|
When a teenage boy finds a frozen 19th century rabbi at the bottom of his parents' freezer, he begins a search to understand both how he got there and what was behind the tradition that carried this little man all the way from the pograms of Poland to New York City's Lower Eastside at the turn of the 20th Century, and ending up in a basement freezer in a middle-class home in Memphis, Tennessee, at the start of the 21st Century.
