Meir Rosen is a mature, responsible bachur who’s excited to be in a post-
high-school yeshivah in Eretz Yisrael—a year filled with Torah study, visits 
to the Kosel, and touring ancient sites. But periods of nervous high energy
leave Meir anxious and afraid; his bouts of sleepiness and haziness make it
hard to focus. After several months of uncertainty, Meir receives a shocking
diagnosis. Can he regain his mental health and stability, despite his family’s
fear and rejection?
