Ushpizin (2005)

Hasidic Intrigue

Providing funny in-site into a traditional Jewish community, this movie ends in intrigue.

It is unclear who is fathered a long-awaited boy: an orthodox major movie character or a friend of him, a convict-on-run abusing Jewish rules and hospitality. July 1, 2008

Four thumps up! Mamish the best!

Fantastic movie about people who use their striving for a higher truth to create relationships and deal with difficulties. These people are humble and spiritually superior. You'll be engaged in their struggles and enjoy the light touch and humor. May 27, 2008

INSPIRING, A CHALLENGE TO YOUR FAITH, GOD LOVES HIS PEOPLE

This movie is beautiful! We need more movies like this where God is truly portrait as a God of compassion over His people. This film really shows the challenge of walking the faith, and trusting God even in the midst of hardship; and as a Christian that I am, it gives a true description to Romans 8:28. The prayers and relationship of Moshe and Mali with their Lord is something we Christians should learn about. Remember Jesus said in Matthew 5:20 "unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisses and teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of Heaven" This film has a lot to offer and many lessons to learn. It is a must see. My family and friends who have seen it agree. January 28, 2008
