A movie aired on cable in the mid to late 1990s, but could have been any age at the time. I perceived the protagonist as a caricatured Orthodox Jew of the Woody Allen variety, so I suppose it was a comedy - but it could also have been a drama that came across other than intended. I remember two scenes. In one, he was some kind of captive and a Tora was in danger of falling into a campfire; possibly hilarity ensued as he rescued it? In the other, he woke up in some kind of hospital and was startled by the first thing he saw, which was a crucifix worn by an attending nun. Any idea?
