Yakov Ronen (Dave Davis) is a Jewish man struggling in life. He is currently unemployed and struggling to pay rent. Yakov even chooses between paying for medication or meals. But soon, Yakov is approached by a man who requires an overnight shomer. If you are not familiar with what a shomer is, it is a Jewish practice in which a person watches over the body of a recently deceased member of the community. The shomer will read from the book of Psalms to protect the soul of the recently deceased. This ritual is called The Vigil. Press Play to hear my thoughts (spoiler-free) on "The Vigil" (2019).
