In the heart of Brooklyn's ultra-orthodox Jewish community, Menashe, a recent widower, finds himself embroiled in a battle for custody of his son, Rieven. Set against the backdrop of a close-knit and conservative community, the tender drama Menashe takes viewers on an intimate journey through the complexities of faith and parenthood.

Performed entirely in Yiddish, the film delves into the struggles faced by Menashe as he grapples with his responsibilities as a father and his desire to maintain a connection to his religious roots. Menashe's determination to raise his son himself, against the traditions that demand a child to be raised in a two-parent household, challenges the community's strict societal norms.

Directed by Joshua Z Weinstein, Menashe presents a heartfelt exploration of the human spirit, as the protagonist navigates his way through the emotional landscape of grief, love, and sacrifice. The film takes the audience on a journey that highlights the universal longing for connection and the lengths a parent is willing to go for their child.

A critically acclaimed and award-winning film, Menashe offers a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that will resonate with viewers from all walks of life. Witness the power of faith, love, and determination as Menashe embarks on a soul-stirring quest to become the father he longs to be.
