This is a movie, not a book. BUT I have to write about it anyway. This is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful movie! I have heard rave reviews about it for quite some time and it is just recently available in the US. So I asked our local library to purchase a copy and they did! Both DH and I are very impressed with the movie, we enjoyed it so much. It is in Hebrew with English subtitles so I assumed that DH would fall asleep early in the movie. But he really enjoyed the whole movie and even wants to watch it again. :~)

It is a wonderful story about a Jewish couple in Jerusalem celebrating the fall feast of Sukkot, or Feast of Tabernacles. They receive incredible blessings from the L*RD and along with them, a couple of guests who really challenge their strength. Ushpizin means guests. The prayer scenes and the praise scenes were so moving, I almost cried. I'd tell you more about the movie but I would rather you all watch it instead. :~) This will be one of my favorites, quite easily!

Enjoy Ushpizin. I hear that Blockbuster carries it in most areas and if not, try asking your library to purchase a copy. It's only $20. Goodness, you might want a copy for yourself. :~)

For those of you who use Netflix, I just checked and it is available through them. I will be anxiously awaiting it in the mail.

It's a wonderful movie, thanks for showing it to me while I was out there visiting. DH and I and DS watched it during Sukkoth, They thought it was great, and yes I cried again ! I have to tell you one of my favorite parts is when they both are praying, I just loved that. Oh how many times I've had those conversations with the L*rd. You know " I have to tell you I'm sad, I know I shouldn't be, but I'm just really sad" poor Moshe. *sigh*
