Trivia
It was not well known by the public at the time of this film's release, but the character of Rebbe (Rabbi) Moshe was portrayed by a (formerly New York) Jewish actor named Emanuel Cohen, who had changed his name to John Randolph in 1940, in furtherance of his Hollywood acting career, in order not to be typecast as only Jewish characters.

Goofs
Most of the action takes place between Sonya's birthday, which is in July, as evidenced by her birthstone, the ruby), and Yom Kippur, which is in the early fall. However, in all the outdoor scenes, it is clearly winter, as evidenced by the winter coats on all characters and extras.

Quotes
Sonia Horowitz: There was a fire inside of me.

Renee was great

I would like to comment on Renee's portrayal of the character Sonia--she was absolutely incredible! So many of her roles have been in the "cutesy" genre. This role was devoid of being "cutesy" at all. She was gutsy, believable and did a very good Brooklyn accent. I had never heard of this movie for one reason or another, and I'm glad I caught it on cable. A very, very good movie. One other comment: I am a Protestant, and I know very little about the Jewish faith. This movie peaked my curiosity for more knowledge about Hasidic followers of Judaism. I Googled and read about the beginning of the Hasidic beliefs. Once again, the cinema has enlightened me about a subject I previously had no knowledge of.
