A Reform and Conservative Synagogue Serving the Rivertowns
“Present Continuous” (Original title: “HaHaim Bentaim”)
One Friday afternoon, while everyone is asleep, Ruti, an Israeli mother, barricades her home. Ruti is unable to deal with the stress and anxiety she suffers as a result of the political situation. She decides to protect her 20-year-old soldier son, Ofer, her 16-year-old daughter, Noa, and her husband, Yoel. They all wake up to find the house locked, disconnected from the outside world. “For how long?” ask the surprised family members. “Until there is peace,” comes the motherly response.
