Description
Gershon and his wife live on the shores of the Black Sea "many years ago" in this retelling of a very old Hasidic legend. Gershon has made mistakes in his life, but never regretted or apologized. He has simply swept the bad deeds into the cellar. Once a year, on Rosh Hashanah, he bags them and tosses them into the sea. But "there is always a price to pay." When Gershon and his wife finally have the twin children they have wanted for so long, he is warned that he will lose them because of his thoughtlessness. A monster from the sea threatens the children, so Gershon offers himself instead, finally sorry for his wickedness.
