Menashe is a 2017 Yiddish-language American drama film directed by Joshua Z. Weinstein, it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2017, where it was acquired by A24 for U. S. distribution. The film was released in the United States on July 28, 2017. Menashe, a widowed Hasidic Jewish man, tries to regain custody of his ten-year-old son Rieven. Rieven is living with his aunt and uncle per a ruling by the Rabbi that Menashe must first remarry to provide a proper home for his son. Menashe's first marriage was unhappy, he is reluctant to wed again, he works as a clerk in a grocery store with a difficult manager, has a hard time earning enough money for himself. He doesn't wear the traditional black coat and top hat in public, though his son tells him he would look nice in one. Eizik, his successful brother-in-law, looks down on him, they argue in front of the Rabbi, who lets Rieven stay with Menashe for a week, until the upcoming memorial service for his wife, but reiterates the requirement for a two-parent home.

Eizik wants the memorial meal in his finer home, but Menashe insists on having it in his shabby apartment. Getting a "bachelor-proof" recipe for kugel from a neighbor, Menashe puts the pan in the oven before going to the cemetery for the service, he and the participants, including the Rabbi, return to an apartment full of smoke. Eizik criticizes the burnt kugel. Menashe is told he must first find a wife. Menashe says, he goes to the ritual bath, dons a coat and top hat. The plot of Menashe is loosely based on Lustig's life. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times he said that "unlike Menashe in the film, I'm not a schlimazel by nature. Maybe just a schlimazel by situation."Customs and religious practices depicted include: a Lag BaOmer bonfire studying texts in the beth midrash a Farbrengen Negel vasser - morning ritual, bedside hand washing. Wearing the tallit katan undergarment wearing the rekel overcoat Mikvah, immersion in a ritual bathThe film was shot over the course of two years in Borough Park, home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish populations outside of Israel, a decision that Weinstein has said was motivated by a desire for authenticity.

In an interview before the film's Sundance premiere, he said, "When I thought about making a film in Borough Park, in Yiddish, with real Hasidic Jews, to me, it was just as interesting as any documentary I made."
