The heart-cry of Jewish history, “Have you forgotten your people oh God?” is answered in ‘THE COVENANT’, a dramatic musical of the story of a chosen people and their faith in God. UK PAL version available again soon.
Filmed live in Jerusalem, this breathtaking musical retraces the remarkable journey of the People of Israel through Biblical promises, from the call of Abraham until the birth of the modern state. Experience the pain of Egyptian slavery through the eyes of Moses’ mother as she sets her baby into the Nile, the loyalty of Ruth as she pledges herself to Naomi and her God, and the turmoil of the Jews in Babylonian exile and under Roman occupation. In the dark centuries following, The Covenant brings the viewer to the Shabbat tables of persecuted Jewish families in the Diaspora, ending in the Warsaw ghetto, and culminating in the tragedy of the Holocaust and the promised rebirth of the Jewish State in 1948. The Covenant’s unforgettable message has touched thousands of Israeli lives during some of the nation’s most turbulent times.
Main feature running time 76 minutes, special feature 19 minutes.
