Synopsis
"Chaim Potok's acclaimed novel is translated to the screen in this lyrical adaptation. It's World War II, and as battles rage in Europe and Asia, two young men -- one a member of the Hasidim, the other the son of a reformed Jew -- become friends in spite of their differences. Stars Maximilian Schell, Rod Steiger and Robby Benson." {Netflix]
The mind without the heart is nothing, Danny's father tells him. The Hassidic Jews like Danny's father believed, "No state of Israel without the Messiah." For other Jews, it was only the state of Israel that could protect Jews from another Holocaust. Their motto was, "Never again!"
