Grounded in the principles of Jewish storytelling, the program emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and community while engaging participants in productions that entertain and inspire.
Grounded in Jewish Arts & Culture
Theater has long been a vital medium for exploring human experiences, a tradition deeply rooted in Jewish culture. From biblical narratives to modern plays by Jewish playwrights like Neil Simon and Wendy Wasserstein, storytelling is central to the Jewish ethos. This program draws on that legacy by encouraging participants to reflect on the moral, ethical, and emotional lessons embedded in the stories they perform.
