Summary:

"A young Israeli couple [Rabbi Menachem Hartman and Racheli Hartman] set out to the Far East ... But this couple and their baby are no ordinary pair. The are emissaries of the Chabad Movement who are sent to Vietnam - on a one-way ticket - to encourage and create a Jewish community there. ... In the face of much uncertainty [they] are able to overcome their apprehension toward their foreign environment because of a deep belief in the magnitude of their mission. And so their meeting with a new and strange culture challenges them in ways that are both touching and baffling."--Container.
