When a careless mistake leaves Owen’s favorite toy on the ground, a heavy wall of anger builds up in his heart. No matter how much his friend apologizes, Owen just wants to hold onto his grudge.

Sitting around the Friday evening dinner table, surrounded by the warmth of their lit Shabbat candles and braided challah, Owen’s parents notice his hurting heart. To help him understand the true meaning of mercy, they open the Scriptures to the story of the Prodigal Son. As Owen listens to the timeless parable, he realizes something profound: just as a loving, compassionate father runs with open arms to welcome his wandering son, he too is called to let go of his bitterness and forgive.
