A quiet and simple man, Joshua appears to seek nothing for himself. He supports himself by working as a carpenter. He charges very little for his services, yet his craftsmanship is exquisite. The statue of Moses that he carves for the local synagogue prompts amazement as well as consternation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat are the townsfolk to make of this enigmatic stranger?
