Congregation

Faith, money and principle collide when Eli Stone, the revered senior rabbi of a large congregation learns that he is dying. A bitter struggle breaks out in the congregation's twelve member Board over the election of his successor. At the same time, Eli’s estranged son comes home to organize the takeover of a company whose chairman is his father’s closest friend. On a canvas that moves from the synagogue to Wall Street and from the baseball stadium to suburban bedrooms, Congregation explores the drama that will determine the future of a great congregation, the destiny of an American corporation and the outcome of a son’s efforts to heal a fragile relationship with a father whose love he seeks but whose respect he has never been able to secure.
