Hershele

de Jacob Dinezon

When Hershele, a poor but brilliant yeshiva student, is invited for a weekly charity meal by a rich widow, he comes face to face with Mirele, the widow's pretty, bright and strong-willed daughter. As the two innocently come to know each other, they fall in love. Are they destined to be together or will rigid class differences, shtetl politics and a ruthless marriage broker tear them apart?
