Phillips Smalley as Rabbi Isaac, and Lois Weber as Leah, his daughter, play the leads in this three-real drama, telling of an aged Rabbi's change of heart toward his children, whom he drives out of his home in the first place because they fall in love with gentiles. The reconciliation occurs at Christmas time when the child of Leah, whose marriage is attended with many troubles, induces the old Rabbi to decorate a Christmas tree for her. The characterizations are all good and the film will win many friends for its admirable presentation. - The Moving Picture World, December 20, 1913
