34:02,959 --> 00:34:07,667
and he does scientific, uh,
criticism of the sacred words.
623
00:34:07,751 --> 00:34:09,959
So I don't know.
624
00:34:10,042 --> 00:34:13,876
Maybe I should worry
that the son of such a man
625
00:34:13,959 --> 00:34:15,918
should be the friend
of my Daniel.
626
00:34:18,542 --> 00:34:19,375
But then again...
627
00:34:22,042 --> 00:34:25,417
Daniel should have
a friend.
628
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:27,792
I mean, my-- myself,
I-- I have--
629
00:34:27,876 --> 00:34:30,584
I have many responsibilities.
630
00:34:30,667 --> 00:34:31,667
I am--
631
00:34:34,417 --> 00:34:36,667
I am too, uh, busy
632
00:34:36,751 --> 00:34:40,000
to, uh, to talk to him, hmm?
633
00:34:41,626 --> 00:34:43,292
Well, let me tell you something.
634
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:45,500
Now, you listen.
635
00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:49,542
It is not easy
to be a friend.
636
00:34:50,709 --> 00:34:51,709
You hear?
637
00:34:51,792 --> 00:34:52,959
Yes, sir.
638
00:34:53,042 --> 00:34:54,792
Okay.
639
00:34:54,876 --> 00:34:57,834
So have a good week
and come pray with us again.
640
00:34:57,918 --> 00:35:00,250
( All say good-bye in Hebrew )
641
00:35:09,083 --> 00:35:11,834
Reuven: Reb Saunders says
that he doesn't like
642
00:35:11,918 --> 00:35:13,667
your articles very much.
643
00:35:13,751 --> 00:35:15,626
I'm not surprised.
644
00:35:15,709 --> 00:35:18,918
We come from two totally
different approaches.
645
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,876
He thinks Torah
was written by God,
646
00:35:20,959 --> 00:35:22,542
and I think it was written
by man,
647
00:35:22,626 --> 00:35:23,459
inspired by God.
648
00:35:24,959 --> 00:35:26,792
But then there's
a lot of my own writing
649
00:35:26,876 --> 00:35:28,334
I don't like myself.
650
00:35:28,417 --> 00:35:29,834
Papa, what are you talking
about?
651
00:35:29,918 --> 00:35:31,626
Your writing is...
it's brilliant.
652
00:35:31,709 --> 00:35:33,125
Thank you,
but there is brilliance,
653
00:35:33,209 --> 00:35:34,167
and there is brilliance.
654
00:35:35,542 --> 00:35:37,751
I am a simple teacher
doing my job,
655
00:35:37,834 --> 00:35:39,709
writing as well as I can.
656
00:35:39,792 --> 00:35:42,042
I know my limits,
and I accept them.
657
00:35:42,125 --> 00:35:46,626
But I'm no great leader
like a Reb Saunders.
658
00:35:46,709 --> 00:35:48,042
Ah!
659
00:35:48,125 --> 00:35:50,000
So, now you like him.
660
00:35:50,083 --> 00:35:52,667
I don't know him well enough
to like him or not.
661
00:35:52,751 --> 00:35:55,375
I don't care particularly
for his Hasidism,
662
00:35:55,459 --> 00:35:57,667
but he accomplished a lot.
663
00:35:57,751 --> 00:36:00,334
It's not a simple task
to be a leader of people.
664
00:36:00,417 --> 00:36:04,250
It needs a special gift,
and Reb Saunders has that gift.
665
00:36:04,334 --> 00:36:07,167
It's a pity he keeps his
Hasidism in a separate world
666
00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:10,083
and he resists modern ideas
and changes.
667
00:36:10,167 --> 00:36:13,709
It's even more a shame
that a mind like Danny's
668
00:36:13,792 --> 00:36:15,459
should be shut off
from the world.
669
00:36:15,542 --> 00:36:18,709
Danny doesn't want
to be shut off.
670
00:36:18,792 --> 00:36:20,375
He wants to go
to Hirsch College.
671
00:36:23,292 --> 00:36:24,125
Danny?
672
00:36:26,209 --> 00:36:28,834
And what does his father say?
673
00:36:28,918 --> 00:36:32,375
He told me that his father
doesn't talk to him.
674
00:36:32,459 --> 00:36:34,209
What do you mean?
675
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:37,167
He said that his father
believes in silence.
676
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:43,167
You mean Danny was
brought up in silence?
677
00:36:44,876 --> 00:36:46,334
Papa, what does that mean?
678
00:36:48,083 --> 00:36:50,542
I heard once in Europe
something about that,
679
00:36:50,626 --> 00:36:52,000
but I never believed it.
680
00:36:53,209 --> 00:36:55,584
He must be a very,
very lonely boy.
681
00:36:57,250 --> 00:37:00,876
Anyway, I'm glad and proud
you made Danny your friend.
682
00:37:00,959 --> 00:37:01,792
So am I.
683
00:37:05,375 --> 00:37:07,167
You're studying German?
684
00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:09,792
What's wrong with German?
Freud wrote in German.
685
00:37:09,876 --> 00:37:11,209
I want to read him
in the original.
686
00:37:12,709 --> 00:37:14,834
What are you looking
at me like that for?
687
00:37:14,918 --> 00:37:16,417
Just because Hitler
speaks German
688
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:18,584
doesn't mean the whole
language is corrupt.
689
00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:20,542
You know what the word
for mysterious is in German?
690
00:37:20,626 --> 00:37:22,167
I don't know any German.
691
00:37:22,250 --> 00:37:25,042
It's geheimnisvoll.
It means "full of secrets."
692
00:37:25,125 --> 00:37:27,083
That's what the unconscious is.
Geheimnisvoll.
693
00:37:27,167 --> 00:37:31,626
Geheimnisvoll.
Geheimnisvoll.
Sound like spies to me.
694
00:37:31,709 --> 00:37:34,000
Hey, what do you say?
They sound like spies
to you?
695
00:37:34,083 --> 00:37:35,667
Loose lips sink ships.
696
00:37:35,751 --> 00:37:38,959
Hey, what's with
the curls, honey?
697
00:37:39,042 --> 00:37:40,834
-You're in our way.
-Hey, you're on our block.
698
00:37:40,918 --> 00:37:42,417
( All shouting )
699
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:45,792
No, no, no. Now, come on,
let's go. Let's go.
700
00:37:45,876 --> 00:37:47,167
-( Groans )
-Reuven!
701
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,667
Sorry, Jew boy.
702
00:37:48,751 --> 00:37:50,584
Are you hurt?
703
00:37:50,667 --> 00:37:51,834
( Laughter )
704
00:37:51,918 --> 00:37:53,792
No! No, Reuven!
705
00:37:57,459 --> 00:37:58,667
MAN: You dirty kike!
706
00:38:02,626 --> 00:38:04,459
You told me you didn't
like to fight!
707
00:38:04,542 --> 00:38:06,292
I don't.
708
00:38:06,375 --> 00:38:08,417
Reuven: Mrs. Saunders,
it's all right.
709
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:10,083
Mrs. Saunders:
And Levi, go get some
witch hazel for your brother.

It wasn't our fault.

How could you have?
I never told you my name.
730
00:39:28,626 --> 00:39:31,459
Wait a minute,
what is going on here?
731
00:39:31,542 --> 00:39:34,542
I am very grateful
to you, Mr. Malter.
732
00:39:34,626 --> 00:39:37,417
It was you who was
suggesting books for Danny.
733
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,626
Well, a boy comes
into the library,
734
00:39:40,709 --> 00:39:44,125
Sits down near
where I usually sit.
735
00:39:44,209 --> 00:39:46,584
A Hasidic boy sits
a little bit in the corner
736
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:49,334
so no one should recognize him.
737
00:39:49,417 --> 00:39:51,125
But after a while,
he turns to me,
738
00:39:51,209 --> 00:39:54,459
apologizes for having
interrupted my work
739
00:39:54,542 --> 00:39:57,626
and asks me if I could
recommend a book for him.
740
00:39:57,709 --> 00:40:00,250
I suggest one,
and two hours later,
741
00:40:00,334 --> 00:40:02,751
he comes back
and has not only read it
742
00:40:02,834 --> 00:40:04,667
but memorized it.
743
00:40:04,751 --> 00:40:08,751
I was amazed, of course,
and I suggest another one,
744
00:40:08,834 --> 00:40:11,209
and another and another
and another.
745
00:40:11,292 --> 00:40:12,375
And here we are.
746
00:40:13,667 --> 00:40:14,876
Why didn't you tell me?
747
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,667
It was not for me to tell.
748
00:40:18,876 --> 00:40:21,167
Another book for you.
749
00:40:21,250 --> 00:40:25,417
Not very easy, but,
you might like it.
750
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:26,959
It's also by Freud,
751
00:40:27,042 --> 00:40:29,167
might be just
the right moment.
752
00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:31,876
The German title is
"Totem and Taboo."

Danny's not here.
757
00:40:56,209 --> 00:40:58,459
Do you know
when he'll be back?
758
00:40:58,542 --> 00:40:59,584
He didn't tell me.
759
00:41:01,542 --> 00:41:03,000
Are you still studying together?
760
00:41:04,167 --> 00:41:07,042
Yes. We're preparing
for college.
761
00:41:07,125 --> 00:41:09,709
You're going
to Rabbinical Yeshiva?
762

No.
763

Well, do you want
to come inside
764
00:41:14,751 --> 00:41:15,667
or wait out here?
765
00:41:16,751 --> 00:41:18,167
I'd like to come inside.
766
00:41:19,542 --> 00:41:20,375

Hello, Reb Saunders.

00:41:35,751 --> 00:41:37,125
My boy, why don't you
come upstairs?
770
00:41:37,209 --> 00:41:38,876
I want to talk to you
in the study.

Yes, sir.
780
00:42:26,125 --> 00:42:27,959
You'd think there was
enough books in this room
781
00:42:28,042 --> 00:42:29,459
to last a lifetime.
782
00:42:31,417 --> 00:42:34,125
That's why I'd like to talk
to you about something.
783
00:42:42,334 --> 00:42:45,709
I understand that, uh...
784
00:42:45,792 --> 00:42:49,209
my Daniel spends several hours
a day at the library.
785
00:42:49,292 --> 00:42:50,584
Know I had to find out
about this,
786
00:42:50,667 --> 00:42:51,918
the neighborhood's
too small
787
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,000
that I shouldn't
find out about it.
788
00:42:55,584 --> 00:42:58,626
And I understand, uh...
789
00:42:58,709 --> 00:43:00,250
That he also spends...
790
00:43:01,751 --> 00:43:04,209
Some of this time
with you, is that true?
791
00:43:06,209 --> 00:43:08,500
Yes, sir.
792
00:43:08,584 --> 00:43:10,834
And I understand also
that some of these hours
793
00:43:10,918 --> 00:43:12,876
he spends with your father.
794
00:43:12,959 --> 00:43:14,626

Yes, sir.
796
00:43:22,334 --> 00:43:24,918
But what I don't know
is what does he read?
797
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,709
Daniel is my friend.
798
00:43:29,792 --> 00:43:31,334
He's your friend.
He's my son.
799

He's my most precious possession
in the whole world.

I mean, he takes
my place afterwards.
801

He follows me.
802
00:43:39,542 --> 00:43:42,417
I can't tell my Daniel
what to read.
803
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:44,292
And this you may not
understand, you know.
804
00:43:44,375 --> 00:43:46,542

about Danny's going to Hirsch,

01:00:10,959 --> 01:00:14,459
I... predict...
1066
01:00:14,542 --> 01:00:17,083
that if you don't concentrate,
1067
01:00:17,167 --> 01:00:20,709
you will lose this game.
1068
01:00:21,834 --> 01:00:23,209
That's my prediction.
1069
01:00:24,709 --> 01:00:26,000
♪
1070
01:00:37,667 --> 01:00:38,584
What are you reading?
1071
01:00:39,751 --> 01:00:42,042
A book.
1072
01:00:42,125 --> 01:00:44,584
I might have figured that
out if I had enough time.
1073
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:46,834
Oh.
1074
01:00:48,459 --> 01:00:50,000
Aren't you supposed to be
helping your mother
1075
01:00:50,083 --> 01:00:51,167
in the kitchen?
1076
01:00:51,250 --> 01:00:53,250
Is that all you think
a girl does?
1077
01:00:53,334 --> 01:00:54,459
Cook and clean?
1078
01:00:57,751 --> 01:00:59,500
Boy, do I pity your husband.
1079
01:01:00,584 --> 01:01:02,542
Boy, do I pity your wife.
1080
01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:21,375
-Let me see!
-No...
1081
01:01:21,459 --> 01:01:23,083
Uh, Shaindeleh,
come in the kitchen
1082
01:01:23,167 --> 01:01:25,417
and help me with
the vegetables, hmm?
1083
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:26,709
But I'm reading.
1084
01:01:26,792 --> 01:01:29,876
The book can wait.
The food can't. Come.
1085
01:01:38,459 --> 01:01:41,209
Reuven: What a strange and
wondrous household this was.
1086
01:01:41,292 --> 01:01:44,292
I never realized how full
the life of a rabbi could be.
1087
01:01:44,375 --> 01:01:46,167
There were babies to be blessed
1088
01:01:46,250 --> 01:01:48,918
and boys to be bar mitzvahed
and disputes to settled.
1089
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,834
An almost endless procession
of people came in and out
1090
01:01:51,918 --> 01:01:53,959
to get advice from
Reb Saunders.
1091
01:01:54,042 --> 01:01:55,709
On everything, anything.
1092
01:01:55,792 --> 01:01:56,709
What is this?
1093
01:01:58,042 --> 01:02:00,250
Save it.
It'll bring you good luck.
1094
01:02:00,334 --> 01:02:01,834
You'll get married real quick.
1095
01:02:01,918 --> 01:02:04,292
( Singing in Hebrew )
1096
01:02:06,542 --> 01:02:07,709
Reuven: But the really
special events
1097
01:02:07,792 --> 01:02:09,500
were the marriages.
1098
01:02:09,584 --> 01:02:12,584
And since I was now accepted
as a member of the family,
1099
01:02:12,667 --> 01:02:14,626
I was there
for all the celebrations.
1100
01:02:21,125 --> 01:02:23,167
( Lively music playing )
1101
01:02:49,334 --> 01:02:50,667
Reuven!
1102
01:02:50,751 --> 01:02:52,375
Wait, no! No!
1103
01:02:52,459 --> 01:02:54,250
No, Danny I-- I can't.
1104
01:02:54,334 --> 01:02:56,918
I don't know how!
I don't-- I don't know how.
1105
01:03:09,209 --> 01:03:11,209
( Jubilant shouting )
1106
01:03:42,125 --> 01:03:44,209
( Tempo slows )
1107
01:05:21,209 --> 01:05:25,584
( Tempo increases )
1108
01:05:27,125 --> 01:05:29,334
( Jubilant shouting )
1109
01:07:03,083 --> 01:07:04,667
Having a good time?
1110
01:07:04,751 --> 01:07:07,334
Danny, I am having
a wonderful time.
1111
01:07:07,417 --> 01:07:08,709
Good.
1112
01:07:08,792 --> 01:07:11,167
The groom,
he's not much older than us.
1113
01:07:11,250 --> 01:07:12,626
He's the only one
who doesn't look like
1114
01:07:12,709 --> 01:07:14,042
he's having such a good time.
1115
01:07:15,375 --> 01:07:17,250
You know how long
they've been engaged?
1116
01:07:17,334 --> 01:07:18,250
No.
1117
01:07:19,417 --> 01:07:20,667
Six years.
1118
01:07:20,751 --> 01:07:21,584
Six years?
1119
01:07:22,959 --> 01:07:25,542
You mean they made up
their mind six years ago?
1120
01:07:25,626 --> 01:07:26,626
No.
1121
01:07:26,709 --> 01:07:28,626
Their marriage
was arranged.
1122
01:07:28,709 --> 01:07:31,125
It's a Hasidic custom.
1123
01:07:31,209 --> 01:07:33,459
It doesn't sound
very romantic.
1124
01:07:33,542 --> 01:07:35,834
Maybe not.
But it works.
1125
01:07:37,375 --> 01:07:39,125
Now, my sister
Shaindel...
1126
01:07:39,209 --> 01:07:41,417
-Shaindel?
-Yes.
1127
01:07:41,500 --> 01:07:43,417
Her marriage contract
was arranged
1128
01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:44,959
when she was just a child.
1129
01:07:45,042 --> 01:07:47,292
She's going to marry
the son of another rebbe.
1130
01:07:50,500 --> 01:07:51,709
Has she met him?
1131
01:07:52,834 --> 01:07:54,792
DANNY: Once. Twice.
1132
01:07:56,334 --> 01:07:57,417
Does she like him?
1133
01:07:58,834 --> 01:08:01,334
I don't know.
I never asked her.
1134
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,042
Reuven...
1135
01:08:07,209 --> 01:08:09,125
I thought I should
tell you now.
1136
01:08:10,334 --> 01:08:11,792
I wouldn't want you
to be hurt.
1137
01:08:13,083 --> 01:08:14,334
Yeah.
1138
01:08:15,959 --> 01:08:17,167
Thanks.
1139
01:08:19,209 --> 01:08:20,375
Come on, friend.
1140
01:08:21,542 --> 01:08:22,792
Come, come.
1141
01:08:22,876 --> 01:08:23,792
Dance.
1142
01:08:23,876 --> 01:08:24,959
In a minute.
1143
01:08:55,083 --> 01:08:56,751
Levi, you shouldn't play
with the food.
1144
01:08:56,834 --> 01:08:58,209
Eat it.
1145
01:08:58,292 --> 01:09:00,375
Look at Reuven,
you see how he's eating?
1146
01:09:00,459 --> 01:09:01,876
That's what
you should be doing.
1147
01:09:01,959 --> 01:09:04,542
Saunders: Leave him alone,
believe me.
1148
01:09:04,626 --> 01:09:06,542
He'll eat when he gets hungry.
1149
01:09:06,626 --> 01:09:07,918
Don't worry about that.
1150
01:09:09,500 --> 01:09:10,626
And when the messiah comes,
1151
01:09:11,918 --> 01:09:13,751
There'll be no more hunger
in the world.
1152
01:09:13,834 --> 01:09:15,959
There'll be no more war.
1153
01:09:16,042 --> 01:09:17,834
There'll be no more struggles.
1154
01:09:17,918 --> 01:09:20,042
When the messiah comes,
he'll lead our people
1155
01:09:20,125 --> 01:09:21,542
to the land of Israel.
1156
01:09:22,918 --> 01:09:25,626
I thought that the messiah
was supposed to come
1157
01:09:25,709 --> 01:09:28,375
after a great catastrophe.
1158
01:09:28,459 --> 01:09:30,667
Haven't we had that?
1159
01:09:30,751 --> 01:09:32,167
He can come any time.
1160
01:09:33,417 --> 01:09:37,042
In fact,
there's a very funny story,
1161
01:09:37,125 --> 01:09:41,959
about, the--
the holy Reb Enoch--
1162
01:09:42,042 --> 01:09:45,083
this man had such a problem
about the messiah,
1163
01:09:45,167 --> 01:09:46,834
you can't believe.
1164
01:09:46,918 --> 01:09:50,667
If he heard within
a block of the house a sound,
1165
01:09:50,751 --> 01:09:53,667
a cricket should make a chirp,
he thought it was the messiah.
1166
01:09:53,751 --> 01:09:55,083
If a stranger came in the house,
1167
01:09:55,167 --> 01:09:57,042
this man would jump
like a white Mariah.
1168
01:09:57,125 --> 01:09:59,209
"The messiah, the messiah,
the messiah."
1169
01:09:59,292 --> 01:10:00,709
Meshuga, not the messiah.
1170
01:10:00,792 --> 01:10:01,667
( Laughs )
1171
01:10:03,709 --> 01:10:05,125
Well, there's
some people that say
1172
01:10:05,209 --> 01:10:08,000
that we shouldn't have
to wait for the messiah,
1173
01:10:08,083 --> 01:10:11,417
that Palestine should become
a Jewish homeland now.
1174
01:10:13,334 --> 01:10:16,375
Some people say we should build
this homeland for ourselves.
1175
01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:20,876
And who are these people
that say
1176
01:10:20,959 --> 01:10:22,417
that they should build
a new land?
1177
01:10:24,542 --> 01:10:25,584
Who are these people?
1178
01:10:25,667 --> 01:10:27,083
Well...
1179
01:10:27,167 --> 01:10:29,626
It is written that the messiah
and the messiah only
1180
01:10:29,709 --> 01:10:32,250
will bring the Jews
to the new land!
1181
01:10:32,334 --> 01:10:35,209
Only the messiah
when he comes will bring them!
1182
01:10:35,292 --> 01:10:37,584
And God will help build
their new land!
1183
01:10:37,667 --> 01:10:38,918
That's what written!
God!
1184
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,918
Not Ben-Gurion
and his henchmen!
1185
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:41,834
No!
1186
01:10:43,125 --> 01:10:44,500
Never!
1187
01:10:53,417 --> 01:10:56,751
How am I supposed to know that
Zionism is a contaminated idea?
1188
01:10:56,834 --> 01:10:58,834
The men who want to set up
a state of Israel
1189
01:10:58,918 --> 01:11:00,584
are not orthodox Jews.
1190
01:11:00,667 --> 01:11:01,792
What difference does that make?
1191
01:11:02,959 --> 01:11:03,792
( Sighs )
1192
01:11:05,792 --> 01:11:06,626
Reuven...
1193
01:11:08,209 --> 01:11:10,542
Just don't talk about
a Jewish state here anymore.
1194
01:11:10,626 --> 01:11:11,876
Okay?
1195
01:11:11,959 --> 01:11:14,834
To my father, the idea
of a Jewish state
1196
01:11:14,918 --> 01:11:17,250
that's not religious,
it's a violation
1197
01:11:17,334 --> 01:11:18,959
of everything he believes.
1198
01:11:19,042 --> 01:11:20,292
I'm glad I didn't mention
1199
01:11:20,375 --> 01:11:22,125
it was my father
who said all that.
1200
01:11:22,209 --> 01:11:24,292
I might have been
thrown out of the house.
1201
01:11:24,375 --> 01:11:25,667
You would have been.
1202
01:11:45,459 --> 01:11:46,542
What are you thinking?
1203
01:11:47,918 --> 01:11:49,417
About my father.
1204
01:11:52,167 --> 01:11:53,334
I miss him.
1205
01:11:56,417 --> 01:11:58,584
You'll be glad to leave here,
won't you?
1206
01:11:58,667 --> 01:12:01,751
Well, you can't say I'm
particularly welcome right now.
1207
01:12:03,918 --> 01:12:05,792
You think my father's a tyrant.
1208
01:12:09,042 --> 01:12:10,834
( Sighs )
1209
01:12:10,918 --> 01:12:13,167
DANNY:
No. I feel sorry for him.
1210
01:12:17,167 --> 01:12:18,542
He's trapped.
1211
01:12:20,918 --> 01:12:22,751
You know what it's like
to be trapped?
1212
01:12:25,584 --> 01:12:27,751
REUVEN: I was glad
when my father came home.
1213
01:12:27,834 --> 01:12:30,375
It was a relief to get back
to the world again.
1214
01:12:30,459 --> 01:12:33,042
He was so possessed with
the drive for a Jewish state
1215
01:12:33,125 --> 01:12:35,250
that he threw himself
into more work.
1216
01:12:35,334 --> 01:12:37,417
He wrote speeches,
newspaper articles
1217
01:12:37,500 --> 01:12:39,751
advancing the cause
of a Jewish homeland.
1218
01:12:39,834 --> 01:12:41,292
You're working too hard.
1219
01:12:41,375 --> 01:12:42,709
( Typewriter clacking )
1220
01:12:44,125 --> 01:12:45,459
I'm fine, don't worry.
1221
01:12:47,042 --> 01:12:48,792
I worry.
1222
01:12:48,876 --> 01:12:50,834
I think that you're driving
yourself too hard.
1223
01:12:50,918 --> 01:12:52,167
You need some rest.
1224
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:53,792
Rest?
1225
01:12:53,876 --> 01:12:56,083
While Jewish boys
are risking their lives,
1226
01:12:56,167 --> 01:12:59,542
fighting in the streets
for an idea,
1227
01:12:59,626 --> 01:13:02,584
for something they believe in,
I should rest?
1228
01:13:02,667 --> 01:13:04,167
No, I can't do that, son.
1229
01:13:04,250 --> 01:13:08,375
Only a life with meaning
is worthy of rest.
1230
01:13:08,459 --> 01:13:09,959
( Typewriter clacking )
1231
01:13:10,042 --> 01:13:13,876
I want to be worthy
of that rest, you understand?
1232
01:13:13,959 --> 01:13:15,792
Yes.
1233
01:13:15,876 --> 01:13:18,375
Anyway, we don't live forever.
1234
01:13:19,667 --> 01:13:21,250
I'm not trying to scare you.
1235
01:13:21,334 --> 01:13:23,334
Look, between
you and the doctor,
1236
01:13:23,417 --> 01:13:25,250
I'll live another 100 years.
1237
01:13:26,334 --> 01:13:27,500
You're scaring me.
1238
01:13:31,417 --> 01:13:32,542
Reuven...
1239
01:13:34,709 --> 01:13:36,417

01:36:02,167 --> 01:36:04,083
"What have you done to me?"
1590
01:36:04,167 --> 01:36:06,083
You give me a mind like this
for a son.
1591
01:36:08,334 --> 01:36:10,083
A heart I need for a son.
1592
01:36:12,626 --> 01:36:16,459
A soul... I need for a son.
1593
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,292
Compassion and mercy
I need from a son.
1594
01:36:24,459 --> 01:36:26,083
And above all...
1595
01:36:27,209 --> 01:36:30,959
the strength to carry pain.
1596
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,542
That I need from a son.
1597
01:36:39,709 --> 01:36:41,167
And how was I to do this?
1598
01:36:41,250 --> 01:36:42,083
I mean...
1599
01:36:43,751 --> 01:36:44,959
...that was the question.
1600
01:36:45,042 --> 01:36:46,042
How was I to--
1601
01:36:47,959 --> 01:36:48,918
to teach him?
1602
01:36:53,876 --> 01:36:58,292
How was I going to be
able to do this...
1603
01:37:01,083 --> 01:37:03,584
to this son that I love...
1604
01:37:06,500 --> 01:37:10,375
and not lose
the love of my son?
1605
01:37:14,584 --> 01:37:17,751
When Danny was young,
I used to hold him close.
1606
01:37:19,459 --> 01:37:21,209
We used to laugh together.
1607
01:37:21,292 --> 01:37:22,667
We used to play together.
1608
01:37:22,751 --> 01:37:25,959
We used to whisper
secrets to each other.
1609
01:37:28,584 --> 01:37:30,459
We played.
1610
01:37:30,542 --> 01:37:32,292
Then as he became older,
1611
01:37:33,500 --> 01:37:36,083
and he became
indifferent to people
1612
01:37:36,167 --> 01:37:38,918
less brilliant
than he thought he was,
1613
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:40,417
I saw what I had to do.
1614
01:37:43,792 --> 01:37:48,542
I had to teach my Daniel
that way.
1615
01:37:51,042 --> 01:37:53,125
Through the wisdom
and the pain...
1616
01:37:56,125 --> 01:37:57,459
of silence...
1617
01:37:59,083 --> 01:38:00,751
as my father did to me.
1618
01:38:03,500 --> 01:38:05,876
I was forced
to push him away from me.
1619
01:38:05,959 --> 01:38:08,792
He became very frightened.
He became bewildered.
1620
01:38:08,876 --> 01:38:11,417
But slowly,
he began to understand
1621
01:38:11,500 --> 01:38:14,792
that other people
are alone in this world, too.
1622
01:38:14,876 --> 01:38:18,125
Other people are suffering,
other people...
1623
01:38:19,584 --> 01:38:21,083
...are carrying pain.
1624
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:26,959
And then...
1625
01:38:27,042 --> 01:38:31,250
in this silence
we had between us...
1626
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:38,167
Gradually his self-pride,
1627
01:38:38,250 --> 01:38:43,083
his feeling of superiority,
1628
01:38:43,167 --> 01:38:46,209
his indifference...
1629
01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:49,334
began to...
1630
01:38:51,918 --> 01:38:53,167
to fade away.
1631
01:38:54,918 --> 01:38:57,834
And he learned
through the wisdom
1632
01:38:59,751 --> 01:39:02,292
and the pain of silence
1633
01:39:03,417 --> 01:39:06,626
that a mind without a heart...
1634
01:39:09,417 --> 01:39:10,542
is nothing.
1635

Maybe, but--

but I don't--
I don't think so
1641

because my beloved Daniel
has learned.
1642

Oh, let him--
let him go.
