Synopsis In a cramped synagogue in north-west London, the eminent elderly rabbi —Rav Krushka —passes away. On the other side of the Atlantic, his estranged daughter Ronit now living in New York hears of her father’s death and returns to London to look up old friends and, perhaps, settle old scores. But Ronit finds the community she grew up in a more confusing place than she’d anticipated. With its timely themes concerning the search for spirituality in the modern world and the clash between ancient religions and contemporary sexual and moral views, this is a wise, moving and witty debut.
