Ima is the mother of Ellie and Neshama's mother. She spent her early life, wandering.... searching for something more than a college education. After meeting Abba, she discovered they were both seeking God. Over time, Ima becomes increasingly devout, a devotion that culminates in a trip to Israel. Her mission is to educate other Jews about their faith.
Ima proves to be critical in Ellie's life, helping her to come to terms with her doubts about God and Judaism. She tells her daughter that God is a powerful force, like gravity and love, and that He is always there, whether or not people get in the way of someone's relationship with God.
