n “Menashe,” which debuts nationally July 28, director Joshua Weinstein has delicately crafted a work that emanates a rarely seen au- thenticity, tenderness and depth sadly lacking Iin other mainstream films about Hasidic Jews and their communities. A Hasidic father named Menashe, who works long hours in a small grocery store in Brooklyn, struggling to make ends meet, has lost his young wife Lea to illness. Their sole child Rieven, an ad- olescent, has also become suddenly bereft of his beloved mother. Anchored against the resulting father-and-son relationship is Aizek, Menashe’s former brother-in-law and Rieven’s uncle, a suc- cessful but arrogant property owner who seeks custody of the boy to raise him in his own family.
