Haïm-Aaron vit à Jérusalem où il effectue de brillantes études dans une yeshiva ultra orthodoxe. Ses aptitudes et sa dévotion font l’envie de tous. Un soir, alors qu’il s’impose un jeûne drastique, Haïm-Aaron s’effondre et perd connaissance. Après 40 minutes de soins infructueux, les médecins le déclarent mort.
