Asher Lev has a gift – and a calling to be a great artist. But to his insular Hasidic community, his passion is more than rebellion; it’s heresy. Torn between tradition and talent, between the call of his heritage and the cry of his soul, Asher wrestles with family and canvas in a fight to paint his truth – no matter the cost. The legendary Chaim Potok’s beloved novel comes to colorful life in this deft adaptation.
