Synopsis

We take a journey from Biblical Israel all the way to New York harbor, as we connect the dots between "Rachel weeping for her children" in the Book of Jeremiah to the identification of the Statue of Liberty with "Mother of Exiles" in Jewish poet Emma Lazarus' sonnet at the base of the statue.
