Growing up in the Hasidic faith, every aspect of Moshe's life was defined and dictated by scripture. When Moshe turned 18 he escaped Hasidic life, moving to live with his secular grandmother and grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, just outside New York City. Absent the rigorous structure and demands of his ultra-religious upbringing, Moshe struggles to find a new identity that balances his love for his faith and family with the "freedom" of the outside world. Beyond Eyruv explores the courage and confusion of young Orthodox people who decide to search for their identities in a fast moving and open culture that is completely foreign to them.
