Zach is the eldest son from Chaim´s second marriage, and endures the demands that come with this position. He doesn´t feel up to the demands of his father, whom he fears as much as he loves. Zach is always seeking the himself that way, on the contrary. He thinks he is generous and benevolent when he ignores the weaknesses of the rich, as he closes his eyes to his own flaws. He is what we would call a religious fanatic, completely wrong and sickly, tormented by untold desires.
