Eleanor is a smart, savvy PHD candidate. Just back from a disastrous Birth Right trip and a broken relationship, she is thrust into a new relationship with Aaron. He’s a doctor, he’s got the brains, the looks, the wit… But wait! He’s also got a serious case of Zionism and affinity to religion. Can Eleanor, whose secular brand of Judaism might include the occasional latke but definitely does not include God, see past his yarmulke to find her true love? This is a love story. It’s a story of identity. It’s about who you are and who you can be.
