Algiers, 1920, Rabbi Sfar Zlabia lives with her daughter, a noisy parrot, and a mischievous cat that eats the parrot and begins to tell lies. Now rabbi wants him away. But the cat, crazy in love with his little mistress, is desperate to stay with her… even to do her bar Mitzvah! Rabbi wants to teach his cat the basics of the Mosaic Law! Rabbi gets to learn through a letter that to keep his post, he must submit a dictation in French. To help him, his cat commits the sacrilege to invoke the Lord. Rabbi succeeds but the cat does not speak anymore. It is treated again as an ordinary animal.
