| The Guests (Hebrew title: Ha-Ushpizin, האושפיזין) is a 2005 Israeli film directed by Gidi Dar. Moshe and Mali Bellanga are an impoverished Hasidic baal teshuva ("returnees ") couple in the Breslov community in Jerusalem. They cannot pay their bills, after Moshe is passed over for a stipend he expected, much less prepare for the upcoming Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Moshe admires a particularly beautiful etrog, one of the four species required for the holiday observance. They console themselves by recalling a saying of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov that difficult times are a test of faith. After some anguished prayer, they receive an unexpected gift that solves their financial problems on the eve of the holiday and Moshe buys the etrog for 1000 shekel (about U.S. $223 in 2004). But then they are visited by a pair of escaped convicts, one of whom knew Moshe in his earlier, non-religious life. The convicts become their guests (ushpizin) in the sukkah, creating many conflicts and straining Moshe and Mali's relationship. Cast
