In the present day, a middle-aged Jewish man lives with his wife, Debbie, and their 16-year-old son, Trevor, in South Florida. Debbie’s old childhood best friend, Lauren, comes to visit South Florida with her husband, Mark. Lauren and Mark moved to Jerusalem several years ago, where they became Orthodox Jews and raised ten children. The man dislikes Lauren and Mark because they seem like righteous sticklers, judging them for their lack of “pure” Judaism. However, the walls between the two couples begin to topple when Lauren and Mark reveal that they smoke weed all the time back in Israel. Debbie wants to try it, while the protagonist hangs back, shocked that his wife is so willing to get high. Debbie reveals that she’d found some weed in Trevor’s room a few days before, making the protagonist even angrier that she kept the secret from him. They all get high, and the protagonist’s anger dissolves. The two couples talk about a variety of topics related to Judaism. Mark tells a funny story about two Holocaust survivors, and then he expresses his fear that Trevor will not be raised right and marry outside of the religion. Debbie and her husband brush these fears off. They end the day by playing this game that Debbie and the protagonist like to play, where they consider which one of their neighbors would hide them if another Holocaust were to happen. Lauren sits, silently, wondering if Mark, assuming he was not her husband, would hide her. She concludes that he wouldn’t.
