In seventeenth-century Poland, a rabbi takes on the education of the king. The Polish monarch has outlawed a portion of the Jewish funeral rite, and nothing of the community's attorneys, judges, or scholars should come forward to defend the custom before the crown. Only one man dares struggle the sovereign: The spindly old Rabbi Eliezer of Rimanov, whose eccentric habits conceal your brain of the dreamer and the attention of a child. The rabbi is reduced to laughter at the look of the king, for the country's ruler is but a guy - and Rabbi Eliezer is aware how to speak to youngsters. They make a guess: In case the rabbi can convince him that there surely is more to the world than meets the attention, the funeral rite will be restored. To make his case, Eliezer launches into the account of Judah ben Simon, a tale of such majesty and think about that it guarantees to make a dreamer out of all who notice it, changing them forevermore.
