HAPPY NEW YEAR - Short

Michael wants to be Jewish. He is ten years old and feels like an outsider. This is magnified when an important spelling test at school clashes with Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) and he is not allowed it off. He attempts to use the holiday to find a way out of the test, but bites off more than he can chew...
