Storyline:
What happens when the teacher becomes the student—and the student finds himself lost?

A cantor struggling with a crisis of faith is going through the motions, unsure of his place in his community and in his own spiritual journey. But his life takes an unexpected turn when his former grade school music teacher—a figure from his past—re-enters his life as his new adult Bat Mitzvah student.

As their paths intertwine once again, their dynamic shifts in unexpected ways, challenging everything the cantor thought he knew about belief, purpose, and the role of tradition in personal identity. Through humor, heartfelt moments, and the power of music, Between the Temples is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, second chances, and the connections that shape us.
