Next Year in Jerusalem

Three generations of a Jewish family in New York go back and forth between the present and wartime flashbacks. Abraham Mendel escaped the Nazis and fought for Israeli independence. Now in his seventies, he is a contractor in Brooklyn, with adult daughters who won’t do what he says. Abraham must let go of his regrets if he is going to be the father, and the hero, they need him to be.
