A charismatic and handsome young rabbi (Alush) promises to rebuild the synagogue, but seeks to move the community in a far more conservative direction.

Congregants meeting in a schoolroom for morning prayers, are short of a quorum of ten men (a minyan) and stop a man in Hasidic garb passing down the street who agree to join them.

Hearing their story, Rabbi David takes charge and gets the synagogue repaired, but does not complete the woman balcony, claiming a lack of funds.

Unable to find the treasurer, a determined Rabbi David forges a second signature and gives the check to his assistant to cash in order to pay a scribe to write the new scroll.

As Rabbi David watches from his office window, the assistant does so, seeming to ignore the niece, but she soon realizes that instead of a notice, he has handed her the check, thereby allowing the balcony reconstruction to begin.

A charismatic and handsome young rabbi that teaches at a Haredi seminary, he promises to rebuild the synagogue, but wants to move it in a more conservative direction.
