Michael Green is embarking upon his first job interview since graduating college. While he is preparing himself for the interview ritual, his mother is nagging him to go on the family’s annual trip to grandmother’s house for Hanukkah. This year, however, Michael just might have to choose between the trip and a new job, between tradition and the workplace. Through several flashbacks to traumatic events from his childhood, we are made aware of his identity crisis. Will Michael discuss the conflict with his potential employer? Will he land the job? An innovative and refreshing approach, by Ben Semanoff, to being "Jewish in America." 13 MIN.
