What message was Asher trying to convey by resist moving to Vienna with his parents?

Asher's resistance against moving to Vienna was initially characterized as fear of moving to an unknown place in a foreign country. Though his real reasons can be identified by his resistance to his father's work for the Rebbe. Asher's lack of understanding of his father's work for the Rebbe and religious mission's has unfairly characterized his father's emotions towards him. In fact, Asher believes that if he resist the move to Vienna it will be more of a resistance of the Jewish religion. Subsequently, it shows that his father's spreading of hope and prosperity for the Rebbe is shadow by his son's lack of interest in the religion and the Torah. Rivkeh, Asher's mother, believes strongly in allowing him to be more open in his accepting of different agenda's. But her love for Aryeh plays a devastating role in Asher's development into a none practicing Jew. It can also be concluded that Asher didn't want to continue to be burdened by his father's lack of motivation and acceptance of his art. If he would have gone with his parents in would lead to him stopping the most important thing in his life at that particular time, his artistic representation. By his parents allowing him to stay in Brooklyn with his uncle meant refuting the move to Vienna with his parents showed a sense of disrespect and misunderstanding of the Jewish word his father is trying to make prominent in Austria. Ultimately, Asher's decision impacted his life, most notably his perspective of his father, whom up to that point was against anything that Asher did that concerned art. With winning the Vienna struggle it solidified his resentment to his parents was religious, not personal.
