Other Project Descriptions:
THEATER: "Four [Women] Entered Paradise." by Sigal Samuel
A Talmudic tale teaches us that when four male sages enter a mystical garden, it destroys their lives forever. But what would happen if the four biblical matriarchs entered it instead? Sigal Samuel's new one-act play looks at just that.
THEATER: "The Faith in Her Eyes" by Clemence Boulouque
Who are the mothers who never had children? Through a monologue about Regina Jonas, the first woman rabbi who was ordained in Berlin in 1935, Clemence Bouloque explores a legacy of love and moral courage. For many, Regina's motherly presence gave them the power to cling to life during a hopeless time.
TEACHING: "The War of the Wombs: Part One" by Ruby Namdar
Ruby Namdar will explore the power struggle between the bible's Sarah and Hagar. Two women, two children, one inheritance.
