Fifth Commandment 45 min • Israel, 1998 Hebrew w/subtitles Shimon Azulay, Director

"When my brother became ultra-religious, the delicate fabric that held our family together began to unravel." In The Fifth Commandment, filmmaker Shimon Azulay focuses the lens on his parents, traditional Moroccan Jews living in Jerusalem, and their daily struggle to keep a family intact. Despite divisions that threaten to disrupt every holiday celebration and separate the family each Shabbat, their joy at seeing the family together is paramount. But for their secular children, efforts to accommodate the extremes create additional strain.
