It’s been a while since we’ve watched a movie in our Hebrew class, but the fun of summer lives on. Today we watched Ushpizin, a film about a religious couple’s (the wife’s name happens to be Mali…) faith being tested by a pair of unexpected guests for Sukkot.

True, our main character Moshe is no Shlomi, and Mali does all the baking, but it kept Bess on the edge of her seat (even though this was the third time she saw the movie).

Visit My Jewish Learning to learn more about the tradition of ushpizin, welcoming guests into your Sukkah for the upcoming holiday of Sukkot. This information might be useful to our faithful readers in a few days. Just saying…
