During a pogrom, a Jewish congregation hides overnight in a synagogue while the rabbi reads from the Torah. Each act re-enacts a biblical theme. The destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and the deportation of the people hiding in the synagogue converge, while a messianic voice offers hope of deliverance in Zion.
