Va, Vis Et Deviens (Go, See, and Become) Page #3

So I'll be frank, Schlomo.

We...

we're not religious.

We know that in Ethiopia, you were.

You have always defended the Torah

and survived because of your dreams

to return to Jerusalem.

We respect that,

even if we're not practicing.

If you'd like, tonight,

we'll pray with you.

We'll repeat after you.

Thank you.

That's nice,

but not tonight... Please.

It's just that... not tonight.

Let's sit down.

Don't you like it?

Did she mess up?

Stomach ache.

When I say that, it doesn't work!

They make me finish my plate.

Who do you like better,

Mickey or Donald?

They don't have Mickey

in his country, dummy.

What sport do you like, soccer?

Walking.

Good night.

If you need anything,

come and wake me up.

Mommy, come here! Mommy!

Shut up!

He's really big and muscly!

He's handsome as a prince!

Everyone.

We have a new student:

Schlomo Harrari.

Take a seat, please.

Let's carry on with the lesson,

please...

Did you have a good day, darling?

Hello, Mrs. Zilbermann.

How are you?

So, so...

I've brought you

some fish and oranges.

What?

Fish and oranges!

And the brownie?

I forgot!

Next week.

I'll take down the garbage.

Thanks a lot.

Bye-bye!

Take care of yourself!

Where did we receive the Torah?

- On Mount Sinai.

- Exactly!

And who brought us the Torah?

Moses.

Very good.

Who is the founder of our religion?

Jesus!

Because... Jesus...

converted... he... first Jew...

who became a Christian...

Christianity...

He suffered...

And that's why he walked on water,

turned the other cheek... got a slap.

And Jesus thought...

God's only child,

but... so nice

to have brothers and sisters.

And his mother... is his mother,

but Jesus mustn't say a word...

"Genesis".

"In the beginning

there was heaven and earth..."

One morning I'll wake up,

and I'll be all white.

And I'll speak Yiddish

like a real Jew.

Like Mrs. Zilbermann,

from the first floor,

who's losing her hair

and has a hard time getting around.

Her feet have swollen up

these past few weeks.

I buy her milk and bread.

And brownies. She loves them.

She's constantly saying:

"Oy, oy, oy, mein Gott!"

That's what it is to be Jewish!

Mother's Day

Is Yael OK?

Yes, don't worry.

You're not happy it's me?

Sorry, you're not happy?

I understand French.

Okay... okay.

Was school OK?

I have a surprise for you.

Do you understand "surprise"?

There are good and bad ones...

and big and little surprises.

I have a good one!

Yoram, it's broke!

- What did you touch?

- Me, no!

It's not a toy, damn it!

You say play.

I didn't say to fiddle with it.

How can I work now?

I don't know what he did.

He broke it!

Does it work?

Of course it works!
