By JERUSALEM POST STAFFChaim Elbaum 88 248(photo credit: Courtesy)And Thou Shalt Love is the First Prize winner of The Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival's short film competition. The movie, which deals with homosexuality in religious society, was cited for "impressive directing" on the part of Chaim Elbaum. Elbaum's film is based on his life story; 10 years ago, when he realized that he was homosexual, Elbaum felt he had no place in the yeshiva world and wanted to commit suicide. But with this film - and this win - Elbaum said God had answered him.
