The Quarrel
They have one afternoon to reclaim their friendship... and their faith.
In Montreal, on Rosh Hashanah, 1948, writer Chaim is forced to reflect on his religion when asked to be the tenth in a minyan. As he sits in the park, he suddenly sees an old friend whom he hasn't seen since they quarrelled when they were Yeshiva together. Hersh, a rabbi, survived Auschwitz and his faith was strengthened by his ordeal, while Chaim escaped the Nazis, but had lost his faith long before. The two walk, reminisce, and argue passionately about themselves, their actions, their lives, their religion, their old quarrel, and their friendship.
